When the ‘Garden of Eden’ called for..
Images that speak for such beautiful moments of my life.. I have had few enormous stints at the ‘Eden’, this one proved special as it marked my comeback to the ‘City of Joy’ and then to the ‘Eden’. Significantly, it was with my sweetheart and she was ecstatic :)! Picturesque and panting with energy, itContinue reading “When the ‘Garden of Eden’ called for..”
In Transit (Delayed!) Reviews: ‘Attacks of 26/11’ and ‘Inkaar’
We all saw it happen, felt the anguish and disgraced the shameful deed of audacious crime with open arms. Yet, RGV’s bio-centric recapitulation of gory chapters spits venom and reminds us of inhuman embellishment. It isn’t a review, because it isn’t. It was bad walk down the memory lane, with events unfolding in front ofContinue reading “In Transit (Delayed!) Reviews: ‘Attacks of 26/11’ and ‘Inkaar’”
guilty? pleading could be a way of life..
“Punishment isn’t defined, it remains a warhorse of a susceptible battlefield”. way back in 1993, events jolted and stunned us. as a matter of fact, they did so nonchalantly, in Dec ’92. it was unreal, it was deemed barbaric, it was inconsolable. but what made it all so vulnerable was the entire prognosis of theContinue reading “guilty? pleading could be a way of life..”

last 3 weeks have given my potent force, an enamored and polarized bloke! some silken laced moments, an emotional walk around some of the most beautiful lanes and by all means, being accompanied by the woman of my life is a journey of a lifetime that has just begun. don’t believe in rebirths, but doContinue reading “random and voltage..”
second coming..
“life isn’t your bane, you are!” This isn’t a typical comeback, but then with plausible child monotony, this could be a turnaround. Or, may be, it does act as a litmus test. Nevertheless, does with darned fortunes. I am in joy with the city that possibly, and inevitably, made me. I am a believer inContinue reading “second coming..”
Blockbuster Review: Viswaroopam (Tamil Film) – Gallant Gusto!
To begin with, let’s get the dialogue right. Q: Was it worth the hoopla? A: No. Pertinence of few hopelessly wounded individuals lay squashed beneath. Q: Did it have enough to be termed as the ‘Blockbuster’? A: To a large extent, yes. Except the narration (in the second half) that could have been crispier andContinue reading “Blockbuster Review: Viswaroopam (Tamil Film) – Gallant Gusto!”
Blockbuster Review: Kadal (Tamil Film) – Waterplay!
It’s not the typical Mani classic, neither would it fall in the lap of a run-of-a-mill commercial bolt. It plunges in to a zone that’s spurred by moments of brilliance and has Mani’s baton in patches of singing waves. I have stated for sometime now and I continue to echo. Filmmakers make, create, introspect, visualiseContinue reading “Blockbuster Review: Kadal (Tamil Film) – Waterplay!”
Blockbuster Review: Django Unchained – Ruffled Business!
A periodic flamingo ahead of a civil war with a solitary government prognosis and an aid who threatens the very existence of an inevitable black with an improbable quest to bisect the native world with a penchant of pursuance with audacity. Phew! Only and only, Quentin Tarantino can pull that off! And, he does withContinue reading “Blockbuster Review: Django Unchained – Ruffled Business!”

the tale of a pulsating cricketer..
As a youngster, his name was Jesus to my ears. I celebrated his hundreds with madness, yelled at his dismissals and cried when his tons weren’t enough to canter home. I still remember my mom commenting with a disappointing tone – “your love for him supersedes that ought to be reserved for me”. “He isContinue reading “the tale of a pulsating cricketer..”
