  • Swat 2017- movie review: 2 characters who gave me goosebumps.

    I haven’t done many movie reviews, except for the obligatory ones for extra credit during term-end exams in college—gotta boost that scorecard! Today, I want to share a brief opinion on a series that, in my view, is worth your time—SWAT. The first season was released in 2017, and it spans five seasons.

    The story revolves around a team of seven, led by the Commander. However, the main actor is the team leader or sergeant known as ‘HONDO,’ Daniel Harrelson. HONDO is a man who shoulders every responsibility, being accountable for his team, the state of Los Angeles, and his loved ones. Amidst the challenges, he strives to mend relationships within his broken family, navigate friendships, parenthood, and love life.

    The series unfolds with the team, facing risks and challenges as highly trained LAPD SWAT members, consistently finding solutions for the chaotic situations in Los Angeles. Sergeant Deacon, a family man and a decorated police officer, battles financial difficulties, putting his family at risk and working diligently to protect the state.

    Each team member faces personal challenges, yet they maintain composure, dedicating themselves to their work, risking their lives to save others. The series highlights themes of trust, unity, belongingness, love, and dedication. It emphasizes standing tall for what’s right, unwavering in the face of negativity.

    If you have the time, I highly recommend checking out this series. It’s a compelling narrative that explores the virtues of trust, unity, love, and dedication while portraying the relentless pursuit of justice by the LAPD SWAT team.

    When we were young, we didn’t have a TV, so we rarely got to watch it, let alone a TV series. Even when we did watch, it was from the CD player, as the villagers didn’t have a signal to connect or a place to subscribe to channels. The one channel I remember was Tom and Jerry. We would run to our neighbors’ places to watch it and sometimes even had to contend with the elders for the channel, as they were uninterested in watching it. We were teenagers back then. I vividly remember the joy and laughter we shared with our cousins and talked about it after the show.

    Gone are the days when we’d watch over three rupees dried Mattar and 50 paise sweets. We would quarrel about eating too much and too fast, not sharing with the others. We would also trick the younger ones into eating more than them—haha. Reminiscing about it gives me nostalgia. Thanks for this daily prompt topic.

  • Action movie

    If I didn’t need sleep, I would spend all that extra time watching dramas or action series— I’m a bit of an action movie buff, so that would be my go-to activity. Alternatively, I might spend time crocheting and experimenting with new styles on my own. I also enjoy reading novels and books. Gardening is another interest of mine, and I’d love to have a small garden for growing spices and herbs. And, of course, there might be moments where I just sit and scroll through my phone idly. Hehe!
