Web series - "Delhi Crime" my review

I like good web series but am not a crazy fan of television to watch series after series. This might be a reason why I have just watched the series "Delhi Crime" almost two years after it released on Netflix!

I must say I really did love the attempt. It gave me a fresh perspective on many issues regarding this case. I was one more citizen watching with absolute shock as this case was reported on news channels in 2012 and supported fully the protests by fellow citizens. However, I realised how fast this case was actually solved by the police and against potentially how many difficulties. How could it be simple to track six rapists in a city of 17 million plus surrounding states from where most of the culprits were? How could the police have possibly prevented such crimes when the ratio of police to regular citizens is so low? 

The kind of political and social pressures while dealing with an emotionally draining crime was fascinating to know more about. The actors of course going by the ratings, had done a fantastic job and the series kept up the pace and involvement of the audience through all the episodes. Kudos to the director for the background research done and the extremely good presentation.

If you have not watched this, I highly recommend that you do. But before that do expect to continue to be shocked by this crime as that is never going to go away!  

Thank you 2020 and welcome 2021

Happy New Year everybody. Wishing you and yours good health, happiness and success in 2021.

I am as happy as anyone else to see 2020 go. But in all honesty I cannot say it was all bad. Don't get me wrong, 2020 had enough sorrows and created desperate situations for me as much as anyone else, however there were enough other 'firsts' that make me appreciate it as well. 

For one thing, and if nothing else, it gave me enough time to stop and think. To stop and slow down by force. That created new avenues to channel my energy and talents. Thus were born some new and long- pending ventures.

So, if we are alive today, having survived 2020, let's not complain too much. Let's take those experiences, the good, bad and ugly and take it all forward in 2021 to the best of our abilities. Let us focus on positivity in life and be useful to ourselves and others. That might be the single best and common goal for all mankind. 

All the best wishes for an excellent year people. Lots of love.
