“Amreeka is how real Punjabis pronounce ‘America’” says Atulya Mahajan in his “Amreekandesi – Masters of America“, a 310 page opus chronicling of the lives and times of a group of Indian students roughing it out it the US of A trying to make their dreams come true while describing life in America in general…
We all know that the answer to the ultimate question is 42. But if you are a Malayali (Mallu for short) this answer will not be enough. Because unlike the ‘general’ ultimate question, the ultimate Mallu question is known and has been haunting Malayalis for years of their waking lives, night and day, while drunk and…
Please be noting: Below post does not apply to Cricket. Thank You. We Indians have this strange habit of asking the same question over and over again, especially so when we already know its answer. (Doubt? Watch some of the ‘expert panel debates’ on any news channel). Despite being well-answered, we ask these anyway and then answer…
Moonraker takes the “exoticness” of James Bond to literally new heights, when he hits Outer Space to save the World. An odd entry in the franchise, the 11th 007 movie combines the sexyness of 1979 Sci-fi with that of James Bond, generating a kind of fare that is remarkably awesome and absurd in equal parts….
The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has a long and illustrious history that precedes even the state of Kerala or India. It starts in 1937 when the Travancore State Transport Department was constituted by HH Sree Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma, the Maharaja of Travancore. The first buses were imported from England. Post independence the TSTD was incorporated as an…
Indian children are taught weather changes as per western seasons. Just another example of the clueless education Indian system.
Watched the financial-thriller-drama movie “The Big Short” the other day. As you might already know, the movie is on the sub-prime crisis of 2007-08 and resulting Great Recession, about four guys who looked around and predicted that the US housing market was a bubble which would crash in the imminent future, taking banks and the…
1,070,523,801 – The number of views the path-breaking, mother of all viral-videos, never-seen-in-human-or-alien-history “Oppa Gangnam Style” video had amassed at the time of writing this post. Phenomenal! Astounding! A Billion views! 100 Crores! If this is not success in these digital times, though it may sound mediocre, what is? In ancient times, success was measured…
Sidin Vadukut is back with the Dork, and the Dork is exactly as we remember him! “God save the Dork” is the sequel to the highly successful “Dork: The Incredible Adventures of Robin ‘Einstein’ Varghese.” There are few people who can write comedy with the flair that Vadukut does, and he excels at it again…
Bollywood these days seems to be delivering more bombs than US drones manage to drop on Afghanistan. (The suits who run Bollywood must be wondering why even getting Akshay Kumar wear yellow rimmed glasses does not cut it anymore). It won’t be long before they decide to go back to the seemingly easier route: Remake…
One of the channels of outrage in the aftermath of the brutal, inhuman violation, assault by six men and subsequent death of the 23-year old lady in Delhi was directed at an unexpected target: The Indian Punjabi rapper Honey Singh (Yo! Yo! Honey Singh). It started on the internet first and on the ground later…
This is a real incident that happened a couple of days back. It was a lazy afternoon and I was on a 500C (ITPL – Banashankari) Bangalore BMTC Volvo bus, traveling from Whitefield to Marathahalli. That was when this dude, around 25-ish years of age, adorned with a Software company ID card all all got…
