    Back to Miranda Junction..
    Life has its own, unique, way of bringing up memories. It’s lovely when it does. Catching up with an old chum at a get-together. Revisiting the classrooms where you studied as a kid. Flipping through the yellowing pages in your old diary. Brushing the sticky dust off the framed old photographs on the wall. But it’s even better when the whole thing strikes you unexpectedly....

    Chungking Express
    There are some movies that numb you, some leave you awestruck by its novelty, some inspire you, some make you laugh your gut out, some make you cry. But, I had never fallen in love with a movie. Not until I saw Chungking Express. This is not a critique of the movie in any way. This is my love letter to Chungking Express. Very few things, let alone movies have given me...

    The times of Harvey Milk, the times we live in…
    Have you ever tried speaking while someone clutched you mouth? Did you ever lie to anyone each day of your life so that you could survive? Did you ever cuss at yourself for being what you are? Did you ever wonder why you were not normal, but deep within  the true answer betrayed the answer you wanted to listen? Were you met with the stifled giggles of your classmates...

    The Haves & Have-not of Hindi Film Industry
    I tend to do this for all the blogs I write. The topic title is something I think through lots to get it that typical eye ball grabbing and clicking need. Ok. This title is good but it’s not a write-up on Communism or a political diatribe it’s rather a topic I am facing on a daily basis and need to speak about. Why am I writing today and where the F*@k was...

    Indian Cinema is feeling Lucky.
    Edit Post: I didn’t want to write on this movie, as a lot had already been said and discussed here. But, it was hard to resist myself. Yes. The times are surely changing. And for the better. Dibakar Banerjee’s new offering sweeps you off your feet. First of all, Oye Lucky.. is not a comedy in its entirety, it is a fantastic take on the present society, people’s hollowness,...

    Dasvidaniya is a must watch!
    Dasvidaniya Movie Review I have been praying for her death. Almost everyday. The last time I met her, she could not recognize me or recall my name. I tried hard. But after few minutes, I gave up. Could not see her in that condition any more. She is quite old, completely bed-ridden with a fractured leg, has blood pressure problems and some complex disease that’s...

    The Answer Is ‘Alienation’
    Two recent obits brought back a question that I often get asked outside of India – “why does Hindi cinema continue to purvey the same formula with minimal changes to its audience and why does the audience not tire of it?” It’s a question asked on PFC on many occasions. The answer is….Wait. May be I am getting ahead of myself. First the obits: Albert Hofmann,...
