Kahaani is already being reviewed as a good movie, Celebrity tweeters and common men all have in one voice said it is a nice thriller. More than the Thriller I liked the movie for being fast paced and much shorter that usual Bollywood flicks and that it did not unnecessarily drag even a bit. The ace effort was some good casting and characters in the story. Vidya Balan fit perfectly well into the role and I guess her first role in [...]
This was my first take on the movie and my review was going to be the shortest “Agneepath was an unnecessary film”. The main reason being that you really don’t have to try and get your hand dirty on remakes just because it is a trend. But then when I thought the movie is not at all tragic like the fiasco ‘Aag’ from RamGopal Varma which still holds the top rank and is a model for film makers to know [...]
Jeremy Seiferts Documentary ‘Dive’ opens you to the world of waste. Not just waste, but waste that can solve the problems of the world. Not just any problems, but problem of hunger on which millions of dollars have been wasted in theories, solutions and contemplation. If the world can be solved by wastes, correction by the avoidance of waste, it can make every individual who wastes a contributor in the greater good. It takes a load of self realization to [...]

8 pieces of empire is a twenty year journey through the Soviet collapse. Written by Lawrence Scott Sheets who was the National Public Radio NPR’s Moscow bureau chief from 2001 to 2005. The book traces history of the region in the wake of the ten minute December 25th 1991 address that in his opinion made 300 million people ‘the citizens of other countries’ without them really realizing it. As a young correspondent in Soviet Union to being the Caucasus region [...]
I had the pleasure to read the poems of Marjorie Agosin, poet and Human Right Activist. When you read a varied set of subjects that pertain to your interests you often stumble upon something that sticks with you. Something that leave you wanting more and makes you think such that you are forced out of your own self. That is what Marjorie’s poems did to me. They pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me watch myself in [...]
Bahman Ghobadi’s “Kasi az gorbehaye irani khabar nadareh” titled in English “No One knows about Persian Cats” is a wonderful indie movie that looks at the importance of freedom to do what you love. Here it is music, Not just music but the glimpses of the underworld Rock scene in Tehran. The movie follows two musicians Negar and Ashkan who after being released from Prison want to play in a London Concert. The movie Revolves around the hurdles athey face [...]
Mustafa Akyol’s “ISLAM without Extremes” is a must read for every muslim and non-muslim. A relevant and important book for our times that takes you through the historical and political terrain on which many interpretations have been made. I hope this book will be followed by more strong voices from the liberal camp that will emerge and bring forth the needed harmony in thought and beliefs. The book comes out as a powerful cry from a devote muslim who sees [...]

What is Dirty about ‘The Dirty Picture”? Well that was the main idea, naming it that way the dirtiness if any gets covered by the name. It is true that many would have watched the movie with the same emotions when they watched a Silk movie in the 80s. At a time when heroines are more revealing than Silk in 80s Vidya has done justice to the changing times. The casting was right with Vidya Balan as she fit perfectly [...]
