If human relationships could be bracketed under mystic wraps, then I would be the most prominent protagonist to breathe life with pretentious fame. ‘Mayakkam Enna’ is one such tantalising epic that miscodes and quotes life in phonetic modes. A great ‘hounds and fur’ portrayal of versatile characters in situations of despicable abyss, ME enthrals mostContinue reading “Mayakkam Enna (Tamil Film): Gutsy and Glorious Few!”

When dominance was ecstasy..
As I watch the ‘Agneepath Series’ at the spectacular MCG, I had my notions revisit the legacy of the OZ juggernaut. When Sehwag was dropped by the wicket keeper (few minutes before tea), I was like “Omigosh, this isn’t the Aussie side I have witnessed in the last 18 years” and my pandora wasn’t hintingContinue reading “When dominance was ecstasy..”
Lifeoholic’s memoirs..
Our ability to emote is a variable widget in our lives. It’s preinstalled but comes in to use depending upon the circumstances and the kind of people we are surrounded by. I, conspicuously and by finesse of nature, am not an emotional creature. But, moments of poignancy does take its toll. When it did evolveContinue reading “Lifeoholic’s memoirs..”
When vacationing vents notes..
“Being iconic doesn’t indicate invincibility but symbolises pervasiveness”. “A picture perfect story could be buried under debris when pookish fixtures confront you”. “Andheri, Bandra-Worli Sea Link, Haji Ali, Marine Drive, Wankhede, Aston Martin.. an illustrious ride to Colaba couldn’t pack more muscles”. “Happy Anniversary to Suddha-Babli, probably the only elite couple who allow me toContinue reading “When vacationing vents notes..”
Rockstar: Dazzling Debonair!
It happens during an occasional hiatus when a film with heart and soul appears to melt you down. Very few could have a translucent and vibrant mix of love, eccentricity, attitude, sadness, loss, romance, obsession, creativity and perhaps, madness. ‘Rockstar’ embodies these in plenty and takes you through a journey of elapsed yet powerful minds.Continue reading “Rockstar: Dazzling Debonair!”
Those were the days..
While sipping the customary lemon tea and exchanging pleasantries for the day with couple of my colleagues during our early morning banter, we ran in to a conversation that seldom fades away. Our younger days are our inspiration and the greatest teacher (few would disagree with me on that). We cursed our teachers, accused ourContinue reading “Those were the days..”
Steven Paul Jobs (1955-2011): The pioneer and his legacy..
Technology became poorer by tons as we lost a charismatic leader and a creative genius who succumbed to cancer on October 5th, 2011. I have been reading and celebrating the life of a man who lived in his own terms and his acute manoeuvring skills in the field of computing and later, towards the mobileContinue reading “Steven Paul Jobs (1955-2011): The pioneer and his legacy..”
Do we patronise Mr. Gandhi?
I opened up my day with the headlines and to my dismay, it appeared that tabloids were more keen to get a glimpse of the ailing Sonia Gandhi and get to more trivia behind the background rather putting in few sedate moments to remember the reverent Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Is that the kind of relevanceContinue reading “Do we patronise Mr. Gandhi?”
Living amidst mayhem?
A very brave question, especially when President Obama’s emphatic and proud proclamation of bringing down terrorism and it’s leaders descended upon all of us. If you ask me, I do not see a pin up to this entire episode which began long before the debacle of 09/11 engraved all of us. Yes, Osama is dead.Continue reading “Living amidst mayhem?”
When humans are mortals..
I realise that despite our all conquering attitude and pervasive capabilities, we, as human beings, are susceptible at different strata of our lives. And life, to our utmost savouries, ceases to relinquish the mightiest of all. Nuances and subjugations of life have been my greatest teacher, and undeniably, the force behind the man I am.Continue reading “When humans are mortals..”
The ‘Apple’ that was..
Legends leave a legacy that’s easy to revere but difficult to cherish without embracing tussles of the highest order. Steven P Jobs was an outstanding entrepreneur who lived and graced life in his own terms. More than self, Apple Inc. and it’s meteoric rise to the número uno slot was testimony to his mercurial genius.Continue reading “The ‘Apple’ that was..”
The ‘Yahoo’ man is no more..
He wasn’t the ultimate legend like Amitabh Bacchan, neither was he a pioneer superstar like Rajesh Khanna. He isn’t a Dilip Saab either. He was a pale shadow underneath the aura of his elder brother and showman, Raj Kapoor. But, by all means, Shammi Kapoor was one of the charismatic celebrities that graced the silverContinue reading “The ‘Yahoo’ man is no more..”
