A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
When I was a child, summer holidays were partly spent at my grandmothers' homes and part of the time was spent in exploring touristy and slightly off-beat destinations in and around wherever my father was posted at the time. Travelling 6-7 hours in 40 degrees plus temperatures (Celsius mind you) without air conditioning in the... Continue Reading →
Somethings are best left the way they are. Jurassic Park should have ended when they left Isla Whatsit with John Hammond. Julianne Moore was a very discordant note in the second sequel. William H.Macy and Tea Leoni were more believable but the real heroes of the movie were the dinosaurs each time around. But they... Continue Reading →
The offspring has a new love- IPL. He doesn't really get the mechanics of cricket barring people throwing a ball and someone trying to hit it or get out trying. Those are my genes at play so he can't be held responsible. With IPL, the format is perfect for his attention span and it's livelier,... Continue Reading →
Note: Contains spoiler This movie was massively awaited by me, MLM and a group of friends who team up and watch the superhero movies together and eat a good amount of nachos and popcorn in the bargain. After a near miss of the entire movie due to a mix-up about where it was supposed to... Continue Reading →
Dropping the "i" from the title didn't provide much relief to the Karni Sena am guessing, but it certainly generated more buzz around an already buzzing hive of wasps and hornets. But getting back to the movie- it's epic! In its grandiosity, its conception and sadly, its mediocrity. And yet, it still works. And how!... Continue Reading →
I have a great memory for useless trivia. I have a pretty good memory for remembering everything my husband didn't do but should have. I also have a pretty strong recall for little things with the help of even vague-ish associative cues et al...but getting to the fag end of my 30s, my (declining) memory... Continue Reading →
I love technology. It has no boundaries. The scope of it ranges from the little to the humongous. And that's really saying something. I have a sick kid at home who's been using his "I'm sick" status as a Get Out Of Jail card. I've been annoyed, short tempered and most desperately in need of... Continue Reading →
I've written earlier about the advent of Alexa in our lives. Red was in the market for good quality speakers and was considering buying Sonos and then suddenly got his head turned by the cute lil dot that now talks to us in a STRONG American accent and frequently gets our song choices wrong because...

This movie is Prosit Roy's love affair with the older parts of Calcutta, the bits that make it stand apart from every other city in India. It is strangely enough, also an ode to the nail cutter and umbrellas. Never has the humble implement of hand and foot hygiene received so much spotlight neither, for... Continue Reading →
What *not* to watch. Unless it's a dare.
