  • Howard Stern
    I have been meaning to write about Howard Stern for a while. He is an American media Mogul, shock jock,author,super intelligent yet he can be outright disgusting and give you the heebejeebees with his bullshit and outrageous subject matter. He is the highest paid and also the most penalised personality in american broadcast business.Today, millions of Americans(from...

  • Mere Apne
    Flashback to 1975, a 12 year old boy and his 8 year old sister waiting patiently at a Ramlila ground in the outskirts of Bhopal for a “sadak chhap” movie to begin. The movie- “MERE-APNE”, starring Meena Kumari, Vinod Khanna, Shotgun Sinha and the regulars during early 70’s. When I say regular, all movies had Asrani, Paintal, Danny Denzongpa,...

  • A tribute to Prem Naseer- Evergreen Hero of yesteryears.
    You wanted low budget, commercial movies?-Prem Naseer doled out 100’s of them, over 700 to give a ballpark figure. Cine Goers loved him, especially women who loved the tear jerker family dramas he acted in with Sheela, Sharada and Jayabharati.

  • Happy Feet- The kids got suckered on this one!!
    I wonder if Sirjee and Betelal have watched “Happy Feet” yet. I am pretty sure Sirjee would whack Betelal on his head for getting aroused and lusting for a bosomy female penguin after watching this movie.
