Writer’s Block, A Cure and Some Juvenile Poetry
I HAVE TO CONFESS. I’ve finally been infected. I was dreading it would happen to me someday. There’s a disease which strikes us writer’s once in a while, or may be more than just once in a while. It’s happened to a few people I’ve known. I also now know that it’s happened to so many people I’ve never known, but still somehow know, because...

Now showing at a multiplex near you
We all know that the producers boycott of multiplexes has begun and there are no new releases scheduled through out April. We’re already a few days into the strike and it won’t be long before the entire month rolls by. This is awful news for cinema fans like us but there isn’t much that we can do about it. The film fraternity must be upset too,...

The Kismet of Benjamin Button
There’s a piece of dialogue in The curious case of Benjamin Button which often gets repeated. You never know whats coming for ya. The future is always uncertain, and maybe that’s what makes us look forward to the next day. Somehow as we trudge down this walkway called life, our paths cross with others with whom our life is inexorably linked. What we do affects...

Fashion
Welcome to a peek into the world of fashion. We saw glimpses of characters from this world in Page 3. Madhur Bhandarkar now takes us further into this world, and to communicate to us that he’s researched extensively on this subject, he’s there in a scene where during a fashion show an onlooker points to him and says ‘ That’s Madhur Bhandarkar,...

Where have all the FB’s gone ?
“Ram Ram Bhaisahib” You’re standing in a crowd and you hear an unfamiliar voice call out. There are times when you have an uncanny feeling that the person is addressing you. This was one of those times. I looked around and noticed a portly, more than middle aged man dressed a dhoti kurta smiling in my direction. Ram Ram Sahib, he repeated again. It took...

Sankalan Submission : Mission Possible
HEAVY RAINS LASH MUMBAI – I found myself staring at this byline scrolling across the bottom of most TV news channels on Sunday evening, 27th July. This news had me distraught for a few minutes. I was scheduled to leave for Mumbai early next morning on a three day trip, which included amongst other things submission of scripts for the Sankalan script lab. I had...

Sam Bahadur : This Biopic will never get made…..or will it ?
A sultry July evening. Major General Surinder Pal Singh stands outside the Military cemetery in Delhi cantonment. A car pulls over, the young man driving it opens the front door. Gen. Singh quickly gets in, relieved to get away from the oppressive heat. ” Hi, Dad. You look awfully exhausted. What made you venture out in such weather?” “Mandy,...

From Serials To Sequels : kyunki film bhi kabhi serial thi
I had to watch Sex And The City last week. I had been waiting for the movie. By the way, I had never seen the series when it was telecast on HBO, so I wasn’t a die-hard fan of the four young women and their escapades. I had to see it for professional reasons as I wanted to check out the dresses worn by the characters in the movie. While standing in the ticket...
