For the past fortnight or so, every news channel has taken a lot of air time, and every newspaper and magazine considerable print space to telecast and write their take on the Indian Premier League. The IPL is perhaps the most glamorous and talked-about event of 2008 in India. The marriage of Bollywood and cricket, […]

Malvika’s been doing a good job at MantraBlogs off late, and that has made me relax a bit for past few days. But now I am back from my short sabbatical and posting here my take on the already much debated Jodhaa Akbar. I caught this movie last evening and the movie ran into the […]

There was a piece of news today that must have been on some page (mostly International) of every newspaper in the world, ie the end of Fidel Castro’s 50-year-old reign. Fidel Castro is one of the few international leaders who has managed to rule a country for such a long period. Col Gaddafi of Libya […]

Last week, I read an interesting story in Outlook about how Indian writers are taking millions of rupees in advance payments. This, I agree, has been a refreshing trend in the Indian publishing segment, where a quintessential Indian writer can be visualized as kurta-wearing, below-the-poverty-line kind of a person.

I spent a part of my Sunday morning watching the Australians bat. Since they lost 9 wickets today, I got to hear every player’s brief intro before he came on to bat on the pitch.

Getting interiors done of a new unfurnished space is quite a task, especially when you are inexperienced at handling many vendors, and that too like carpenters, painters and electrician.

The whole world has been talking of the Tata Nano and admittedly, it has got me thinking too. Any magazine that I have picked up in the last fortnight or so has either carried an interview of Ratan Tata or covered a story on the world’s cheapest car. Ratan Tata has every right to be […]

I have admired Rajat Kapoor from the days he acted as then curly-haired Preity Zinta’s Uncle in the hip Dil Chahta Hai. I once catched his chat show on NDTV Imagine, and see him appearing in adverts of a NatGeo show where he is a quiz master. He comes across as a suave and sophisticated […]

Last Friday, I spent the two hours before going to bed watching an unknown movie to me till then - Flight of the Phoenix, which is a remake of a 1965 classic of the same name. Watching Flight of the Phoenix was like bringing back the memories of late ’70s and ’80s movies that used […]
