Why Toxic is such a disappointing movie.
There’s a difference between a movie being ambitious and a movie trying too hard to look ambitious. Unfortunately, Toxic falls into the second category. With Yash at the centre, expectations were huge. The film promised a stylish gangster world, big action, larger-than-life moments and a character audiences would remember. What we get instead is a…

Never compare your life to anyone else.
Comparison assumes that human lives can be measured on the same scale. They cannot. Every person is shaped by a unique combination of experiences, values, struggles, talents, relationships, and aspirations. What fulfils one person may feel empty to another. What looks like success from the outside may be a sacrifice someone else would never choose…

Detachment: Learning to hold life gently.
As I grew older, I realized that life constantly tries to pull us in different directions. We become attached not only to people, but also to success, routines, expectations, achievements, and the version of life we imagined for ourselves.
