If you have clicked on the link than I'm sure you know this character otherwise you would have ignored him like Zoya did.

Heyy I'm Ashutosh, and you're here because there's a character you can't possibly ignore. I'm talking about none other than Kundun,

What should I say Kashi, Banaras, Varanasi or Sukoon, the Land of ghat, culture. A land that's not only famous for its breathtaking ghats but also for its vibrant culture that's known across the globe. And let me tell you, just as those ghats have left an indelible mark on the world, the people of Kashi have left an equally lasting impression on me. And in the heart of this very place resides our protagonist, Kundun, brought to life by the Dhanush.

The first 15 minutes of this movie makes us deeply remember our sweet 90s Love story, our old nostalgic school life, riding cycle and writing love letter and when giving greeting card to our schools sweetheart were not considered cringe, and most the line between love and lust was crystal clear, like a boundary etched in stone.

To me kundun is not a fictional character but a real person who will be remembered a long way not because of his Romeo ranjhaana personality but because of his realness and human touch,

He isn't just a figment of someone's imagination. He represents the spirit of an entire society, reflection of our very own hopes, dreams, and complexities. Kundun isn't a typical Bollywood hero, 

He isn't some sharp-written alpha male character who's always got it together. Oh, no. He's a flawed human being like us who makes mistakes, who isn't afraid to show his vulnerable side, and who knows what it's like to have his self-respect crushed by his crush. Love can make us do crazy things, and Kundun is proof of that.

we remember Kundun because the masses connect with him, because they focused and presented him as a normal person rather than a hero

okay? Don't get me wrong I'm not saying cutting wrist to impress girlfriends and stalking her is an option, I'm saying that all this exist in our society and kundun is a example taken from our society

Kundun's story is a reflection of that reality. I mean, who among us hasn't experienced that overwhelming feeling for someone in school or college? We all have our own Zoyas, don't we? Those memories of our past, our own personal Zoya's memories, make us blush uncontrollably when we watch the movie.

But Perhaps no one from us had did something crazy of that level, what Kundan did in this movie,

Life has consequences, and what I love about Kundun is that he owns up to them. Sure, he loved Zoya with all his heart

But when tragedy struck with Jasjeet, he couldn't forgive himself. That iconic scene where Kundun sits on the beach, haunted by a stranger's words, sends shivers down my spine. "Whose blood stains is on your hands?" as if he was peering into Kundun's very soul. It's a moment of reckoning, and it hits you right in the gut

look kundun had no obligation to make everything right but still he fight for jasjeet political party and however zoya I have to say for the fist time Sonam Kapoor played a character so well that I start hating her, 

I mean was only kundun was responsible for jasjeet death? from my view zoya was equally responsible

she lied about his religion and brought him to Banaras and that's how she put him to danger too and after everything she played the saint. It's easy to put all the blame on someone who is not willing to defend themselves, isn't it?

I recently stumbled upon a famous YouTuber's video discussing Raanjhana, and she raised an interesting point. She argued that Zoya slapped Kundun multiple times, yet we failed to see it for what it was. But when Kabir Singh slapped Preeti, oh boy, we were up in arms.

Kabir Singhwas a character known for his deeply problematic behavior. His possessiveness, aggression, and inability to take no for an answer are alarming. Kabir’s actions, especially his violent outbursts and attempts to control Preeti, reflect a toxic and unhealthy portrayal of love. His treatment of Preeti is nothing short of abusive. He slaps her, forces himself on her, and makes decisions for her without considering her feelings or autonomy. Kabir’s obsessive and destructive love is glorified in the movie, sending a dangerous message that such behavior is acceptable in the name of love. Despite his toxic actions, many viewers empathized with Kabir and romanticized his intense love, which is wrong. which actually toxic

Similarly, in Animal, Ranvijay, treats his wife, Geetanjali, with a mixture of affection and dominance. His gangster lifestyle brings turmoil to their relationship, and his actions often put her in difficult and dangerous situations. Ranvijay’s character is complex, but his domineering and sometimes violent behavior towards Geetanjali portrays a troubled and oppressive dynamic. He is deeply involved in a violent world, and his actions reflect the chaos and danger of his life, often leaving Geetanjali in a vulnerable position. This relationship dynamic, while portrayed with depth, still glorifies a form of toxic masculinity and control over women.

