why have we made such a fuss about a mere cricket player who is just about 5 feet above the ground level, has endorsements to his name just like any other superstar celebrity world over would and tweet our heart out on his every morning siesta lasting till end of night? well, if the cricketerContinue reading “@sachin_rt”

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..”

random and voltage..

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!”

phew.. 2012 was a zipper, how does -13 look like?

To begin with, thank you for the sustenance to keep the urge within me alive! Your likes, the pink comments and your wise following keeps me afloat amidst ruins. This year, I want to be the force to reckon with, yet again :)! Insights, posts, pages, reviews, articles.. and by all means, a lot moreContinue reading “phew.. 2012 was a zipper, how does -13 look like?”

Yashji..

A filmmaker transcends boundaries, surpasses eras and redefines cinema. Yash Chopra just did that. And yet, to survive with a glimpse of fortitude requires ability and a deep understanding of the connoisseur. Hailed as the ‘Baadshah’ of romance, my picks would surprise almost many as I believed in his more rustic approach of filmmaking whichContinue reading “Yashji..”

as the calypso sang..

As I watched Gayle’s exploits at the Premadasa while the Windies lifted the World T20 championship, the glares of the past could be seen lingering within. Can’t say ‘ghosts’ since any sport and its defeat stand distraught in terms of performance and the characters that hugely inflict the impact of such profound greatness. Dad chippedContinue reading “as the calypso sang..”

Barfi! – Sweet..

Landscapes woven out of an artist’s dream, streets that flush meadows in daylight, people who appear and are human, love that has touched the arms of divinity. ‘Barfi!’ is straight out of a folklore that doesn’t exist. Rather, you and me don’t know if it ever did. In the last 15+ years of Indian Cinema,Continue reading “Barfi! – Sweet..”
