Before unveiling Prerna's murder mystery, let's know a little bit about the story of One Arranged Murder. This is a story about love and murder. Actually, it is about one arranged marriage that eventually becomes one arranged murder.

Keshav Rajpurohit and Sourabh Maheshwari are best friends, colleagues, flat mates, and business partners at 'Z Detectives.' Both of them work at Cyber Safe, a cyber security company, and besides their regular job they also run 'Z Detective'. They live in a small apartment in Malviya Nagar locality in South Delhi. But Keshav and Saurabh are not talking-to each other, because Keshav has a habit of fat-shaming Saurabh’s fiance, Prerna.

Prerna is on the heavier side, and Keshav always finds some reason to take a jab at her weight, which Sourabh doesn't like at all. She is an internet entrepreneur, runs a curated food delivery called 'Eato'. Sourabh and Prerna are a cheesy and romantic couple. They will be getting married soon and it is an arranged marriage. There is probably more love between them than any arranged marriage couple.

On Karva Chauth, Prerna decides to fast for Saurabh. She doesn’t eat and drink all day, and in the evening, gets all decked up, waiting for Saurabh to come and help break her fast. Saurabh is supposed to enter from the back gate and meet her on the terrace of her three-storey house. After reaching the terrace, what he sees there shocks the life out of him. Yes, Sourabh found her dead there.

So now the obvious question comes who killed the girl who was dreaming to get married and waiting to meet her fiance on such auspicious day. Well, it happened and it is none other than her own sister Anjali. Anjali is highly jealous of Prerna's success, money and of being the favourite girl in the family. Anjali thinks that she is deprived from the family. So, she started chalking out each and every single thing to kill Prerna and finally it is the night of Karva Chauth when she pushes her off the terrace by betraying the trust of Prerna.

“Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it’s awful.” -  Samuel Beckett : Waiting for Godot (34) Waiting for Godot,  a paragon of existentialism, is crafted by the brilliant mind of Samuel Beckett. Beckett, a modernist Irish writer, often associated with the ‘Theatre of the Absurd.' He was highly influenced by the French philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. Waiting for Godot is a highly celebrated existential play. Existential philosophy says that we human beings simply exist in a world that does not have any overarching moral order or meaning. We are not essentially good or bad, we are what we make of ourselves, what we think of ourselves and we are what we choose to believe. Questions such as life, death, the meaning of human existence and the place of God in that existence are among them. The theories of existentialism assert that conscious reality is very complex and without an "objective" or universally known value. We see, that, in  Waiting for Godot...

Compare and Contrast - The Lilliputians and the Brobdingnagians in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels

Jonathan Swift’s magnum opus Gulliver’s Travels is the story of the astonishing voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, who is basically the narrator and protagonist of the tale. A parody of the popular travel narrative, Gulliver’s Travels combines adventure with savage satire, mocking English customs and the politics of the day. The phenomenal and continuing popularity of Gulliver's Travels raises the question that this essay will attempt to answer. Harold Bloom remarks on Gulliver’s Travels: "If the Tale-teller is a Swiftian parody of one side of Swift, the anti-Cartesian, anti-Hobbesian, then Gulliver is a Swiftian parody of the great ironist’s own misanthropy." (2) Swift’s A Tale of a Tub has much to do with our sense of its excess, with its force being so exuberantly beyond its form. Gulliver’s Travels, the later and lesser work, has survived for the common reader, and whereas Swift’s early masterpiece has not.  Gulliver's Travels is the story of Lemuel Gulliver, a married s...
