‘Ranjana Ami Ar Ashbo Na’: Major Disappointment

7 comments

Watched the all new much-hyped Anjan Dutt-movie Ranjana Ami Ar Ashbo Na (official website) with Rajarshi, Saurav and Chandradeep at Priya Cinema this evening. Heard such raving reviews about it but the movie is hardly upto the mark! A good dose of antlami, a generous serving of Anjan’s melodrama and his love for the charm of Kolkata, [...]

Electronic Cigarettes: New Hope for Smokers?

When Rahul Roy Chowdhury, my bosom friend from school, told me over phone about his plans to launch electronic cigarettes in the Indian market a year ago, I din’t take him seriously. While he kept saying that it was going to be a big leap from conventional cigarettes, I was confused and found it hard to [...]

Kudos to the makers of NOKJ for staying true to the facts mostly. To see the news we have been reading for more than a decade come alive on screen was an experience indeed. The murder of Jessica Lall and the sequence of events that followed, how the influential of the society bought over the [...]

Dear lord! What is this? Is this thing meant for the visually impaired? – Mayukh De, on the New Facebook Profiles. Well if you ask me, I kind of like the profile summary that sits at the top. Languages I speak is also a welcome addition. But the design is a #FAIL! Apart from the [...]

Not a good feeling

3.30 AM: Just now a friend texted me if I was interested to go night-walking towards the Gynae building and have some tea there. On our way we spotted a boy, hardly in his teens, lying all bare on the hospital corridor with only a cement bag that hardly covered him! I cringed in shock [...]

It is that time of the year again. Makes me go turn back the pages of my diary to a year before when I had written this – The weather for the past few days is fantastic, a little warm in the day though! Oddly enough, this weather is making me feel nostalgic and what [...]