In contrast, Kundan despite his flaws, never crosses into the same territory. He may be obsessive and misguided in his love for Zoya, but he does not resort to the same level of violence or control. He tries to understand Zoya’s choices and even helps her be with someone else, showing a level of selflessness that Kabir Singh and Ranvijay lack.

But she said kundun was a toxic character and he couldn't hear no as answer and crashed his scooter in ganga and I don't agree with this

see everyone has their view and my view is different he might be complex character  but he was not toxic, because toxic people don't go well along with their partner as well as with to let her live with someone else

A toxic person doesn't convince his crush father to let her marry someone else ( Even I did the something similar for my zoya too not to his father ofcourse, Hahaha) and they certainly don't let their partners go freely into the arms of another. A toxic people doesn't work 9 years as servant in absence of his crush in her house, A toxic person doesn't accept his fault and help her 

And let's not forget, that Kundun knew his days were numbered when he know that he would be killed in the political rally speech. Yet, he didn't hesitate to make the ultimate sacrifice for love. 

I know it's  just a movie, but I can't help but feel that Kundun didn't get what he deserved in the end. Even stone cold Zoya underwent a transformation, witnessing Kundun's unwavering love. But it was only his childhood friend Murari who saw the pain he endured, begging him to just rest in peace. "Die, Pandit, why endure so much pain? Just let die in peace,"

Because there is a limit to doing sacrifices and maybe kundun didn't have anything left to give to zoya, maybe that's why he chose to sacrifice himself

Raanihanaa has a beautiful ending that evokes various different and subjective thoughts. In the movie, we saw that Bindiya had been in love with Kundan since childhood, praying for him, but Kundan never accepted her love. When Kundan was on his deathbed, Bindiya came to see him, and as soon as she touched him, Kundan spat blood from his mouth. He could have died instantly there at that point, but his destiny was written for Zoya. He eventually dies in Zoya's arms. This shows us that one is born, lives, and dies for the one with whom their destiny is written, and no one can change this. Raanjhanaa is not just a movie ; it's a роеtry.

Maybe in a some other universe someone will pray for kundun and realize his love for zoya

In many ways, we are all Kundan in our lives. We all have that one person, our Zoya, whom we loved deeply but lost due to circumstances beyond our control. Our lives might have taken different turns if that love had been reciprocated. We dream of a life where we could have been happier with them by our side, but life has its own plans. What’s gone is gone, and sometimes we need to let go.

However, amidst the loss, we should not overlook Bindiya in our lives. The one who has always been there, loving us silently, praying for us, and hoping for our happiness. We often ignore them while chasing our Zoya, but in reality, they are the ones who can bring true joy and fulfillment to our lives. I wish for all of us to find our Bindiya, the one who has been overlooked but holds the potential to make our lives complete.

Remember, true love isn’t about grand gestures and dramatic sacrifices. It’s about understanding, respect, and the willingness to be there for each other, just like Kundan’s silent but profound love. Let’s cherish those who cherish us and strive to find the happiness that we truly deserve.

 And if then we can atleast say,

"Mere seene ki Aag yaa toh mujhe zinda kar sakti thi ya fir Mujhe Mar sakti thi,

Par Saala ab uthe kaun , kaun phir se mehnat kare dil lagane ko , dil tudwane ko,

Abe koi toh aawaz de ke rok lo, ye jo ladki murda si aanke liye baithi he bagal me ,

"Aaj bhi Haan bol de toh mahadev ki kasam wapas aa jayenge" par nai ab saala mood nahi ,aankhe moond lene mehi sukh hai.. so jane me hi bhali he ,

Par uthenge kisi din ussi ganga kinare damru bajane ko unhi banaras k galiyo me doud jane ko kisi Zoya ke ishq me phir se padh jaane ko..!!"

