Tabula Rasa

 Tabula rasa - (not to be confused with Tambula rasa - the beautiful red designs on our roads) a philosophy which states that a human brain to start with is an empty slate. So our nurture plays an important role rather than nature.

Which means that whether you turn out to be a right conservative or a traitor ;) completely depends on whom you associate with and what kind of tweets you follow or what whatsapp messages you read.

Jokes aside, I don't want to write about philosophies, even in this age. I am talking about the netflix series by the same name. 

Animei or mei is having a blank slate almost each day. Because she has some kind of amensia where she forgets everything after every few days. 

But this fragile lady who was a former opera singer is imprisoned in a psychiatric ward. Sounds horrific. Isn't it? The reason for her confinement is she was the last person to be seen with a missing person. 

Even if she did murder this man - Tom, she will not remember it, right? So the inspector patiently asks her questions to revoke her memory. 

Mie has a seven year old daughter Romy, whom she misses too much and keeps asking about her. And she does remember seeing Tom in a recycling center and being friends with him. But she does not want to tell anything to the police until she figures out things herself.

She had lot of worries - a stalker hiding in the woods and observing her, daughter who doesn't eat, doesn't listen and always upto some mischief. And a large eerie house. 

But let me tell you something - the end is really unexpected and that's why great.
