Chungking Express: A Stop of Connections

Writing about Wong Kar-Wai’s work is something which is a pretty difficult task in itself because every frame seems like a beautiful painting and you don’t know from where to start and where to stop but while watching Chungking Express there was a constant sense of discomfort because I expected the story to tell me more about the characters. But if we observe carefully, a lot of shots have been composed in such a way that it makes the audience a part of the crowd or someone who is trying to peep into the lives of the characters. Though both the stories lack a certain kind of depth which we people are habitual of seeing in the movies the beauty here is the ‘Midnight Express'. Let’s dive deep into the Hong Kong of 1940s.

He charts the rise of the Chalukyas, the South's first empire and ends with the incredible powerhouse that the Cholas from Tamilakam were.In this discussion, Shoaib and Anirudh discuss why elephants were weapons of mass destruction in medieval Deccani warfare, what happened to the Jains of South India and why India's incredible diversity in history is ignored for a one-size-fits all, Delhi-centric approach.

We haven't been taught to write

We've always been told to write. In school it was "write your answers" or "write an essay". Later, it was "write a thesis" or "write an argument". Even later, "write a review/blog/book/opinion piece". We've always been told to write, but we haven't been taught to write.