Now it’s like that old heartbreak you thought you moved on from suddenly shows up again uninvited, loud, and real. Dhanush is back, but not as our sweet, lovestruck Kundan. This time he’s Shankar rough, fiery, straight outta Banaras and ready to burn down Delhi for love. He’s not here to win hearts, he’s here to crash headfirst into love and leave chaos behind. And Kriti Sanon as Mukti? She’s that girl who makes you believe she’s your forever… and then just rips it away like it was nothing.

And guess what? Rahman’s back on the music. You already know that means pure emotion. His tunes don’t just play they hit, straight in the chest. This isn’t some soft sequel to Raanjhana . It’s louder, madder, messier. It’s like Raanjhana wild cousin who doesn’t care about rules.

It’s dropping November 28, and honestly? This doesn’t feel like just another movie. It feels like something you’ll carry with you whether you love it or it breaks you.

If you have journeyed with me thus far, do share your favorite dialogue from Raanjhana and offer your thoughts on whether "Tere Ishq Me" will soar to the lofty expectations set by Raanjhana or will it stumble and falter under the weight of Raanjhana's enduring legacy? Only time will tell

My story is about stories, what we tell all kinds of Horror stories about demons and ghosts and stuff but no matter what a story's about there's only one thing that makes it really scary what's that your imagination

If you're really into a story you become part of it and you start to imagine what a horrible thing might be sneaking around the corner ready to pounce and just when you start to wonder what you do if you were the one facing the monster

 

It's your imagination that gets you into a story and unless you're very careful you might need your imagination to get you out

Brinda was everybody's favorite babysitter, A strange young woman

Her advertisement in the newspaper said for kids who hate babysitters

She was becoming every parent’s favorite babysitter. No one knew her secret. She claimed it to be just "magic". It was strange like she just knew when a parent wanted to babysit for them and when not. Also, she loved reading and collecting books more than anything

                                       ###                                                                                              

Turn the television volume down Ricky’s mom yelled as Ricky was taking the chips packet from cupboard

“You working tonight”, Ricky asked her mom

“I told you that earlier”, his mom replied

Suddenly the Home silence was disturber with doorbells

“Must be the babysitter”, Ricky’s mom said with positivity

“A babysitter seriously mom”, Ricky screamed with disappointment

“Mom I'm 17 years old”, Ricky yelled

 

Then what appears at the other side of the door to be a tall mystical personality covered in black coat answering the door!

The black hood of the cloak is pulled down and reveled to be a Quietly young beautiful girl with sparkling bright Hazel eyes.

Ricky's Mom is a bit nervous about her appearance at first. Then She gets a calm satisfying aura around her, as if she already knew her.

“Good evening this winter”, she introduced herself

“I'm Brinda”, she replied

Ricky’s mom asks Brinda, with a smile since she's been highly recommended by all the parents, she asks her what her secret is.

Brinda says "Imagination".

where's Ricky Brinda asked as ran inside the house strangely

“If there's any chance you could get him to turn off the television”, Ricky’s mom said with hope to Brinda

“Don't worry I brought some books”, Brinda said pointing to the deep black bag in which she had brought few hard thick books

Please turn good Ricky’s mom said looking at Ricky and waved him a goodbye and left the main door leaving Brinda and Ricky along for the rest of the night

                                                                                                                ###

 

“You”, Brinda said to Ricky as walking slowly towards him

As seeing Ricky had no interest in talking, she changes his direction from him to the television

She stood in front of Ricky and television and started to make strange faces and chanting something

“Hey move”, Ricky shouted

“It's time to get to know each other”, Brinda said in deep clam voice

Hey I really like that drawing on your shirt Brinda said pointing towards the print on Ricky t-shirt and asked “what does it mean”

“It's a metalbender”, Ricky said casually

It was a long sword in between of a pair of bright blue wings Ricky explained and suddenly said “Hey I don't want to get to know you I don't need a babysitter”

Wow! you must be extraordinarily amazingly rich Brinda said while dancing in the room and ignoring what Ricky has just said

“Yeah, I am”, Ricky said with proud

“So, keep out of my way”, Ricky said as turning is head uncomfortably to watch television

