Please let me borrow your Netflix account?
Ok. So. I have recently become obsessed with Doctor Who and I need a Netflix account to watch it on. I was wondering if someone could let me borrow theirs? Please?
What is your review of Netflix's original show 'Selection Day'?
At a meager 130 minutes of run-time, the first season of Selection Day is shorter than a T20 match. Which is a pity, because what you see in these short rushes shows enough promise to warrant being accorded at least ODI-level respect, if not quite Test-level.In Selection Day, a methodical, maniacal father (Rajesh Tailang, last seen on that other OTT platform’s showpiece gangster-drama) does everything to ensure that his children have the best shot at greatness. He steadfastly espouses the virtues of discipline (dietary and otherwise) and doggedly eliminates the minutest of distractions. When a new coach arrives on the scene, the father’s reactions border between concern and insecurity.All of this happened in the 2016 monster-hit, Dangal, as well. But where Dangal promised to be a tale of two siblings, only to completely sidetrack the younger sibling’s arc in the second half, Selection Day is more equitable. Manju’s thirst for the sciences therefore feels as important to the narrative as Radha’s hunger for runs; that the show makes engineering the passion and cricket the forced-choice is a crafty role-reversal. Also, unlike its mainstream brother-from-another-mother, Selection Day feels more committed in getting you to ponder the question: when one stops at no cost to foster greatness, who pays the price?There is much to like about Selection Day. The multilingual dialogues (even though they mostly vacillate between expository and platitudinous) add authenticity to a narrative, which like the city it inhabits, juxtaposes chawls with high-rises and rural immigrants with blue-blooded residents. A hip, supernatural visitor provides other showrunners pointers on how to be subtle when offering meta-commentary. And by having a primary character be queer, Netflix does its bit for improving on-screen representation again; Karanvir Malhotra is a bonafide scene-stealer here as the chocolate-boy frenemy, Javed.But ultimately, Selection Day is simply too short to care about. Yet again, after Sacred Games, Netflix commits the cardinal sin of first teasing the audience with a finite countdown and then not getting through it in a single season.So, given that this mini-season ends with over a hundred days to go for the climactic “Selection Day”, I will be reading Arvind Adiga’s book to find out how the rest of the story unfolds, instead of waiting for the show’s next season.
Why did Netflix have a hard time in India?
Hii there.See Netflix is not making loss in indian market but yeah I agree it is performing poor compare to its competitors. Have a look at performances of various web streaming platforms.You can clearly decipher from this analysis that its mostly the indian oreinted content platform winning the race.The reasons I could see are:1.Price : See indian market has a very high price elasticity. A small increase in price may lead to huge loss of costumer base. Hotstar and Amazon prime being clear winner here.2. Content: Netflix content has mostly American content which is watched mostly by milleneal crowd, hence they loose lot of customers from various age groups.Although Netflix is now coming up with more indian content(ex:Sacred games) with best actors( Nawaz) which in turn will surely be increasing there penetration in indian market3. Business Model: If we look at model adopted by Hotstar or let say voot, they have both subscription and Advertising based business model,ie you can use the service (with lots of ads) without being forced to get into premium subscription based model.4. Diversified service: Wee can see sports ( fomous English league) as well on Hotstar. Many more different kind of content you can find5. illegal ways to get service: Well you know what I mean, Don't you?.Thank You.
How can I, at the age of 17, become the most successful person I can possibly be in the future (job-wise, mentally, emotionally, and physically)?
Never do something simply because it is “expected” of you (other than following laws and paying your taxes… Do not skip paying your taxes!). An exception is education. Get as much as you can without saddling yourself with unnecessary debt.Avoid debt. Pay cash if you need it. If you don’t have the cash, ask yourself if you really need it. If no, go without. If yes, can it wait? If yes, save up for it. If no, only then should you borrow to cover it. Protect your credit like a hawk. Never miss or make a late payment. Your credit is your word of honor.Find your passions as soon as you can. Go after them with everything you have available. Learn everything there is to know about them, be it in school or on your own (preferably both), then start to make improvements where you see opportunities. Become indispensible in your field.Above all, STAY HUMBLE. Just because you’re valuable doesn’t mean you have to shove it in others’ faces. But don’t cave, either. You are valuable. Defend that. Stand up for yourself when the situation warrants.Never. Lie.Admit your mistakes and work hard to correct them as quickly as possible, but always own them. Beware the man who seems to be perfect, making no mistakes. He’s human too. He still makes them, he’s just too weak to admit them. Don’t be him.Live below your means. The adulation of others because you have flashy crap means nothing compared to the peace of mind of knowing that if the hits the fan, you’ll be just fine. Those people will disappear, but you have to live with yourself for the rest of your life.Save for retirement, even if it seems a million years away, and NEVER WITHDRAW IT EARLY, no matter what is going on. A little prudent investing here and there will make you comfortably wealthy by your 50s. Put extra money in index funds and let it sit.Have hobbies. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Find something you like to do that also isn’t very stressful. No, this can’t be Netflix, though it can be something you do while watching Netflix.Above all, be kind to others, and help them wherever you can. As they say, “What goes around comes around.” What they don’t say is that it’s usually with interest. But don’t do things because of what you might get out of them. Do them because you sincerely want to, or because they sincerely help you to get to where you want to go. Let everything else fall away.This list is just the beginning, but it’s a good start. Kinda like being 17…Good luck, kid.
