"iiSuperWomanii" - Burnt out or too tired.....

I am sure all of us have heard of Superwoman. For the uninitiated (Where are you living guys???) she is a YouTube phenomenon who has taken the world by storm. She has hordes of crazy fans from USA to Timbuktu. She is based out of Toronto, Canada. She goes by the name of Lilly Singh and yes she is Indian. I came across her vlogs around 6 months back. I have goggled about her obsessively and wait for her videos to go online on YouTube.In fact Sharukh Khans daughter is a big fan of hers and he actually gave her a jacket which he wanted her to use for a show/video. Sadly she is not a big SRK fan (Can't imagine why)I would have died. Moving on....

I really love all of her vidoes especially the "types of" series that she puts on her channel. I am not a big fan of her "My parents react to this" series. If you are still reading this and have failed to go to YouTube then please do so. I would advise that you go watch her videos and come back else this might just go above your head in other words you won't get what I am talking about.

Now Lilly also does live shows which mostly consist of motivational talks, Stand-up comedy and the likes. She has recently started a world tour and now is almost concluding it. She toured India too and her show in Bangalore was in Whitefield. I love her for her videos more than anything else but here is where my problem starts.

 Lets begin with the "My parents react to this" set of videos. These are basically "Superwoman's" make believe parents reacting to different situations of life (like famous videos etc). My problem with these videos nowadays is that I find them to be very repetitive. Its like the same reactions. I can basically predict that this is what happens next. Next is the "types of" series. The last video was "What friends actually mean"...I did not find this one funny at all. I don't know, I generally watch her videos because I am on the floor clutching my stomach laughing. There are also live vlogs in which she talks about what is happening in her daily life. These used to be interesting, but lately all she talks about is how burnt out she is, how stressed she is and its getting hard to handle. Its like my inspiration is melting in front of me and that breaks my heart.

Lilly I know you will never ever read this or maybe you will, but I think you are too tired or the pressures of being the big phenomenon that you have become is getting to you. First the tour now the secret project. I am really happy for your success I truly am. Watching your videos has given me so much of positivity and have truly helped me in the darkest moments of my life. However, I really think you need to take a break and go back to being the "Lilly Singh - Superwoman" that I love. Please Please Please come back. You are truly missed.

The book of tomorrow - Cecelia Ahern

Image
This is my first book by Cecelia. I know that she is also the author of P.S I love you, but I have never read the book, just watched the movie (At that time I had a crush on Gerald Butler....he he he...At this rate I will know of books just because they have been made into movies with hot heroes). I liked the movie and cried buckets, but it never interested me enough to go and pick the book up. I came across this one because it was suggested to me by my library reading list and the blurb looked quite interesting. But after that I came across other interesting things to read and this book took a back seat. I recently finished reading it though and I liked it. It's not my all time favorite, but it did not make me feel like I totally wasted my time or money. This book has been marketed as a YA fiction. I am not really sure of the YA tag, because, it has a bit of obscene talk coming out of mouths of 16 year old children, but then again, maybe that is how this "generation...

Memory Man - David Baldacci - Unimpressed!!!!!

Image
This is the third book of David Baldacci that I have read. The other two books were from the Camel Club series. I fail to recall the names but I do know I Ioved them. When this book was released I wanted to read it. The book is a fast read, but there are some medical conditions that the protagonist suffers from which slows down the reading a bit. I at least found it a bit difficult to understand the condition completely. I knew what it was doing to him, but there were some aspects that were not clear. This books introduces us to "Amos Decker". Like the Camel Club, this is going to be a series (I think).Though this is a book that I did not really like if this is going to be a series I hope the rest of it will be good and enjoyable. This is the story of Amos Decker (obviously). He is a big towering guy who was a very promising football player. Unfortunately an injury in the field puts a stop to his career even before it has a chance to take off. Because it i...

The Ninth Life of Louis Drax (Book Review) - Good Read

Image
                                                              To be really honest I did not know that this book existed and I am not really surprised why. In ordinary circumstances, like say, I had come across this book in a bookstore, I might not have picked it up, unless of course it had a great discount or an attractive cover maybe. I would have thought "ennnn not my kind of book". So why you might ask did I even pick this up.  Well the answer is "Drum roooolllll" Jamie Dornan (Hearts, flowers, Swoon and I am back....I could not resist the picture). I knew Jamie Dornan from "The fall" which I started watching because of Gillian Anderson(the X-files for the people who live in the rocks). I fell in love with Jamie and the character. I know that makes me a psycho because he plays the bad guy. But I think the thin line that ...