“I'm afraid that's not going to happen here”, Brinda said and snatched the remote from Ricky’s hand

“Hey”, Ricky shouted with anger

“We are going to read some books”, Brinda said this Ricky tried to snatch the remote back from Brinda’s hand but surprisal the remote disappear from her hands into thin air

“How did you do that”, Ricky asked in surprise

“I'll tell you what, you read a book for a few minutes and I'll leave you alone the rest of the night”, Brinda said with evil smile

“Deal?”, Brinda asked strangely

“How many minutes”, Ricky demanded to get of this situation

“Oh, I don't know let's say five minutes”, Brinda said smugly

“Then I can watch TV all I want”, Ricky asked with surprised

“That's what make you happy Kid”, Brinda replied

“You're the strangest”, Ricky said with confusion

By saying so Brinda started removing all the books from his bag and placing it on the table

With self-doubt Ricky selected a book from the many and started to read one which titled as the dark nights in his mind

“Aloud please I like to hear them”, Brinda said angrily

Ricky got into terror hearing Brinda voice, the smoothness in her voice was completely and now a was replaced with ……. terror

So, he begins to read a with struggle and fear Ricky started to read not moving his eyes from the book

 

“It was late on the dark moonless night

as a wild storm raged across the Moors

the hideous witch flew closer to the”

 

As he read those lines from the book the lights started to blink rapidly and the room started to shake as a storm with gust of smoke was approaching towards the room, but till now Ricky was too much lost in the book to notice this in his surroundings, he kept reading

Watching all of this Brinda had a board smile on his faces as, she knew it had started and if she is getting what she wants

“Lonely cottage swooped down and banged on the door”

  Ricky read aloud from the book 

As he read this there was a strong bang on his main door, it was too loud that it disturbed Ricky and he finally notice what was happening around him

 when he realized what was happening, he screamed in terror” What was that”

“Don't stop now”, Brinda said with evil smile

“This one's boring”, Ricky said and threw the book in fear

“You only read one sentence”, Brinda said with disappointment

“I can tell believe me I know”, Ricky said

“Well, it's not like TV no you have to give yourself a chance to get into the story use your imagination”, Brinda said

“Yeah, yeah hmm”, Ricky said and took another book and said “This could be good”, Ricky said

“Good I like that one a lot”, Brinda said in joy

As Ricky took the book, he opened it and started reading from the middle portion

“Hey Hey Hey Hey start at the beginning”, Brinda warned him with tension in her eyes

“Why I'm not going to finish it anyways”, Ricky replied and ignore what she has just said

 

“The stone walls echoed with the clash of barbs and cries of agony as battles raged the courtyard when crimson with the blood of fallen warriors yet now all was silent all was still as if the very memory of these dreadful events continues to haunt them bell”

 

As yet again Ricky was so lost in his reading that he didn’t paid attention what was happening in his surrounding from the back window a hand with war marks on it, nails bigger than fingers and hairs all over them was approaching him, as he was yet reading, he got stooped at it as he was not able to spell difficult the word,

Watching this Brinda hurriedly pronounced the word with happiness

“Melik”

“Oh yeah”, Ricky said and closed the book and replied this one's lousy too

As soon as the book was closed the hand that was emerging towards him vanished outside the window

“Whatttttttt Brinda”, said with anger and stood up

“One too many words”, Ricky said with frustration

“No once you start a book you really should finish it”, Brinda said strangely, it seemed like a warning to Ricky

“Yeah sure”, Ricky exhaled that’s all-lousy babysitter would say so

As soon as Ricky said this in disappointment his vision fell on a mysterious dark golden book covered in red velvet strips and resembles like blood droplets

“What's this”, Ricky said picking it up with excitement

“Nope not that”, Brinda snatched the book from Ricky hands hurriedly

“What do you mean I thought you wanted me to read”, Ricky said with disappointment and confused

“You're not ready for this one yet all”, this was all Brinda could say with mysteries grin

“Right forget it”, Ricky said and left the couch and started walking out of the room

