Settling in Blues
Its been a while since I have blogged. After the funny incident involving the cops at the Jor Bagh metro station, things have been busy and hectic. With trips to Kerala, Mysore, Mumbai, Hyderabad and then to Israel, interspersed in between with work, I've not really had much time to do anything of note. In addition, I was asked to shift out of [...]
My Dream Job!
I have finally been able to zero in on what I think is my dream job. Notice I said 'Dream' and this probably means that there isn't a job out there which fits this description in any case. It is probably something I'd like to do to pay the bills and keep some money stashed aside for post-retirement. I can't believe I am thinking that far ahead [...]
Movie of the Century: Deshdrohi
What Gunda was to the 20th Century, Kamaal R Khan (henceforth referred to as KRK) starrer Deshdrohi promises to be for the 21st. Gunda has had such tremendous fan following, and has had among the highest ratings that a Hindi movie could've ever had on IMDB for it incorporated all possible genres that one could think of into an intense three [...]
Obama v/s McCain
I was greeted this morning with the newspaper headline on Deccan Chronicle saying (and I paraphrase) 'Omaba might create history', and it went on to say how opinion polls strongly indicate that he is pitted to be the next US President. There were similar opinion polls and premature celebrations that had taken place eight years ago, when a [...]
Ek Do Teen
While I was sitting at home on the sofa, staring away into the piercing green eyes of the inflatable alien hanging from our ceiling, a random thought suddenly struck me. The song Ek Do Teen from the movie Tezaab just came to mind. The song begins with Madhuri Dixit's character talking to the crowd, and when they keep chanting her name (Mohini, [...]
The “Rock On” Roast
Now that the entire hoopla about 'Rock On' has finally died down, I thought it is time to resurrect it again and engage in a roast dedicated to the movie. As defined in the wiki page that I hope you haven't been lazy enough not to click on, a Roast refers to the opportunity to make uninhibited fun and this is precisely what I am about to do. [...]
Of Premature Celebrations and Apologies
It has been seven days since I did anything related to the internet. I took a few days off work, and combined with holidays for Dasara, the total number of days for which I was away from the office was seven in all. Being a cheap and lazy guy who doesn't want to spend all his time at home online, I have consciously avoided getting another [...]
India’s Answer to Prom Night
I am quite sure everyone who has chanced upon this website knows what prom night is. Prom night has had enough and more references in movies, books and other means of propagating mainstream American pop culture to have remained hidden from those outside of the US and Canada. Prom, short for promenade is a social gathering that marks the end of [...]
