Why Do The Games in Squid Game S2 Show Real-Life Struggles
Many people have been anxiously awaiting the second season of Squid Game, the most-watched show on Netflix. To win prizes in the first season, players had to compete in several lethal kid-friendly games. The upcoming season, which is also expected to break yet another Netflix record, delves deeper into the limitations and economic background of the surrealistic games. Green light, red light. When the song starts, move forward; when it ends, freeze. It's a fairly easy game. Or is it that moving after the music has stopped carries a death sentence? It was clear from the first season that Squid Game allegorizes the horrors of capitalism through kid-friendly games. Three years later, the second season of arguably the most significant television program of our time advances its adamantly anti-capitalist theme. It accomplishes this by exposing the illusion of "choice" in a system threatening to starve the great majority. In this article, I dive deeper into the dystopian nuances of capitalism and the illusion of choice that stir up scenarios very similar to reality.

A Personal Reflection on Forrest Gump
“Life is Like a Box of Chocolates” The movie starts with Forrest (played by Tom Hanks) sitting on a bench, holding a box of chocolates, and telling a stranger, “My mama always said, life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” This line is so simple, yet it says so much about life. Forrest’s story, from his childhood struggles with leg braces to becoming a war hero, shrimp boat captain, and even a running sensation, is proof of this.

The Utopian Concept of Gender Equity
There is a thin line of disparity between self-respect and arrogance that most people err in their lifetimes and cannot distinguish when the time arrives. I wonder how Indian society finds it appalling for women to be assertive and bold in their stance as they try to voice out their opinions on what they believe in. While I respect our culture of virtue, values and morality, it is baffling how patriarchal our society is, as it still perceives women through the fragile glass lens of being demure, nurturing, soft and family-oriented while she is working and expects her to be silent in her stance when men of the house are talking.

Women on Screen: Psychological Themes in Contemporary Indian Cinema
Cinema and film are prevalent forms of mass communication that significantly influence opinions, shape perceptions, and reinforce prevailing cultural norms. They entertain audiences globally, offering an escape from everyday life by creating an alternate reality. Additionally, cinema has the power to alter individuals' mindsets and help establish new cultural, social, and political values. Indian cinema has long been a significant part of Indian culture, impacting society and individual lives in various ways. Movies influence people's fashion choices, speech, and social behaviour, both directly and indirectly. Over time, Indian cinema has evolved from traditional mythological films to "Bollywoodized" adaptations of successful Hollywood movies. In the 1970s, Indian cinema began to adopt a more socially conscious and politically focused approach.
