work crushes
it happened the moment i laid eyes on her.. on my very first day at work, no less.. then for a while it didn't seem all that possible, but maybe in keeping with the saying that when you want something badly enough it happens, events and circumstances suddenly fell into place. however it happened, it happened, and she fell for me too. next thing we knew, the impossible had become possible. from that day on i never got her out of my head, i never put anyone ahead of her, i never looked at another woman the way i looked at her, couldn't look at one that way. and to be fair, she feels the same things for me too. we're not two people working at the same place anymore, but in the same home, with our little girl, sometimes cheerful, sometimes wistful, sometimes hugging, sometimes arguing, but never being disrespectful, and even when we get hurt with each other now and then, we go on living, knowing how to make it up to one another.

antilia (building)
antilia is a private residence in the south mumbai district of mumbai, india, notable for its stature as one of the most valuable private homes in the world. named after the mythical island in the atlantic, antilia is a 27-story skyscraper with a height exceeding 170 meters (560 feet). the building is owned by mukesh ambani, the chairman of reliance industries, one of india's largest conglomerates.
designed by the chicago-based architects perkins and will, with construction managed by the australian company leighton holdings, antilia is distinguished by its unique design inspired by the lotus and the sun. the structure features a high degree of customization and includes extraordinary elements such as a multi-story garage capable of holding 168 cars, three helipads, gardens, a temple, guest suites, health level with fitness facilities, and an ice room infused with artificial snow.
antilia employs a construction philosophy that adheres to the principles of vaastu shastra, a traditional indian system akin to feng shui, ensuring that energy flows optimally throughout the towering structure. its design incorporates a series of staggered double-story garden floors intended to sustain the integration of nature even at soaring heights.
not just a marvel of luxury, antilia is also engineered to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8 on the richter scale, reflecting a blend of ultra-luxury with robust practicality. its construction and opulence have stirred a mix of admiration and controversy, representing a beacon of economic disparity yet remaining a hallmark of architectural innovation and personal wealth. image -

existentialism
existentialism is basically the idea that you're born first and figure out who you are later.
you aren't given a purpose or a personality that's already set in stone. you build yourself through the choices you make.
and that's both the beautiful and terrifying part. there's no instruction manual, no predetermined path, and nobody else to blame for how you choose to live.
even the smallest decisions, like the ones you make while staring at your cold coffee, can shape who you become.
life doesn't come with a meaning. you have to create one yourself. -
leviathan (2014 film)
a movie about what happens when one ordinary person runs into institutions much bigger than himself.
the state, the church, money, bureaucracy, local power, all of them slowly become parts of the same machine.
what makes it hit so hard is that nobody needs to be a cartoon villain.
the system itself is enough.
the title could not be more appropriate.
sometimes the monster is not a person.
it is everything around you working exactly as designed. image -

you never meet anyone by accident. as jung said, there are no coincidences, only resonance.
the soul is like an invisible radio transmitter, constantly sending out signals. whatever frequency you vibrate at, you attract people who exist on that same frequency.
everyone who enters your life carries some kind of meaning. some brighten your day like a warm cup of coffee arriving at your door in the quiet of the morning. some irritate you like a nail driven into your skin, yet teach you how to remain standing. some pass by like silent shadows, barely noticed, only to spark a sudden realization in the middle of the night. others arrive like a bursting balloon, shaking you deeply but never leaving before awakening your strength.
years later, you realize that every lesson was the flower of a seed planted in your soul long ago.
there are no coincidences. every encounter is a perfect resonance between your frequency and the silent comedy, drama, and melody of the universe. -

what doesn't kill you, more often than not, makes you wish it had. and only rarely does it make you stronger.

the photos taken with this are okay. but watching the videos taken with it is pure torture. the idea of filming the surroundings from inside the car is, yes, fantastic, but it shakes and moves around so much that it seriously causes nausea.
