MLTR – LIVE!

Last month, I bought a CD of MLTR for Rs. 200. It was on sale at 50% off. A big steal for a die hard MLTR fan! The music album is a live recording of their show in Shillong which happened about 2 years back. Listening to a live recording is a bit […]

Bypass this Sajjanpur!

Shyam Benegal is the only reason that drew me to PVR Naraina to watch his latest offering Welcome to Sajjanpur. I did not go with any preconceived notion of how the movie would be, neither did I read any reviews. Last time I had watched a Shyam Benegal film was in circa 2005, when Netaji […]

No Singles, Please!

You must have seen that crossing, which takes you towards the AIIMS […]

However, this Sunday, while sitting on the bed, I just […]

Parking Blues in New Delhi

This is a rant on car parking blues in saddi dilli. This comes straight from my heart, as I have experienced extreme problems in parking my car in the past week. My last trip was to PVR in Saket on Saturday, and finding a space to park my car took me good half an hour […]
