What’s with these reality shows!?! The ones with no nataks, less blabber and real talent lack lusture. Low TRPs kill them. The ones with contestants being insulted, abused, shedding gallons of tears at the drop of a hat, do well. It’s not the show’s problem. It’s us the janta! We love to watch people cry. [...]

I stumbled upon this website a while ago and I can’t stop grinning. It’s got a fabulous collection of videos, commercials and theme songs from yesteryear’s…from the Doordarshan era. I grew up watching all this on television

HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE
I am Adam, Prince of Eternia, defender of the secrets of Castle Greyskull.
This is Cringer, my fearless friend.
Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic
sword and said:
“By the power of Greyskull”
HE-MAN!
“I have the power!”
Cringer became the mighty Battle Cat.
And I became He-Man, the [...]

Mom and I went to Globus today to watch Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. I have always loved that place. The shopping and the cinema area bring back memories of times to be cherished.
I liked the movie. It was one of those rare flicks that make me not make a face at Shah Rukh Khan. [...]

Went for a play called JAZZ at Prithvi Theatre with Bharath and his mom. Aunty is a darling
Excerpts from the Prithvi Theatre newsletter
The play, based on the research of Naresh Fernandes, is written by Ramu Ramanathan and directed by Etienne Coutinho. It is a wonderful explosion of a rich musical genre. An Indian [...]

I’m zonked! I’ve found a new addiction and its LOST. By LOST, I mean the popular TV series starring Mathew Fox, Evangeline Lily, Naveen Andrews, etc. (I never bothered watching before). Like I’ve always said, I’m not a t.v. person but now this show has got me completely hooked. We’ve got our hands on season [...]

I was there! I, finally, was there! It was like being in a magical spell. I am glad I got this once in a life time opportunity. It’s just sinking in today and I still have that grin from yesterday – for having been able to make it, watching the man himself – in the [...]

Rakhi Sawant – apni bollywood ki item girl, had been for Mika’s birthday party where she smashed cake on the birthday boy. Being the Punjabi munda that he is, Mika kissed Rakhi. This [...]
