Delhi 6

I know there are a lot of negative reviews on Delhi 6 already, so I’ll try not to just add on those. Most of what those reviews say are fairly true. At the same time, my taste in movies tends to be very different from the mainstream and I look for different things, so I [...]

Oscars and Other Things…

I loved the Oscars. I love the new structure…with previous winners congratulating each nominee and announcing the winner. I think that’s such a nice touch and it clearly means a lot to everyone nominated. I’m a devout Oscar-watcher but it was getting really tiring last year so it was good to mix it up. Hugh [...]

NaNoWriMo!

I’ve joined the 2008 NaNoWriMo! What better thing to do at 3 in the morning when you’re clearly in a very sane state of mind?
I believe in signs, and Javabeans posting about it on her open thread was sign enough. A push, rather, or a direct shaking that I needed, at least it [...]

Diwali :)

Diwali in HK was disappointingly quiet. I was nostalgic for all the Diwalis spent with family, for all the Diyas with friends, for all the khana and mithai and lights and laughter and communal prayers. Not only did I not get to go to the temple for aarti because I had class, I’ve also had [...]

Currently playing on my list…

The Indian music industry went through a reformation in my personal opinion in the last few years, and going back to it after a small break I was able to appreciate a lot of the new work. The opportunities for new talent has proven to be a great thing, and I for one have really [...]
