Ctrl F
Whosoever ignoble person found the combination with Ctrl key, he must have gone through lot of pain in his life. So he thought of making others realize that. My fingers are almost dead with pain after Ctrl C, Ctrl V and most importantly Ctrl F. It also shows the lack of far sightedness in key [...]

Hail Email
I have been an email freak, by choice or by no-choice. It had a setback during college days, when Yahoo! decided to stop free POP access. Also , I tore my hairs when Hotmail deleted all my mails after a brief inaction or when the size limit of the mailbox and the attach [...]

Funtastic Four
Oh, well , I did enjoy this one. I was disappointed by yesterday’s war, but this pulled my spirits up.
Never having watched the cartoon also helped. Few special effects, little romance, some fun. Kid stuff, but there was some progress and events, in the sense that I can sit and narrate it as a [...]

War of the worlds
Unclear CD blurred the intentions behind creation of this movie. Looked like a mix of ET and Id4, but lacked a story,flow. I feel, I can watch scenes in any order. Chaos in the city, run run run.
The scene in the basement is particularly gripping.
Technically, this might be very advanced compared to Id4 or Jurassic [...]

Direction
Sometimes we start in one direction in search of a thing. We go far. Having come this far we would not mind to search a bit more, just in the hope of finding it. Exhausted and the thoughts of returning empty hand & the long return journey would stop us from returning. We remember the [...]

Sahara
Without knowing much background of the movie, I saw this one, actually due to unavailability of tickets to War of the worlds.Being unexpected often helps ! It was quite fun. The film is no masterpiece, but is better than many below average ones. It lacks a certain punch, a story line. Happy-go-lucky events, a [...]

Conversations
This week was marked with many useful email conversations. It was good to find one or the other person ready(free) to listen, ready(free) to reply !
And the topics themselves were of diverse interests. I absorbed more in some and could put down my views in others. Important point was the conversations hardly digressed and were [...]

No input, No output
If friends are meeting after a long time, there will be enough to speak
about the updates and changes. But if the two persons speak daily,
There has to be some external input for their conversation.
Or
They need to share some common tastes (Connectivity)
I had a company with whom the conversation used to end as soon as it [...]

The simplicity of [...]

Sarkar
A Ram Gopal Varma direction. First time Big B under RGV’s camera. Bachan Father-Son Duo. Expectations are obviously high and results in house-full sunday morning show.
It can be said with conviction that the expectations are met, but alas they are not exceeded. No one is to blame, you wanted RGV’s take on underwold, mafia world, [...]

Negation
Some people have installed a “NOT gate” or “INVERTER” in their mind.
Whatever you say, they would oppose it and reply in negative. I have
carefully studied to see if that has got anything to do with attitude. No it
does not. They simply negate.
I say black they say white. I say right, they say wrong. I say [...]

Book Tag
When I first saw this in Indian Blogosphere, I just felt like going into hiding! I realised that I would put up a sorry figure if I attempt to pick up the meme, and I mailed about it to few book-enthusiasts like Pradeep.
Now that I am formally tagged, let me come out -
Total number of [...]

Parineeta
Story is based on the novel by a famous novelist, Saratchandra Chattopadhyay. Movie from the table of Vidhu Vinod Chopra under the direction of Pradeep Sarkar will have mixed expectations. One, we have always appreciated Vidhu Vinod Chopra, second Pradeep Sarkar is a new name.
Intelligent promos increase your curiosity. The cast too includes a newcomer.
Rest [...]
