I spent some time today listening to the music of OM SHANTI OM and SAAWARIYA. I can’t really do a “music review” so I am going to just share my likes and dislikes.
Om Shanti Om
I was disappointed, very disappointed. I was expecting it to be better than Main Hoon Na also but I guess the [...]

I watched The Bourne Ultimatum and I enjoyed it very much. The third sequel in Jason Bourne’s adventure this is a well directed movie. Some of the action sequences are commendable and it really amazes how the stunt directors manage to get through without any major mishaps. There are a few scenes in which I [...]

I’ll be honest I am not a cricket freak. Watching the complete match of 50 overs is really not in my capacity. I find the game to be sometimes a bit slow very honestly even boring if the teams are not playing too well. However when the stakes are high like India Vs. Pakistan or [...]

It’s back and it’s back with a bang. And this time they even give you a song to dance to the tunes of this all so very popular TV game show - Kaun Banega Crorepati.
First of all, the promotion advert featuring the little boy was a brilliant piece of work (Anybody knows the credits for [...]

Yes, that’s how crazy the new year celebrations were. Well, we almost got into a big tussle with some locals in Lonavala - but in typical Indian style the accused walked away scot free and we had to go back to our homes satisfied with just an apology. Otherwise the rest of the trip was [...]
