There have been serious discussions (almost leading to nerds hitting each other) about the titles of the Rambo films: First film was named First Blood. Second, Rambo: First Blood, Part II. Third, Rambo III. Fourth, Rambo IV or John Rambo. The problem is with the naming of the third film, …
Today’s corporate India is getting greedier as each financial year passes. This is true for the private multi-nationals both which originated within India and outside and the government companies which hire staff on contract since their permanent staff can’t be exploited as much.

If Indians and Pakistanis believe in geographical eras, we will have to remind ourselves to try really hard to separate ourselves from each other because about 100 million years ago the mighty Gondwana continent tried to separate our land masses but was unable to do so, so dum laga ke …

Hatred only brings more hated and solves nothing. That has always been the case and will always be.
Richard Attenborough (a British) was trying to make a movie on Gandhi’s life since 1962, we made a movie on the father of our nation in 1996 and people are pissed about the fact that Ben Kingsley (half Indian) played the role of Gandhi.’ I guess we Indian filmmakers should …
Call your college buddies, say your name, ask how are you, and then say, you are in the Metro, there is a network issue and disconnect; that way they can’t say that you don’t ever call them Peek outside the glass and count the no. of trees on the ground …

If as per media, there’s going to be a nuclear bomb exploding on India, here’s what I want of those Indians expats who will survive and have the survivor’s guilt: 1. Sundar Pichai: Close Google search engine for a day. 2. Satya Nadella: Do not build Windows 11. 3. Aziz …
Indian political parties are depressing or should I say a perfect reflection of the current society.
I have always been intrigued by the fact that when a terrorist attack happens in a developed country, our FB walls are flooded with posts and discussions with everybody voicing their opinions but when the same happens in a developing or an under-developed country, I rarely see any posts. Just …

Kabootar Jackson, ye hai, Kabootar Jackson, Tumhe pata nahin par ye bada funny hai pigeon, Kabootar Jackson, ye, Kabootar Jackson. Ye Moon-Walk nahin, Munder-walk …

Finally had the courage to watch Charlie Kaufman’s ‘Synecdoche, New York’ after almost 6 years of the film being in my possession. It is an achingly depressing film with pitiable characters. It is also one of the best films I have seen till date; a masterpiece for the lack of …
India has won 2 golds at 2016 Paralympics. A few weeks ago, #PiersMorgan wanted to donate a million rupees to charity if India won another gold before England wins Cricket WC. He can do that now, can’t he? Oh! but obviously he will chicken out saying that he bet on …
