Getting Back on Track

Somehow, getting back on track after an illness can often be as frustrating as the being ill… It is very funny – during the illness, I spent my time trying to work – slowly and little by little and I did complete most of my assignments anyways…So I was quite a good girl. And so, [...]

My Hero – Amitabh Bachchan

Everyone who knows me, knows that I love Amitabh Bachchan. And that PK doesn’t like him one bit. LOL. Well, he’s learnt to live with it, I suppose. In Bollywood, they call him the ‘Big B’. For me, he has always remained Amitabh Bachchan – My Hero. Ever since I began to watch movies, I [...]

Diwali :: Jab We Met :: Work :: Om Shanti Om :: NaNoWriMo

Ah well! Regular readers of my blog (I have been told that there are some of them out there!) ought to be used to something like this by now – so this one is also something like 5 different things in 1 single post. So first off, let me start out by saying “HAPPY DIWALI [...]

Marigold :: Transformers

So here I was, yesterday, getting totally bored out of my skull. So I decided to go for a movie or two. Called the cinema, looked in the newspaper. Went there. First movie I saw was Marigold. This movie has Salman Khan with a nice looking American Actress (she is called Marigold in the movie) [...]

On Why Rang De Basanti Would’ve Never Gotten That Oscar

This is a short essay about my personal feelings about why India’s entry to the Oscars, Rang De Basanti and why it would’ve never gotten the Academy’s Award. Let me tell you first off, that I have no authority whatsoever, on the technical side to really make any comments. But I do have every authority [...]

All this amid the crackling dialogues, the sizzling chemistry and the amazingly touching plot….makes for an [...]

Spiderman 3 : Kids in Cinema Theatres : Ek Chalis Ki Last Local

This is a post which has 3 posts in one – you may call it a 3-in-1 post! Happened to watch Spiderman 3 yesterday with the boyfriend; got pestered by the kids in the seats above us; and watched Ek Chalis Ki Last Local thereafter. Overall an enjoyable experience for the first and last, the [...]

Dhoom 2

The age of sequels has begun in India, with Krissh 2 and now D2. But then sequels are often compared with the first part. Dhoom 2 is no exception. Well, in my personal opinion, they could have done a better job with this one. Ash looks good and so does Bips. But then their skin [...]

Umrao Jaan

I watched the remake of Umrao Jaan yesterday. This was the version with Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan. To be honest, I quite liked the movie. It was quite well done. I also liked the shayari and the songs – probably the only reason that I still dont end up humming the tunes is because [...]

Main Hoon Don!

I watched the remake of Don a couple of days ago. It set me thinking. Don’t get me wrong – I quite liked the movie. It’s quite a nice take on the earlier version. If one watches the movie as a stand-alone then it can even be fun to watch! Amitabh is Amitabh. If ever [...]
