Getting a ‘Kick’ out of ……….

No Friday evening goes without a debate at home, “What movie should we watch— search, selection & rejection goes for almost an hour and sometimes we both don’t agree on anything and skip movie night. I blame it on Netflix, Amazon prime databases….it was easier for my parents to just watch one Sunday Movie in DD….

Steady Gaze – Endearing or Malicious ??

“Well, keep this as a secret for now, I don’t want to share this with everyone, you know – some people and their bad eyes” “I prefer to tell it after it happens, I don’t want any bad luck tailing behind.” “I knew this will not happen, I can still remember that stare at me…

A Journey through Jigsaw Puzzles

Long sleepless flight journeys could be tiring,  but the best part is I enjoy the undisturbed movie marathon. Sometimes random search leads to some really good movies that are not very popular.

Am I proud to be an Indian?

If some one asks me this I don’t have a single answer , my response will change based on time and context! I am sure by now there will be at-least a few patriotic, fuming Indians calling me “ traitor “ or there could already be a set of officials checking my background based on…
