"A bland protagonist who somehow managed to become the face of an entire generation of book lovers. From his whiny demeanor to his questionable decision making. Harry Potter, I believe, is a prime example of why popularity doesn't always equate to quality. So let's start with his personality. Well, Harry essentially is a blank canvas. A character devoid of any real depth or complexity. He'...

"Like, I get Maleficent on a soul level. Like, she is the kind of petty I aspire to be. Like, I feel fomo, and I just feel bad. She feels fomo. She goes to the castle and, like, threatens to kill the princess. That's wonderful. Okay, wait. Wonderful is a stretch. Okay? I'm not. I'm not saying her actions were right. I'm just saying that I understand them on a soul level."

"The writing, the recording, the editing, all of it has become its own reward. I've stopped worrying about how long it takes or whether it'll be perfect. And now I focus on the practice itself. And that's where I find fulfillment. If you're like me, you might feel that pressure sometimes, especially when you're working towards something big."

"On the other hand, movies rely on visual music and performance to make an immediate impact. They are shorter and more direct, giving you a short story in just few hours. Personally, I prefer both. But according to me, we should give books equal value like movies because a line can completely change the whole scenario. One line of any book or novel hold that much of power."

"Books, while they give you the space to imagine and connect deeply with the characters, movies and shows bring stories to life. Visually, though, I will always lean a little more towards books. But adaptations, when done right, are such a gift to fans."

"Movies appeal to the social side of us, the part that loves sharing experiences, feeling emotions in a group, and seeing a director's vision brought to a life. So in the battle of books and movies, there's no clear winner.

"While movies deliver convenience and accessibility, books demand patience and introspection. Ultimately it's not about choosing one over the other, but appreciating what each brings to the table. Books give us the freedom to dream, while movies let us see dreams realized. Whether you lose yourself in pages or screens, the true winner is storytelling and us, the audience. Thank you."

"And today I am here to tell you why they deserve the crown in the battle between pages and screens. First, movies are a multi sensory experience. They don't just tell you a story, they show it. They play it. They make you feel it. A book might describe a fierce battle, but movies, they make you hear the clash of swords, see the sweat on a warrior's brow and feel the adrenaline of the ...
