A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
The first thing that strikes you about this movie is that Indian film makers are more than capable of churning out good flicks without the whole song and dance routine that seems to encapsulate Bollywood movies as a genre. Badla (Revenge) is a prime example of that. An adaption of the Spanish movie The Invisible... Continue Reading →
Monday to Friday my child looks at me as the incarnation of the Wicked Witch of the West+her flying monkeys all rolled into one. Weekends I do the same to him when he gets up before I want him to. Cue Elton John singing 'Circle Of Life' in the background.
Verdict: Spare yourself. Seriously. Sharks are beautiful creatures with rows of serrated teeth and soulless eyes that would scare the bejesus out of anyone who saw them up close and personal. But they are worthy of that respect that comes with fear. They aren't the Jason or Freddy of the scary creature movie world. They... Continue Reading →
Caffeine is defined as 'an alkaloid compound which is found especially in tea and coffee plants and is a stimulant of the central nervous system.'I, on the other hand, would call it the life-giving and life-sustaining elixir which enables me to tolerate my fellow man, open my eyes in the morning without wishing a piano...

In the last couple of years my reading material has been fairly unchanging. It's been the likes of John Sandford (love his work), Carl Hiaasen (cannot get enough of it) and some new authors I came across courtesy the Kindle store. Amongst them Jana DeLeon stood out because while her work wasn't "hardcore literature" it wasn't silly... Continue Reading →

Fast forward a couple of years when colloquialisms rule the roost. There are differences... Continue Reading →
For everyone who's been told something's impossible, unattainable and to get their head out of the clouds because reality bites; Gully Boy is the answer. Zoya Akhtar's latest offering takes us deep into Dharavi, without any of the gore and gristle but without adding any glitter either. Ranveer Singh (Murad) shows how deeply he can...

TO has an accent. We're not sure which country it belongs to. It's a relic mishmash of whatever animated programs he's grown up watching. He, however, doesn't know Hindi; a language he loves listening to songs in. His pronunciations are decidedly foreign and poor dear Alexa often has problems deciphering what he wants. The new...

Kids extrapolate things based on their own frame of references. Mine does it quite a bit and even more so with words of a different language. He loves music and at different times we have played hosts to quite a few different earworms of his. One of his old favorites reemerged due to a shuffle in his... Continue Reading →
Isn't tough. It gets switched on almost from the time they are born but liking them every single minute of every day, that takes some doing. Imagine seeing this gorgeous sunrise and feeling at peace with the world at large... when suddenly 'Pig gam ba li, de la pig gam ba li ba Pig gam ba... Continue Reading →
