The Cure famously sang, “Sunday always comes too late.” It does seem that the wait for the week to end is endless. And, when Sunday finally comes, it ends too soon. So, if you want to maximize your Sunday, the only way to do it is by planning well in advance. There are people out there who think that working for five days a week and resting two days for the rest is simply not enough. However, lifestyle influencer Meeta Vengapally genuinely believes that “Making the most of what you get is what makes us human.”

Indian-born, Meeta is a native of California who heads Garnysh, a bespoke fitness and technology company that creates tailor-made diet plans that suits individuals’ fitness and nutrition needs. A serial entrepreneur and one of the most sought-after social media influencers with over 137,000 followers on Instagram, she actively connects with all her followers, sharing tips and tricks on looking fit, young, and fabulous.

“Apart from working out and eating right, it is extremely imperative to get enough rest as well. Sunday comes and goes in the blink of an eye. I wish it could be paused to get the most out of it,” she says.

Along with running her company, Meeta also manages her time between being a mother of two kids. She acknowledges, “One of the worst parts of running a business is never being able to shut my mind off it. Being off the Internet and work can be quite a challenge.”

However, people are noticing her hard work, and Meeta has been featured in numerous publications including Forbes, Chicago Tribune, MSN, and many more for her contributions in the fields of fitness and technology.

As for Sundays, they are for relaxation and rejuvenation for the coming week. Plus, everyone needs to give their body enough rest to stay safe from all sorts of illnesses. So, this Sunday, take a breather and give your mind, body, and soul the goodness they need.

Sitting in the dimly lit theater, I had no idea what to expect as the opening credits of “The Firing Squad” began to roll. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an emotional journey that would leave me reaching for tissues and struggling to catch my breath.

The film follows the true story of three Christians facing execution by firing squad in a third world country. Directed by Timothy A. Chey, it features a stellar cast including James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Each actor brings their character to life with such authenticity and depth that it’s impossible not to be fully immersed in their struggles and triumphs.

As the plot unfolded, I found myself drawn into a world of despair and desperation, but also one of unwavering faith and hope. The characters’ journey from darkness to light, from despair to redemption, resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I couldn’t help but be moved by their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.

But it was the performances that truly stole the show. James Barrington’s portrayal of the protagonist’s internal turmoil was nothing short of mesmerizing, while Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered powerhouse performances that left me in awe.

And then there was the message of the film—that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always hope. That even in our darkest moments, faith has the power to transform lives and bring about redemption. It was a message that hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me with tears streaming down my face and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the credits rolled and the lights came up, I found myself struggling to put into words the impact that “The Firing Squad” had on me. All I could manage was, “I cried buckets of tears.” And I wasn’t alone. As I looked around the theater, I saw others wiping their eyes and exchanging emotional glances.

In the end, “The Firing Squad” wasn’t just a movie—it was an experience. An experience that left me feeling inspired, uplifted, and profoundly grateful for the power of cinema to touch the soul. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

The movie is set to premiere in the theatres worldwide on August 2, 2024. And this is definitely a must watch movie, reminding people of the strength of faith.
