Three months ago I sat in the open air section of Candies, when the first drop fell on my arm I didn’t even bother looking up- a leaky AC in the building above, an over enthusiastically pronounced word from someone’s lips- it could be anything. Casually wiping it off my arm I continued the deeply engrossing […]
Another morning when I should have been trying to sort out the mess that is my cupboard, has been spent watching bits of “I am Legend.” (Justification: I abandoned the project only after I was done with the second shelf, so I did get some work done.) Loosely based on Richard Matheson’s novel “I am Legend” […]
I’m not sure when my obsession with Zombies began. To clarify, I’m not a 14-year-old Caucasian male, and the only exposure I have had to Left 4 Dead is… well none, but there’s enough to keep my obsession well fed in so many other places. Now why Zombies, you ask? Is it the blood and […]
I read about Meter Jam in the newspaper a couple of days ago, and man! I was all in. Living in Mahim, a suburb away from Bandra is great, almost all my work-related/fun-related things happen a 15 minute ride away from home, so I can’t say I have even half the problems that Mumbaikars, for […]
I’ve been listening to Passion Pit’s Better Things on loop for the past 2 weeks. It’s one of the songs that Nick put on my ipod two years ago. Fantastic lyrics, great music, and no one hates being told that “Better things are coming…” “Change the bloody bhain-bhain, you’ve been listening to the same shit […]
When I mentioned to someone that I was going to watch Kites I got a guffaw as a response. “Didn’t you hear? It sucks.” And reviewers haven’t been good to it either. ‘Kites’ cuts its own strings by a weak story, zero chemistry, no melody, no romance, and tries to fly with the winds of […]
From Priscilla Hart’s scrapbook July 16th, 1989 Learned something interesting about the Hindu God Ram, the one all the fuss is about these days.Seems that when he brought his wife Sita back from Lanka and became King, the gossips in the kingdom were whispering that after so many months in Raavna’s captivity, she couldn’t possibly […]
My first memory of any kind of neighbor was Adrian Aunty. A large Anglo-Indian woman, who’s constantly puckered lips either had a cigarette in them, or were looking forward to their next one. Every evening, she was either at the window with a glass of port wine or tucked away in her air-conditioned bedroom playing […]
I’ve been meaning to say this for a long time, so here goes. I love Priyanka Chopra. Sure she won the Ms. World title after a wrong answer in her question-answer round. She was asked by Jerry Springer, American T.V show host, who she thought was the most successful woman living and she answered Mother […]
Michael Buble is unnecessarily cute and talented. To protest this, I have had “Just Haven’t Met You Yet” by him on loop for the past few weeks. Promise you kid, to give so much more than I get I just haven’t met you yet Ashley, my college roommate, introduced me to Michael Buble (pron:Boob-lay, I […]
