Fashion- Good but not a show stopper!

I have seen all Madhur Bhandarkar movies so far, from Chandni Bar to Traffic Signal and that is not because I am his fan…but I just ended up watching them. I wasn’t really keen on watching this movie but my sister was, perhaps because she is a designer herself and wanted to see her industry […]

The Pedestrian Romeo

‘Roadside Romeo’ is one of the crappiest animated movies I have ever subjected myself to. I wish to end my rant here but I feel it is my moral duty to enlighten you before you plunge into the nothingness that is ‘Roadside Romeo’! With voice overs by Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Javed Jaffrey, there […]

Seven step sisters?

We are all familiar with the term, ‘seven sister states’, referring to the seven states from the North East region of India. Most of us would even have faint memories from school, when we were made to mark the seven sisters with their respective capitals on tiny political maps of India. But try asking anyone […]

The Last Lecture

Dear Malvika,
First, thanks for gifting me The Last Lecture.
Today, I finished reading the book. In the past, I have read quite a few inspirational, the so-called “self-help” books such as The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, You Can Win, The Alchemist, etc. However, The Last Lecture stands out because it is real.
I particularly enjoyed reading […]

A Wednesday on A Sunday

Sundays evenings are puzzling. You have gotten up late, had a heavy brunch, and may be have had a nice siesta. Then what? What do you do? Work more? Read? Watch TV? For a lazy coach such as me, I usually have my bath in the evening after having spent the day hogging and reading/working. […]

Wine and Dine at “Frescoes”- Ambi Mall –Gurgaon

Since my original plan for the day went a bit awry a friend of mine from school suggested I meet her instead for lunch and a movie. Since I am not very familiar with Gurgaon in terms of food and places, I let her decide. And she took me to Frescoes at the Ambi Mall […]

Watching Made of Honor

Another chick-flick to join the league of…well chick-flicks! Made of Honor starring Patrick Dempsey (a.k.a “McDreamy” from Grey’s anatomy), along with many others but one of the USPs of the film was him probably (because there isn’t much more in the film other than him looking quite “dreamy”! So why do I feel it’s a […]

I need some ‘space’

Alright! So the fuss is finally over. The first unmanned flight from India has blasted off to the moon from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, a place near the coast of Andhra Pradesh. I feel ashamed off myself when I say that I am geographically challenged as I have never heard of this […]

Aromas of China at Ambience Mall

Sorry Urvashi, I am again back to writing on eating out! This time it is about Aromas of China at Ambience Mall in Gurgaon. I usually don’t go that far to eat, and this time it was by chance. I had a meeeeting (yes, a long one) in Gurgaon and the hunger pangs were so […]

Body of Lies: Movie Review

Another thought-provoking and thrilling movie from Ridley Scott, based on a novel by a David Ignatius with the same name. The movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe and other whom I don’t know! I usually don’t agree to watch “serious” movies, I mean given my way I prefer watching a comedy, but I enjoyed Scott’s […]
