'Manikbabur Megh' will remain one of the most iconic Bengali movies of the year. The film, initially released in 2021, had its theatrical release this year. This remains a document of stillness, loneliness, and creates an aura of depression all around. The plot, the build up, the climax; we discuss it all. And this 'we' includes Ayan Mondal, a young and promising theatre practitioner, cinephile, and most importantly one of the biggest 'Manikbabur Megh' fan, provided the fact that he watched it every month in theatres, and motivated people to appreciate this art of stillness.

The world is a place which should ideally be similar to everyone. Gender inequality accrues itself to patriarchy which we are still fighting against.

Do listen. No need to share, I'm not selling this. It's just an attempt to speak out my self realization through my favorite medium.

Being a non-vegetarian myself, this is no attempt to shame meat eaters. But this is a 'call out' for the wannabe animal lovers who simultaneously enjoy their plate of biryani and display their extreme animal love on social media.

Most of us are pretty average in what we do; No wait let me correct it. Most of us are pretty average in what's expected from us.

How to break through the shackles though? Let's discuss!
I needed guts to release this episode, but once we are here, let's go. Your parents love you, they can go to all extents to provide you with even the slightest of happiness. But deifying them, and taking everything they say as god's words may put you in trouble. They can be wrong, and they're, often. Listen to this episode, share your views. Don't let anything be normalized.
Friends are precious, and alike most other aspects, precious things are a rarity. Claiming everyone to be your friend isn't just disrespectful to him or her, it's demeaning to this relationship itself. Let's not do that, let's make less friends, but true ones!
Accepting mistakes is an art which everyone should be an expert in, but sadly for most people, the ego comes in between.

And let's normalize apologizing when we are genuinely wrong. It's not a defeat, it's the sweetest possible victory..
Not that men don't face sexual abuses, just that they often don't say anything. But why? That's because of the society's portrayal of the masculine as strong and powerful. This isn't true always, and mental strength doesn't depend on a gender.

You will be surprised, at times disappointed, but in the end, educated. That's what we all need. Tune in now!

Helping the ones who have actual woes does make sense, but it's very important to be rational in this tough world.

An intense discussion on the same is what this episode has to offer!

The most important element of a marriage should be the coming together of two souls.

Amidst a happy gathering, someone raises the topic of death; and the fun, frolic gets over. The concept of death makes everyone uncomfortable. We don't want to talk about it, but funnily, it's the only truth of life. Let's explore this discomfort, and detach all the eerieness from it!
If we have an uncertain future in front of us with too many obstacles to deal with, the worst we can do is give them a thought together and make the already bad situation even worse.

I had to attach a special prelude to this episode, because the collaboration I was overtly excited about, was interrupted by some external uncontrollable forces.

But in the end, what matters is that we ended up ignoring all the negativity and had a wonderful discussion.
