Last week I noticed this huge locker at Churchgate station. It's an advertising prop for Reliance Mutual Fund. It says "Unlock your money's potential". I think it was interesting but didn't seem to like the execution a lot - could have been produced better I felt. But I must say it's big and should have… Continue reading Reliance Mutual Fund’s huge locker

Vidya Balan is wonderful in Bhool Bhulaiyaa
Warning: This post is a spoiler for the film Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Please don't read further if you haven't seen this movie. The movie is not something really to write about, it's rather slow and at times gets boring. And I am not surprised why those little elements of comedy were added in there - just… Continue reading Vidya Balan is wonderful in Bhool Bhulaiyaa

Movie Review: Jab We Met
I am not a Kareena Kapoor fan and Jab We Met was not really on my To Watch list. However thanks to some friends I went along and I am glad we watched this film.

Keep Mumbai Clean: But how?
Last evening we were taking a stroll at Marine Drive, better known as the Queen's necklace. Although we didn't walk much we drove past the stretch. One of the things which I realized was that in the recent refurbishment plans that Marine Drive underwent they seem to have forgotten one small but important bit -… Continue reading Keep Mumbai Clean: But how?

Manish talks about the LMI (Last Mile Idea) which brings a smile on the customer's face.

ObjectDock This is a little hidden bar at the top or bottom of your screen which when triggered gives you a complete menu of application/folder icons to quickly access them without having to bother going to the Start> All Programs… Continue reading Access files & programs quickly
Ad Pick: Amway
Amway hit the idiot box with it's first TV commercial. I like the script and execution. What's interesting is that the ad has been put on youtube by AmwayQuixtar. An attempt to have the video on the internet's most popular channel. Good move.
