A film by Anurag Basu always invokes curiosity clubbed with expectation. And, usually, he delivers top notch. ‘Kites’ doesn’t disappoint. The film, primarily made to cater international audience, has strong overtones of a hollywood set up and the exquisite looks suggest the inevitable intentions of the producers. I would not talk about the script hereContinue reading “Kites – Flies high with style and melodrama”

‘Women’ – The epitome of imperious sustenance
They are probably the most unique and special class of human species. And every time I come across their exploits, they impress me to the core. Usually, in our spectrum of narrow minded inhabitants, we have always acknowledged and expected them to play second fiddle to man. And you can argue that in the wakeContinue reading “‘Women’ – The epitome of imperious sustenance”
Dismal T20 campaign raises inevitable eyebrows..
I have always vouched my opinion on this aspect of the game in a very strong and sedate manner. Today, I reinstate my conviction. Unanimously, I request our immensely talented and enthusiastic cricketers to stop indulging in the lousy business of T20 and focus on ‘Cricket’. Mind you, I am not trying to be aContinue reading “Dismal T20 campaign raises inevitable eyebrows..”

Presentations could be juvenile yet vulnerable..
It is my firm conviction that presentations in any form, catering to a larger spectrum of the elite and educative crowd has it’s own charismatic influence in a very subtle yet appealing manner. Many might beg to differ, but my stand on this aspect of the competency remains unruffled. Presentations need not be very formal unless youContinue reading “Presentations could be juvenile yet vulnerable..”
IPL Diary – What a final!!
As Harsha Bhogle aptly conveyed the message: ‘The magnificent campaign of Mumbai and Sachin Tendulkar in IPL 2010 has come to an end.’ Without doubt, CSK were the superlative team of the day and fought back in to the tournament to take the title home. For me, the star for Chennai was Suresh Raina. HeContinue reading “IPL Diary – What a final!!”
Facing Ali – The Retrospective of A Great Champion!
I cannot term ‘Facing Ali’ as a biopic. Neither can it be considered as a documentary. For me, it is a narration of one of the most prolific and iconic figures in sporting history, from his most revered contemporaries who have witnessed and known ‘Muhammed Ali’ as a fighter, a sportsman, an ambassador and aboveContinue reading “Facing Ali – The Retrospective of A Great Champion!”
IPL Diary – The story of two legends..
This is in retrospective of 2 well fought games that yielded comprehensive results. And sterling performances from two giants made the outcome look effortless. The first game I am talking about is the clash between KKR & RCB. KKR have been performing inconsistently throughout and their performance has been patchy. RCB on the other hand, have slowlyContinue reading “IPL Diary – The story of two legends..”
What makes life worth living it for..??
This is probably one of the most frequently asked questions which is more frequently ignored. I think it’s time we start putting a heavy price tag on ourselves, for what we are, for what we have achieved phenomenally in all these years of voracious learning and start paying tributes to our capabilities, which by far,Continue reading “What makes life worth living it for..??”
When ‘Dada’ came in to his own..
I have always been convinced with the fact that Sourav Ganguly is a matchwinner. And this belief of mine was re-established today. His dazzling innings of 88 off 54 balls was studded with 9 hits to the fence and 5 massive over boundaries. The ‘Prince of Kolkata’ was back in his elements today and dominatedContinue reading “When ‘Dada’ came in to his own..”
I want my uTube back..
When my usual tryst with uTube commenced today morning, I was stunned to see a new look version of the legendary library. To compound problems further, I was shocked and bewildered to find that the URL links for my concurrent downloads were conspicuously missing. Omigosh!!!?? Please don’t tell me that the pre-beta and the subsequent beta versions would lackContinue reading “I want my uTube back..”
Shutter Island – A thriller that will blow your brains off..!!
I always look forward to a Martin Scorsese film with loads of expectations and the prospect of witnessing a riveting drama at it’s best. And this thriller sweeps you away with a kind of raw yet subtle intensity, that has been a trademark in all Scorsese flicks. The entire set up of the maverick institutionContinue reading “Shutter Island – A thriller that will blow your brains off..!!”
