when they thought otherwise

No, I haven’t watched ‘The Revenant’ yet. But, sincerely, there were moments of severe brilliance for Leonardo DiCaprio when he could have. I take this jab at him now, rather on the ones who said ‘no’ to him. I list down DiCaprio’s earlier performances that didn’t go down the red carpet way.

Are you star driven?

Let’s have a crazy discussion. How many of us feel human race evolved out of the stars, galaxy or other astronomical endeavours?  Are we really the bi products of the ‘Adam & Eve’ syndrome?

Man with all his capacity and victorious zeal, is found susceptible at the gamut of endings.
