Starting A New Business? 7 Key Points To Keep In Mind.
The Danish web series Loving Adults, on Netflix, starts with a powerful fact—Almost all murders have something to do with love. Almost!
I am really impressed by the themes depicted in the web series nowadays. Most of the shows created are very relatable. The era we live in is complicated and confusing, and these series helps us explore the grim part of human relationships.
Our minds think beyond imagination, our actions are unpredictable, and we are ambiguous.
My article is inspired by the web series I saw recently, Loving Adults. The series opens with a disclaimer that reads in the start, “all the characters and events depicted are fictitious. Any resemblance to a person living or dead is purely coincidental”.
Similarly, the purpose behind writing this article too is to convey that my words are purely based on the web series and not on any real incident.

The Danish web series on Netflix, starts with a powerful fact, “Almost all murders have something to do with love. And it’s almost always about jealousy and passion.” Emphasis being on almost, and love.
Love has become more than a feeling, it has converted into craziness, stubbornness and obsession. And fictional depictions on different media mediums, lived stories and news around us have turned love into craziness. People don’t want to feel love, instead they want to control love.
The web series talks about a married couple with a 20-year-old son suffering from life-threatening illness, and the husband has an extra marital affair.
The story revolves around the same, and at the end it leads to a series of serious crimes. I understand that cheating is awful, but killing someone is a bigger crime.
Murder is a grave crime, far more serious in degree than cheating on a life partner.
People can’t accept rejection or losing to someone. Every day we witness certain bulletins with respect to this topic and sometimes the reasons are not justified.
Reading such topics is disturbing, but unfortunately this is the reality of life. As I mentioned earlier, our generation is really incomprehensible, and you can’t foresee what’s going on in one’s mind.
Jealousy has become very common. It is destroying lives daily. The web series were entertaining in the past, but today they have turned factual.
I really appreciate the mind of creators that through these web series they are helping us to become aware about the serious criminal and social issues of the society, as it says “prevention is better than cure”.

There are many mountains I need to climb just to be, just to live my life, just to have my say... because they are mountains you've built to oppress women.
Trigger Warning: This deals with various kinds of violence against women including rape, and may be triggering for survivors.
I haven’t climbed a literal mountain yet Was busy with the metaphorical ones – born a woman Fighting for the air that should have come free And I am one of the privileged ones, I realize that
Yet, if I get passionate, just like you do I will pay for it – with burden, shame, – and possibly a life to carry So, my mountains are the laws you overturn My mountains are the empty shelves where there should have been pills
When people picked my dadi to place her on the floor, the sheet on why she lay tore. The caretaker came to me and said, ‘Just because you touched her, one of the men carrying her lost his balance.’
The death of my grandmother shattered me. We shared a special bond – she made me feel like I was the best in the world, perfect in every respect.
Apart from losing a person who I loved, her death was also a rude awakening for me about the discrimination women face when it comes to performing the last rites of their loved ones.
On January 23 this year, I lost my 95 year old grandmother (dadi) Nirmala Devi to cardiac arrest. She was that one person who unabashedly praised me. The evening before her death she praised the tea I had made and said that I make better tea than my brother (my brother and I are always competing about who makes the best chai).
