crown (a short story)

I woke up to a slight headache in the middle of the night. I looked out of the window. It was a full moon night. The stars were shining brilliantly as if beckoning me. The pain was getting worse and worse each second I sat on the bed. I touched the top of my head and felt a slight swelling. There was something on my head. I looked at the clock that hung in my room. It read 2:00 am. I gently got out of bed and tip-toed to the mirror in my room, careful of not waking the monster under my bed.  I couldn't believe the image that looked back at me. I had horns on my head. Antlers to be precise. I screamed silently.  "This isn't me," I said to myself as I held back my tears. "Who am I? I don't know who I am..." This couldn't be. I couldn't have grown horns. What would people say? I would become an outcast. My friends would desert me. My family would be embarrassed by me.  I bit my lip as a tear trickled down my cheek. I touched my antlers and smiled di...

reviewing kpop january 2022 comebacks

Reviewing and ranking January comebacks because there were too many debuts, solo debuts and yes, group comebacks. This month was definitely lots of fun and underwhelming at the same time. No song of the year worthy titles yet but my fingers are crossed for better songs in the upcoming months. I'll only be reviewing the title tracks and not the albums. These songs are not ranked because I became too lazy to do so. If you think some comebacks are missing, either I didn't bother listening to them or I hated them so much I didn't even bother mentioning them.  Disclaimer: There is no malicious intent through this blog and is moreover a namesake of entertainment and to engage kpop fans. Everyone has different tastes and you are allowed to disagree but please be respectful. And please feel free to leave your comments below. GOT - Step Back Undoubtedly, a letdown. With this kind of a revolutionary lineup, you would have thought SM would give them a good song, but nope. Seems like ...

my top 40 kpop songs of 2021

This list will include only title tracks and singles (to avoid confusion). There may also be songs as special mentions by the artists which will also include b-sides. Please note that I added as many artists as I could and I do not intend any hate to the artists who are mentioned and not mentioned. 2021 was a great year for kpop. These songs will probably never leave my playlist and will always give me nostalgia. Numerous groups and solo artist made their comebacks and debuts and carved their place in the music scene. It was extremely hard for me to rank the songs but here we are. 40. Echo - Eric Nam, Armaan Malik, KSHMR If 2021 gave us nothing else at least it gave us this earth-shattering collaboration with amazing vocals.  MV: 0/5 Song: 3/5 Lyrics: 1/5 Total: 4/5 Special Mentions: everything sucks, Butta Bomma 39. My Turn - CRAVITY A catchy song with good visuals. The boys show their flair as they blow up the stage with their coolness. MV: 2/5 Song: 3/5 Lyrics: 1/5 Total: 6/15 S...

Awards

    A prize or other marks of recognition given in an achievement of an award.  Imagine a few decades ago, when somebody, somewhere, someone did something amazing. Amazing enough to draw crowds, for people to support them, to look up to them as their role models. So, one day a rich man sipping on his morning tea probably thought "HOLY MOLY, THIS CHAP SHOULD GET AN AWARD." And lo and behold, the circus had begun. Very soon every single soul, dead or alive or undead wanted an award.  They carefully practised for the   speeches   they would give. In front of mirrors, while sleeping, while dressing up for work while doing their chores. Everywhere. So imagine, you get an award. For the first few minutes, you are happy. Happy enough to be tap dancing inside your head. Next, you'll think "I'll only tell the people who actually care about me,". And after that, the award sits on some shelf in your house and nobody even looks at it.  Why do people even want awar...
