    Avaze Gonjeshk-ha: a Face and a Camera
    There’s something batshit insane about Majid Majidi’s The Song of Sparrows (my first experience of Majidi). Don’t get me wrong; I love the movie. It is one of the most down-to-earth movies I’ve ever seen, but it has a sort of manic energy you don’t see in American, or Indian or British, cinema. Personally, I hadn’t seen anything like this before. While both...

    Sneakers that Fly!!
    What does a pair of sneakers mean to me? I am well settled money wise and it simply means a 2 minute decision in the nearby ‘Payless’ to buy or not to. However there was a time in my life when a ‘canvas shoe’ meant a lot to me. It reflected my self esteem.

    Pasanga- for the child in each one of us
    All of us have been kids at some point of time. We have all had our moments of glory, moments of frustration, moments of success, moments of failures etc during our childhood. And barring certain exceptions I’m sure most of us look back with great satisfaction and happiness when we reminisce over our childhood days.

    Baran: A tale about pure love
    Some anonymous person has said, Its love, its love that makes the world go round. Love may even happen in most strange situations. Some other person has said, Take love away from life and you take away its pleasure. It can be said further that love carries the person on the first step of a ladder so that he can start his journey upwards. First time, some one enters...

    Children of Heaven- Innocent emotions in motion
    A month back my friend asked me to join him for a movie at his place. It was an Iranian movie by a director unknown to me. Frankly speaking I am not a big fan of Irani movies. With lots of cajoling and pushing I sat down in his TV room to watch this flick called Children of Heaven. The next 80 minutes completely blew me off. It was my privilege to spend the next 80 minutes...

    Lots of soul, lots of heart – that’s what Tahaan is
    Kashmir has never been captured on celluloid so magnificently. What’s new in that, when Santosh Sivan is the cinematographer, you might ask. Sivan has this innate capacity to capture the character of the locations he shoots his or others films in. But you have to watch Tahaan to find out what I mean. So many films have been shot in Kashmir over the years, from those...
