Film Review: Bajirao Mastani
Two big releases on the weekend - Dilwale & Bajirao Mastani. With limited work load, I was determined to catch at least one of them before it was too late.

Answering the “What do you want in life?” question
The answer to “What do you want in life” would be most often answered in objectives - A good house, fancy car, lovely long holidays and more.
