Calcutta. Cha aar singhada. Country savaged by war, cities torn by partition and hatred. People in clutches of political propaganda and heist, witnessing victims of brutal animosity. Saradindu Bandhapadhyay’s witty and courageous Byomkesh Bakshi. Well, for me, Byomkesh Bakshi embodies the waters of above. And surprisingly, he hasn’t been an ardent flavor of Cinema,Continue reading “Reliving Byomkesh”

Plenty.
Yes. Consumed. Period. Inflammable isn’t an attribute, it’s a way of getting burnt. Hopes. Turmoil. Not over but begun. Ah, just yet. Travel fascinates me, engulfs life over its normalcy and catapults mortals to a perceived cubicle of succumbing dreams. Yes, am fulfilled. Yes, I dream. Yes, I dare. Yes, started. Phases co exist, precludingContinue reading “Plenty.”

I have a self confessed fascination for legacy, and it certainly gives a road map to our roots. After all, today is risen from the past that paves the way for tomorrow. Seldom acknowledged, though. You will see some shots which are by far, the most revered ones. Those were the times when my photographicContinue reading “Archives”

Team was in tatters, media slaughtered them for lack of sustenance and India’s overseasContinue reading “Till next time.”
When’s next?
‘Animals don’t live in jungles anymore. We have evolved – they look like humans, dress like normal people, roam around in every corner of our lives and rape our women like predators’. Rape has now become a rustic commodity of filthy proportions. Ever since the gruesome night in Delhi, we talk about it almost everyday,Continue reading “When’s next?”
Packet Reviews
World Cup is high on the table and India is off to a rocking start. Beating Pakistan was significant (more from a non cricketing sense) but downing the Proteas was good performance as they are a quality side and will give India the right impetus to progress ahead. Early days but looking forward to someContinue reading “Packet Reviews”
And, the next year is..
Back2Back: Review Corner
PK Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani? Well, ideal expectation is a cinematic swagger. The end product is almost perfect, but isn’t the Christmas cake with all cherries and pies though. What made other Raju films strike a chord with audience (Munnabhai, Lage Raho, 3 Idiots) was them being very close to reality and yet deliverContinue reading “Back2Back: Review Corner”
