Through a friendship distribution model, I argue how the pandemic and social media reset weak and strong ties in different ways. Finally, notes on asymmetry in strong friendships, from The Defiant Ones to RRR.
Friendships and curves! At the start of the pandemic everyone was talking about flattening the curve. May be this was that curve! Nice article. I was humming A.R. Rahman's Mustafa Mustafa all along as I was reading this :) "... Muzhgatha ship'e friendship than." and all that. You should do a follow up on friendship in Indian movies and in particular its songs.
:) Haven't heard that early AR Rahman song in ages. Thanks for the suggestion. Definitely, have been mulling about an essay how to access Indian films, including the under-explained performances of "south films". A lot of canvas to cover there.
