While all the media hype focuses on Sivaji, the Thalaivar has made sure that he will not go off the loop completely once the buzz over Sivaji dies down. This is surprising, given there is usually a big lull and uncertainty about the next Rajni movie until it, in fact, gets announced. People speculate if […]

Patrix has tagged me and so like, a lot of these blog related formalities go, I should oblige. Moreover, this tag was pretty harmless without my need to reveal anything embarrassing, hence my decision to quickly get done with it. So before I go ahead with it, here are the rules:
1. Each player starts with […]

The past week has sure been busy and I had a lot of things going on. Academically that is. Although that didn’t stop me from blogging, on the other blog.
For those not aware, I had started a football fan blog dedicated to Manchester United: Red Rants. Of course, thanks to Ahmed from Soccerlens for […]

I was planning to write a review on Sivaji - The Boss for some time now. (For those living under a rock all this while, that is Rajnikanth’s latest movie to hit the screens). But enough has already been written about it, so I will not make this a pure review per se. I’ll pepper […]

Well I don’t know how to react to this. The thought of her featuring in a show that I love does not sound totally bad to me, but she will play Shanti Suresh (Mohinder’s sister) who apparently was dead according to the first season. No doubt, the writers will concoct something out of the blue […]

Among the few regular commenters on this blog, Amit/Etherdust was a senior of mine in my undergrad days and a good friend. He has a blog that mostly talks about stuff related to music. Of course his posts are more known for their start-and-you-finish levels of brevity but that’s not the point anyway. He claims […]

I am expecting this piece of news to make it big in the Indian media. Lakshmi Mittal (yeah that steel guy) is apparently linked with a possible takeover of English Premier League football club Birmingham. I remember the frenzy when Baichung Bhutia moved to third division side Bury.
For those who don’t follow football that much […]

Graham Ford has declined the Indian coaching job. Kent seemed a much better place to be.
In a way I am happy because it was a nice slap in the face for Gavaskar. (for ruling out Whatmore) Of course, some people think Vishwanath is going to be the next coach. Which would make cricket fun again. […]

I went for a couple of movies over the past week. The first one was Knocked Up and the other one, Ocean’s Thirteen.
I kinda liked Knocked Up. It had everything you could ask for from your average summer romantic comedy. The chance encounters of the boy and girl. The stark contrasts in their respective lifestyles. […]
