Midnight Mass











Director: Mike Flanagan

I live in Vasai, a small town by the sea. The beaches are desolate during the day, with people gathering in the mornings and evenings. It was a sleepy town not too long ago. Urbanization has made large areas of it a busy bustling settlement. Certain areas of our town still carry a sleepy hue.

I watched Midnight Mass when a cyclone was whirring past our town. The cloudy canopy over Vasai, torrents of rain and chilly breeze served as the ideal ambience to watch this unique horror series that is set in Crockett Island, a quaint sea-bound town that is so sleepy it seems dead.

I would switch off the lights, cover myself with a cosy blanket and binge this series. Sometimes my neighbourhood would plunge into darkness because of power cuts. The moon and stars are shielded by clouds, so I’d view the show in pitch darkness and pin drop silence late at night. I’d choose one hour before and after midnight to consume the episodes as it was called Midnight Mass. I had tears in my eyes as the end credits rolled in.

Dravidians The origin of the Dravidian people and the foundations of their languages have sparked many debates. Anthropologists also have different theories. Some aver that the Dravidians lived in India before the Indo-Aryans arrived here. We learnt in school that the Indus Valley civilization was of Dravidian origin. This was the theory of Western scholars during the British Raj, according to which Aryans entered India between 2000 BCE and 1000 BCE,   displacing the population of the Indus Valley Civilisation. Historians have included hunting-gathering tribes of ancient India among the Dravidians as well. Rural farming communities started forming in India 9000 years ago. As surplus crops were produced, they required to be stored. People needed to stay close to granaries thereby ushering in urbanisation. That’s how the Indus Valley Civilisation may have emerged. Over the centuries, they learned advanced town planning. Their towns had great plumbing with drains. The heydays ...
