Nothing amuses me more than psychological suspense thrillers with a pinch of horror in it, and when the making team comprises of Scorsese and DiCaprio then you can’t miss this ride and hence I didn’t. It was a long wait for Indian viewers before they actually released it; I had started to lose hope of it ever getting released in India. Continue reading “Shutter Island . . .”

Prince Of Persia Sands of Time
I was around 10 years old when I first played Prince of Persia first on the black and white CRT monitors. That was the first real game which I played on computer and I had no idea that it is the beginning of a lifetime affair. Today as I write this post, I am still playing Prince of Persia, the difference is now the monitors are LCD, the graphics 3D and the story has reached to Prince of Persia – The Forgotten Sands. For those of you who don’t know, Prince of Persia Sands of Time is the movie based on a game of the same name, and in the gaming series there are three more, Forgotten Sands being the latest. So when I came to know about POP movie being made I know I have to watch it. Continue reading “Prince Of Persia Sands of Time”
Iron Man 2
The wait for Iron Man’s sequel begun the day I watched the first movie, because I liked the movie and the sequel will be bigger and louder if not better. Although the sequel is neither louder nor bigger, am not sure about the better part, but it certainly is entertaining. Continue reading “Iron Man 2”
Let us NOT hang Kasab
He shall be hanged by neck till he is dead! That’s what Judge M.L. Tahilyani said for Ajmal Kasab, while giving the verdict almost one hand a half year later, in the 26/11 Mumbai attack case. Nothing surprising about the verdict, all have long seen it coming. Had Kasab been acquitted then it would have been a real shame for the Government, investigating agencies and of course our judicial system. But they all knew it and hence we didn’t see any such debacle in this case. But should Kasab really be hanged? Continue reading “Let us NOT hang Kasab”
Orkut is dead, Facebook is Dying!!!
I still remember the day when my friend was talking about some message he has put on some social networking site and how his school friends started commenting on it and it finally turned into a nice war of words, a battle of sexes. Apparently he was talking about orkut and I was not getting a single word he said. He sent me an invite and then I realized that I am already a user, just am not using it. That was in my graduation second year. Continue reading “Orkut is dead, Facebook is Dying!!!”
Point of No Return!!!
Its been almost a month since I made any post, it was not that I didn’t have anything to talk about, but lets just say I was not in the mood, after all college is going to end. Continue reading “Point of No Return!!!”
Fir dil do hockey ko. . .
IPL 3 began on 12th march and the Hockey world cup ended on 13th. I know most of you know about it. Not because hockey is the national game [yes it is; a little piece of information for all those who think cricket is] but because Sehwag told us. Continue reading “Fir dil do hockey ko. . .”
Smoking Kills! But that’s not the point
I recently read now there will be pictures of cancerous mouths on every cigarette pack. Another initiative of the government to discourage people from smoking, I fail to understand the sense behind these initiatives. Continue reading “Smoking Kills! But that’s not the point”
Urban youth
The world is changing rapidly and with it the population trends. When we talk about developing nations and the world population burst there are two main points to ponder; youth and urban population. Continue reading “Urban youth”
. . . .
Except a handful of people, almost everyone I know told me to watch 3 Idiots and what a great movie it is. There was a time when it became the topic of discussion not only among students but during the class as well. Teachers started coating it and of course talked about characters and incidences every now and then. It was then that I finally decided to watch the movie, and to tell you the truth I did not liked it. Continue reading “. . . .”
All back to normal, allll isz well!!!
Came Friday the 12th and went by; Sharukh’s ‘My Name is Khan’ released with pack houses and a big smile on his face. No interruption from Shiv Sena, praise for the Maharashtra CM and of course big grin on all the anti Thakrey communities on facebook, orkut, myspace. Continue reading “All back to normal, allll isz well!!!”
Am just saying!
Past few days have been very happening and it felt as if I was missing all the action due to my in-activeness. It all began with the IPL auctioning in which Pakistani players were left out. Later Shahrukh Khan criticized the incident, Shiv Sena supremo Mr. Bal Thakrey in turn criticized Shahrukh Khan and threatened the release of another Khan’s crappy movie ‘My name is Khan’. Am just saying! Continue reading “Am just saying!”

Nine75
In the New Year, it is a good idea to do something new. Well it didn’t take me 12 days to figure out about this new thing; but lazy as I am and the past record says, it always takes me longer than usual to make the first post in the New Year. Continue reading “Nine75”
Greater Good Talk
First of all Happy New Year. With New Year this year we thought of doing something new and hence in 2010 we officially kicked start www.greatergoodtalk.com

We want the users to tell us what they have in mind; what you want to know about Swami Ramdev? What you want to ask the man who single handedly gave Yoga a new life? To sum up we welcome all the questions which you always wanted to ask Swamiji; just leave a comment at http://www.greatergoodtalk.com/?p=19 , what you want this interaction to be like and we will do the rest.
