Ray – My Movie Experience
Ray. Satyajit Ray has always been an enigma for me. Long before the movie maker Ray made his way into my heart, it was his stories that hooked me up. I grew up reading Feluda, Tarini Khuro, Prof Shanku and his other short stories. All those short stories had a common...
Movie Review : Haseen Dilruba
So you have got the perfect recipe and ingredients of biriyani and also the Chinese fried rice. What should you do? I don’t know about you, but if it is Vinil Mathew then probably he would just mix all of them and cook a ‘khichdi’. Yes, I am talking about the latest...

The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa – Book Reading Experience:
Has it ever occurred to you after reading a book that you have so much to say about it that you just cannot find the right words? I am in that exact state. This is my third attempt at writing how this book made me feel(this is no review, I cannot write reviews). The...
Whereabouts By Jhumpa Lahiri: A reading experience
It is just scattered musings of an unnamed protagonist in an unnamed city which reads like poetry in the disguise of prose. The almost plotless book is divided into small chapters woven by a common thread, life of the narrator in a year.