“Where are you going” Brinda shouted

“I'm not reading anymore of your stupid books”, Ricky said laugh

“I wouldn't go out there if I were you”, Brinda warned Ricky with sparkling eyes

“Good thing you're not me” was all that Ricky could say, without understand what she meant and slammed the door closed

Brinda stared laughing and opened that book and read a word cheerfully

Ricky was walking to his room leaving Brinda and his stupid stories book in the hall, he heard some footsteps approaching towards him, he ignored them thinking it’s probably Brinda but he was too irrigated for her and bother not to look and ignore her as much as he can

                                                                                                ###

He opened his room door and hopped on his bed and started to play with his mobile

He was now too irrigated, and then he saw a shadow luring to his room and he thought Brinda is here again

Hearing the presence still there, he looks up and sees it's not Brinda, but a medieval knight in shimmering dark armor. The knight is wielding a longsword and with a single strike he attacked Ricky

Ricky was now too surprised to react, he screamed and jumped from his bed in fear, to avoid the strike of the sword, as soon the sword hit the bead, all the room shivered and agony,

Ricky ran screaming from the room and closed the door with struggle with the motivation to trap the mysterious armor man in the room

he ran towards the hall to get help from Brinda, she was in the Mainway to the hall when he noticed a man/ a soul/ a creepy Ghost or whatever it was, Ricky couldn’t understand

A mysterious identity with long hair wearing a deep black cape to cover his all body except his face and hands, this the same hand that was approving from the window when he reading that book

His face was melted like candle and skin shredded like old tree trunk

Ricky escaped from him too and ran with all his strengths towards the hall

He was too scared to understand what was happening who are these people and why are they here and why after him

As soon as he entered the hall, he screamed “Brinda” and seeing her he took a relief breath

she was tearing the pages from the book and throwing them in the burring chimney

He panicked to tell what he had seen and before he could say anything Brinda interrupted him and said without looking at him

“There's someone hiding in your bedroom and a ghost in the hallway I know” Brinda laughed don't worry

Ricky was till in terror, and he rushed to the other doors and closed them and pushed the chair to block it

“It's just your imagination” Brinda said while burring the pages

“They are not imagination they're real”, Ricky said with terror in his voice

“You had no idea what you were reading did you”, Brinda exclaimed with smile

Ricky was now confused, Brinda seemed different, she didn’t have that evil grin anymore but was smiling now being too polite and nice, but there were others things in the house that were more disturbing in the house rather than sudden Brinda’s changed attitude

“Look at the stupid books there's”, Ricky said

But Brinda stopped him in-between “Don't you see they came from books now if you help me, you get rid of books by burning them”

Soon Ricky understood that he has read the stories a little bit each figure or creature in it comes to life, he cried in fear he saw Brinda was burning the books so he asked “We burned the books and they go away?”, Ricky asked confused with some relief

“Exactly”, Brinda said with joy

Then Ricky started burning all the books at an immense pace to get rid of the situation

As he was helping Brinda burring books, someone nocked at the door

Suddenly someone is knocking on the living room door, which is bolted shut with a chair.

And then Ricky couldn’t trust his ears, to be surprised it was Brinda’s voice from the other side, now Ricky was too stressed and afraid unable to understand what was happening

Brinda's voice is heard coming from the other side telling him “NOT to listen to her”

Soothe knocking on the door turned in the slamming and the door pushed opened with a bang

it was Brinda!!!!!

Ricky then realizes that if she is Brinda who rushed inn, then who is the other person?

In a witch like voice the other Brinda screams from behind "what do you think! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha uses your imagination".

Suddenly the person who looks like Brinda has a hideous witches face now. Ricky is terrified and screams.

Brinda said “That she was afraid that this was going to happen. It turns out she’s a young witch with an overactive imagination”. So, both the benevolent and malevolent manifestations of her imagination literally come to life when they are read about.

“So, they must be contained within books”. Brinda takes Ricky by the hand and they ran and hide inside the kitchen. Then they bolt it shut by pushing a table in the way. Brinda said “That this will hold them off for the time being”.

Now Brinda was laughing with the same mystic grim, now Ricky was sure she’s the real one.

