I was quite adamant to see this movie on IMAX and in 3D and not in some ordinary theatre. What surprised me was that the booking of the movie opened last month on the 15th. Yes, you read it right! That is when the enormity of the mania hit me. And to make things worse, … Continue reading »

When victim is the culprit
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. – Bishop Desmond Tutu So when my eyes fell upon this news article … Continue reading »

As if the Terrorists were not tormenting enough…
…we have Mamta Banerjee literally arm-twisting the Tata’s out of Singur by Violence and threatening the lives of the workers in the plant, without giving a second thought to the fact that this might be the last nail in the coffin of West Bengal’s progress. …we have Ramalinga Raju who did not care a bit … Continue reading »

Ramayana depicts Ram Sena as an army of monkeys who helped Sri Ram to build a bridge to Sri Lanka and saved Sita from the clutches of Ravan.

Can I live please?
I went to Barakhamba Road yesterday. I was standing at the exact place where the bomb blast happened last year. I moved my right ankle in a semi circle to displace the dirt on the road. Maybe I was trying to see if it was still red? I went there to meet my very old … Continue reading »

Ghajini – Movie Review
After coming out of the theatre, I asked mom whether she liked the movie. Her answer was: Isn’t this the kind of movie Sunny Deol used to do 20 years back? I told her that she was a genius and this was the best one line in which the movie can be described. Somehow, the … Continue reading »
Rab ne bana di jodi – Movie Review
I hate to be the harbinger of bad news but someone has to do the job. The movie could have been the “coming of age” of love stories and it was steering that way in the initial 30 minutes but then somehow nosedived and went deep into the abyss of the cliched. Before going into … Continue reading »

Mumbai Attacks : The week that was
It has been a week now since the ruthless attacks. Public anger has never been so omnipresent and neither have our politicians come under such a heavy scrutiny(no wonder they have been royally goofing up and giving tactless statements which is doing nothing less than fuelling the fire). Targeting foreign nationals in the attacks was … Continue reading »
Terrorism, Mumbai and the Jealous Kid
During the 1980s, when Punjab was in the claws of Terrorism, I was watching Doordarshan when something came up which I would never forget. I was a kid at that time but the visuals left a lasting impact. They were interviewing a Sikh boy(not more that 14-15 years of age) whose whole family was killed … Continue reading »

When she reaches the German concentration camp with her two children, she is asked by an officer to choose one of her child who would be exterminated. She pleads and … Continue reading »
Severn Suzuki and THE One tight slap
It was the year 1992 and Severn Suzuki was a 12 year old kid.

She gave a six minutes speech there which received a standing ovation from the delegates of the various … Continue reading »
Bhoothnath – Movie Review
Bhoothnath was never supposed to be something unusual or special. The promos were not very impressive and the moment you saw them, you knew the story. That somehow worked in the favour of the movie. Its not that its great, but its enjoyable. Its kiddie stuff with a terrible baghban-ish, Yawn-ish twist at the end. … Continue reading »
Incest : Forced vs Consensual
Forced Incest While jumping through news sites, one of my friend pointed out the Josef Fritzl’s case. The story made me gasp in horror. Fritzl has been repeatedly raping his daughter from the past twenty years and has fathered seven children with her, out of which six are surviving. Fritzl has been keeping his daughter … Continue reading »
