I am on course to fulfill my zest to take a glimpse at some of the finest films crafted in Indian cinema. Pyaasa definitely ranks amongst the top and I need to tell you folks that I just witnessed a work of a genius. We all have heard, read and applauded the craftsmanship of GuruContinue reading “Pyaasa (1957) – A Film By Guru Dutt”

The Monarch Gets His Share of The Pie.. Finally..
He has belted every record with phenomenal ease and an effortless display of authentic batsmanship. Today, was no different. When Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar touched the 200 mark, we all witnessed history in Gwalior. The man possessed with almost every record in the cricketing fraternity (A triple century in tests and highest individual test score stillContinue reading “The Monarch Gets His Share of The Pie..

Drama & Euphoria at the Eden..
It was a stupendous test match on a perfect platform, ‘The Garden of Eden’. India scripted a historic victory when they were almost on the verge of losing it out to the weather gods. But fortunately, rain stayed away on the final day’s play and it was left to the Indian bowlers to chop theContinue reading “Drama & Euphoria at the Eden..”
Rann – Intensity with Panache
I always watch RGV’s films with a sense of unpredictability. He is one of those few maverick filmmakers who can make an absolute gem one day and a disastrous dud on the next. Rann, fortunately, falls in the first category. And in the process, has ended up in creating a classic from his stable. TheContinue reading “Rann – Intensity with Panache”
Avatar – A Series of Bizarre Occurrences..
Avatar for me was an extravaganza of superlative visual graphics and mind boggling execution of 3D technology. And with that, I am done commenting about all the good things about this multi million blockbuster. Let me make myself very clear that fantasy has never excited me, probably I am too much in to the fraternityContinue reading “Avatar – A Series of Bizarre Occurrences..”
Apple’s iPad – How revolutionary could it be..??
The first looks of the iPad are indeed a revelation and going by the vehement statement made by Steve Jobs, it could be the magical multimedia device we all have never seen. But for now, all of our ideas, feedback and the critic’s review could just be a speculation. If you ask me, I amContinue reading “Apple’s iPad – How revolutionary could it be..??”
CPI(M) will never be the same again..
The demise of Jyoti Basu marked the end of an era. An era that witnessed some of the finest leaders this country has ever seen, and they were an embellishment to the fraternity of our political history. For many, Mr Basu might already be a part of folkfore, but for me, he has always comeContinue reading “CPI(M) will never be the same again..”
Pitch in for ‘Pitches’..
The ‘Kotla‘ debacle has raised quite a few eyebrows on the infrastructure and the management of the regional centers, across India. On this occasion, the DDCA was found guilty and by all means, this does not augur well for the country’s reputation, who is all set to host the ‘World Cup’ in 2011. The BCCIContinue reading “Pitch in for ‘Pitches’..”
3 Idiots – VVC & Raju churn out another classic from their stable..
Once in 3-4 years, comes a movie which touches our heart, tinkers the strings of emotions within us and breezes through our minds as sheer poetry. ‘3 Idiots’ is one such flick. Vidhu and Raju come back together after the ‘Munnabhai’ series and their films have just one thing in common. They create magic onContinue reading “3 Idiots – VVC & Raju churn out another classic from their stable..”
As 2010 arrives..
“The glorious past can never be a yardstick for the unpredictable and yet, juvenile future. Let us pray and wish for a year, filled with plethora of challenges to encounter, and plenty of opportunities to excel.” I wish all my readers, a progressive and hugely successful new year!
A Visit To ‘God’s Own Country’..
I have always heard (obviously nice things..) a lot about the state of Kerala and its picturesque locations, and post my vacation there (which ended a bit too soon!!), I would agree with most of the claims made. The place is an absolute must for folks who admire diversity. We all had a whale ofContinue reading “A Visit To ‘God’s Own Country’..”
The Serenity of Hogenakkal Falls is Enchanting!!
This is my 3rd visit to Hogenakkal Falls and I must admit, that every time I make it to this place, it never ceases to take the charm away from it’s picturesque locales and the incredible scenic beauty of the waterfalls. This time, I made it with my friends from the ‘City Of Joy’ andContinue reading “The Serenity of Hogenakkal Falls is Enchanting!!”