                                                                                                ###

He demands answers from her, what was going on here, who are they, why are they after me, who is she

“Imagination I was afraid this was going to”, Brinda said with evil grin

“What do you mean for now make it go away”, Ricky screamed crying

Brinda started laughing and said “I sorry can't”

“You are the one who read half the stories you have to finish them but since you and the witch burned my books, now you can make them go away,”

And then she removed the red velvet book,

Brinda warned Ricky” You’re going to have to use your imagination if you don't want to end up being dinner what do I do”

“Oh, I'd finish off the story fast Brinda, But the books gone” Ricky said crying

“Will then make it up make it up sure go for it it's your story now”, Brinda exclaimed

With no other option Ricky started thing with terror

Without enthusiasm Ricky says "Okay, some weird stuff happened with Ricky and Brinda then it went away. Then they lived happily ever after the end.

And then there was complete silence in the room

As soon as Brinda heard those phrases she started laughing loudly

“It didn't work, Ricky cried

“Sorry, that's cheating you're going to have to be better than that”, Brinda said and kept laughing

“Cheating how can I achieve I don't even know what I'm doing” Ricky screamed

As this moment Ricky was scared and clueless, he didn’t know what was happening he just wanted everything to go back to normal and escape this situation

As they were taking Brinda pulled Ricky and screamed “Heyyy, watch out” from the door and at the exact time a sword pierced the door in a single bow

“When that happened, how did you know that, was all that” Ricky said shivering to Brinda

Ricky was terrified how could Brinda knew that exactly at that moment the knight would attack, how could she possible saved me, was it a coincidence or mere luck

who is she, who are you, Brinda?

As from the other side the crying voice of the Witch was also echoing, which disturbed Ricky’s internal conflict

He cried why these two creatures are after him

“Of course, it was going to happen you have gotten stories all mixed up”, Brinda reminded him

“You have started the story and left them incomplete, and I warned you about it” Brinda said

 

As they were talking the armor man broke the door and entered the kitchen and he was not alone, the Witch floated behind him

Brinda pulled Ricky and ran towards the storage and sealed the door

“Hey I can't see anything”, Ricky said in the darkness as that were in the storage room

“It's right above your head”, Brinda replied and Ricky switched on the bulb button

How could possible she knows where the lights are? Ricky begins to wonder

looking Ricky’s condition scared and confused Brinda laughed and said “This is getting fun”

Brinda smiles and is excited for some reason.

“Now what happens” Brinda asked Ricky

“How should I know”, Ricky shouted in pain

“Because it's your story silly what happens” now Brinda laughed

“Okay”, Ricky said and continued the story

 

"They ran down to the basement, where he kept his Uzi (a type of machine gun) and special magical spells. One he kept just in case any knights, witches and ghosts appear. And they killed them both with this Uzi and spells”, Nothing happens again,

As Ricky said the above lines there was complete silence, for a minute or two

Ricky smiled with joy assuming that this dark never-ending night have finally came to end

But in the next second they both heard a loud bang on the door behind, Ricky’s joy completely vanished

“Why are they still here what's wrong with that it's a good ending”, Ricky screamed in terror

“Yeah, maybe for some silly TV show or something but it doesn't make sense in this story”, Brinda laughed

Ricky notices that Brinda is carrying that certain book everywhere with her and she keeps peeking at it. He suspects she knows what will happen and the ending is in it. So, he asks her for the book. She tells him the book is empty but he thinks she knows anyways.

“The endings in that book aren’t it”, Ricky screamed at her

“No there's nothing in this book”, Brinda said with seriousness

“Then why are you dragging it around why do you keep peeking at it when you don't think I'm looking”, Ricky said with anger in his voice

“Give it to me”, Ricky screamed and tried to snatch it from Brinda’s hands

But Brinda was too fast and countered Ricky’s move and again started laughing

“You really think you're ready for this”, Brinda asked him with seriousness and as a warning

“Yes, let me have it”, Ricky said in single breath

“Okay have fun”, Brinda handed it to him with evil smile

Ricky took the book and started sliding its papers, but he was assumed when he saw that pages were empty, plain nothing in it, the whole book was blank, he was confused now

