  Killing Eve Dear Phoebe Waller-Bridge,           You have a beautiful mind. I wonder what is it like in there. How do you come up with such ideas? A female assassin and a female spy played by Jodi Comer and Sandra Oh respectively. Both are equally obsessed and fixated with each other. Two brilliant minds in a cat and mouse chase. Phoebe, every time I think I have figured you out, you successfully confuzzle me. Your writing is bizarre. It is unpredictable. Killing Eve is always a step ahead of the viewers.           Eve (played by Sandra Oh) is an MI5 British Intelligence agent stuck with a boring desk job. Her brilliance and caliber aren't used to the full extent in this particular cell. Her sharp observation and assassination obsession lands her a job in an MI6 spy cell.

Jennifer Lawrence as Aurora Lane, Chris Prattson as Jim Preston, and Laurence Fishburne as Gus. The Plot Dissection           A spaceship of 5,000 people is going to a new planet for colonization. All the people, i.e., the passengers, the crew, and the captain are kept in a hibernation pod. The journey from the earth to the new planet is about 120 years long. Hence, it is necessary to pause all metabolic processes and prevent aging. However, after 30 years of journey, there is a...

  Prophecy           Rick Riordan is a popular name among middle schools of the west. Therefore, it has quite a fan base in the east. Rick's domain is mythology. Greek mythology, Roman mythology, and Egyptian mythology. The Percy Jackson series explores the first one in great depth and the later part of the series explores the Roman. Finally, in the recently written Kane Chronicles,  Rick takes a dive into Egyptian Mythology. A detailed version about this is available in the first blog post - The Trials of Apollo.            Prophecy by Ellen Oh has nothing, nada, kuch nhi to do with Rick Riordan's book. So why mention him?!? The world is so focused on European and American mythologies, that they forget to look beyond the Asian cultures and into their origin. Prophecy is a stepping stone to the endless exploration of Asian mythology for the west. Ellen Oh wanted a hero that her daughters could relate with. Being an immi...
