Ganpati Bappa...Morya
 Ganpati Bappa…Morya  “Aai, please let me play, all of my friends must have reached the ground already!” Apu pleaded with his mother.  “Finish your homework first, only then you can go,” Aai replied.  “Pleeeeaseeeeeee…….my lovely mother, my sweet mother,” Apu unleashed his weapon of flattery mixed with innocence that always worked with his mother. ... more...

Dil-Vil Pyar-Vyar: A True Story

Chak De Bollywood
A Bollywood flick? Of course not….Chak De India defies all logic or commercial formula that has been prevailed in filmdom from past six decades. To count, it doesn’t have a pair lead, no mushy-mushy dialogues (A must in Shahrukh movies), hero not running after heroine around trees, no item number from some hottie, no space for villain in the script... more...

Death of a Soldier
Braving the scorching heat and stifling air, Kartar Singh, slowly walked into the Police Station. His awkward shadow, wobbling when his only hand tired of the crutch, followed him dejectedly. Armed with helplessness; he desperately tried to make sense of his life. An unemployed man burdened with physical disability—what will become of him? For him,... more...

Life - The Rollercoaster Ride
  As she rolled down the tinted glass of her Morris Minor car, she could see far from the flyover that the Metro was all decked up like a bride. Ribbons of flashing lights crisscrossed its art deco facades; there was a big crowd waiting for the stars to arrive. Waiting for her. She felt the slight chill in the December night. She rolled the glass u... more...

The Midnight adventure..
Simple Life  It was a cold and chilly winter night in Bangalore. At 9.30 pm I set out to travel some 30 kilo meters on my bike. Some voice inside me kept yelling, “Are you crazy?

‘Eating the Earth’!
 Eating meat, dairy and eggs threatens our planet.You use much less land and water if you eat crops directly. Animals use most of the protein they eat to live, not 'grow' meat.