“I don't get it what's a big deal”, he said and look to glance at Brinda but when he saw his surrounding, he gasped “Ohhhhh”

 

He was not in the basement of his storeroom, he panicked and looked all over, all he was and assumed was in a dark basement which appears to be of some old castle

All the bricked stone log walls resembled of a vintage castle of the medieval age with fire burning at places to provide light in the dark castle

Now he was confused and afraid, he didn’t know what was happening to him, He stared blankly for several seconds. Unable to believe his eyes or he was no longer in the comfortable suburban house but in the dank crypt of an ancient castle the dang crypt of an ancient castle with walls as ascended into the darkness above unskilled

He then went to scam the book again just to find that it was not blank anymore, there was something written on it, it reads

“I don't get it what's the big deal he……Ricky”, said then Ricky's voice trailed off

He examined and realized that this is what he has just said and now it was incripted in the book,

He was not able to believe what his eyes were seeing, he couldn’t utter a sing word

And suddenly he notices he was not alone he heard someone’s footsteps

Suddenly, he heard loud sound of footsteps of clanking metal approaching through the dark

He was stressed and feared with sweat when he saw the medieval knight from his house has summon from the darkness of castle approaching towards him

Sound of his footsteps kept increasing and soon he removed his long shinning sword and within seconds he started running towards Ricky with full strength, chopping everything in his way

Ricky saw this and soon started running for his live and secretary hoping that somehow Brinda would save him, and in that huddle, he almost loses grip of the book, but managed to recover it and started running again and somehow discovering the hidden parts of the castle

He tried to run and hide in the castle as the knight was about to strike him, and then the knight stroked his sword Infront of him and dropped his sword on the ground in front of Ricky

Ricky was shocked to see this, he thought the knight was after him but now he bowed in front of him as if he was paying him respect,

He sensed danger and in confusion and to protect him from the knight he took up his sword and as soon as he took it in his hands the knight amor fell in pieces and to add the terror, the amor was empty as the amor fell with loud noise, disturbing the castles peace

Ricky examined the sword and saw some writing on it, he read it out

Whosoever holds this almighty longsword is swore to protect the tomb of his beloved king and his kingdom

It didn’t take Ricky much time to find out that the knight was not here to harm him, he was here to protect the tomb of his beloved king, and now he was the one hold the sword, so he had to complete the knight’s task

The thing that stuck Ricky was that if the knight was here not to harm him, then who was? and from whom the knight was protecting the tomb, who is the evil in this castle

Suddenly a voice calls out from the dark, Ricky immortally took his sword in front of him to protect him from the source of the voice

Suddenly, a voice calls out from behind

Ricky saw a young girl in medieval clothing holding a big lit candle.

She sadly tells Ricky that she is lost, and she cannot find her way home. So, she wants him to help her.

Ricky was surprised to see a young gorgeous girl dressed medieval cloth in the castle, he wondered how could it be that a girl from so long ago could be there right now.

She was so beautiful that Ricky was mesmerized and felt shy Infront of her beauty, for almost he forgets whatever happened earlier that night and focused on the gorgeous face, his heart was pounding at a faster pace now

She asks him if he can put the book down and help her find her way home.

Ricky was now in a bit relief to find someone in the castle, at least he was not alone now, Frustrated Ricky slams the book shut and said “He has no idea how to get home either, and if he did, he would have already escaped this rusty castle”

It was strange and he was completely alone and after the medieval knight disappears and then suddenly a young girl shows up asking his help, even though all this felt too good to be true after everything that have happened

Ricky them stared at the young girl with some thoughts, she seemed out of place like from another time.

Then he carefully looks at her as she lowers her head. Ricky screamed with angry, and says "Or from another story! You're not a girl."

As soon as Ricky screamed and pointed the sword at the young girl and warned her

The young girl transforms into the Witch who attacked him in the house.

She yells at Ricky “Put down the book”, laughing and cackling at him. Before she can approach him,

Ricky picks up the long sword and slices her right across the chest. The Witch screams in agony with green slime oozing from her wound and turned into transforms into an old grumpy King.

Ricky screams in horrified shock

The old grumpy King addresses himself as the Kings of Kings, emperor of emperors the almighty named as Klaus,

He praised Ricky with his bravery and thanked him and told him that he was placed under a spell cast by an evil witch. His spirit was cursed to wander the earth forever. Ever since than his spirit was wandering in a suit of armor to find someone brave to help defeat the witch and save the King Tomb.

Ricky now bows before the king with utmost respect and offers the sword, as he didn’t think what else to do in such situation

Suddenly, Ricky opens his eyes and founds himself back in his home, while Brinda exclaimed what a story

Before Ricky could ask her, anything or understand it the house door opened widely and Ricky's Mom returned

She saw Ricky holding a book and was happy and surprised to see Ricky with it

Brinda eventually points out that the book on Ricky's lap, "The Dark Tomb,” story written by Ricky winters, his name on it.

Ricky is shocked and couldn’t understand what was happening things were happenings so fast paced he could spot a difference better what is reality and imaginations desperately he asks Brinda “If it really happened”.

She smiles hinting yes and says “That it's only a story”.

Ricky stood there still as if he was still in shock

Before heading home, Brinda is asked by Ricky's Mom what she owes her. Holding onto her new book, she smiles and says she's already been paid, telling Ricky's mother to call her anytime.

 

Ending

As the story is ending, Ricky searched all over the library but he never found another copy of "The Dark Tomb" By. Ricky Winter or any of Brinda's other books because they were first and only editions

What The sharpest minds on Wall Street predicted for S&P500 In 2022

Goldman Sachs - 5,100

Wells Fargo - 5,200

JP Morgan - 5,050

And guess where it Finished ? at 3,839

Not one close to the experts predictions

The same have happened with Indian markets as the experts predicted that the bull run that started after covid, Will continue forever but you already know what happened

That’s why I say, Pay zero attention to forecasters. ZERO !!

 

One of the worst mistake people can do is follow institutional research to make investment decisions

 

 

Firstly Understand that nobody can predict the market

 

There are millions of variables that can change on an everyday basis, It is impossible for a human, or even for an AI to predict the future

 

on the other hand it is human tendency to seek comfort and the illusion that the future can be predicted gives this comfort, I’m no exception too

 

People spend hours reading these reports from Goldman, JP Morgan, Macquarie, and what not thinking that they are doing something productive, at least I used to do that in my early years

Not just this, there is another sinister angle to stock market Profits.

You should know that in the stock market, one person's profits come from another person's loss

Institutions make a large part of their money from retail losses

Hence, it is in their interest to ensure that retail investors keep losing

So on most occasions, when institutions are telling you to buy, they are likely selling And when they 

are telling you to sell, they are likely buying

then what's the solution then?

 

Should we do the opposite of what they are telling us to do?

Of course No!

 

 

The best course of action is to IGNORE THEM!!

 

Let the sheep read all those reports and spend countless hours googling what is a certain investment bank saying, You just build a system with high risk reward and follow it religiously

Let's face it - we've got all done that. Some of us still do it and I don't blame them.

Tempting and logical right? If excellent news comes out a few stock, the stock ought to logically go up. however here's the issue regarding the exchange - it always will the alternative of what the bulk expects. Here's why shopping for a stock supported excellent news (or commercialism it when dangerous news comes out) isn't a good plan -

News is nearly perpetually late

Here's however it works - news which will materially have an effect on the stock worth of an organization is 1st known to insiders and establishments (because they need connections with insiders). Later on, once the stock has already created its move, the news comes bent on the general public. The public, in hopes of creating a fast buck, lands up buying/selling the share, solely to search out out that they were at bay.

Here's associate example:

HDFC Bank Merger

News came out that HDFC Bank was aiming to merge with HDFC Ltd.

Retail investors hurried to shop for the shares of 1 of India's largest banks. But what happened once that? The stock fell by over twenty fifth within the next few weeks, despite the news being absolutely taken by most.

Another purpose to notice was that the stock had surged by thirty third within the weeks preceding the news announcement. trading does not happen huh?
