Bollywood doesnt know finance

In case if you have seen any of the following movies then you will agree with me that almost all the protagonists in Bollywood do not know what are the different debt instruments available in the market these days. Take the movie Om Jai Jagdish, or Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke … or any movie ...

A Study in Pink

A Study in Pink
As a child, I was a fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his novels. Aside from the Sherlock Holmes set of mysteries, Sir Doyle has also written thousands of short stories … the Black Panther being one of my favourite. Sherlock Holmes as always is a classic. The way in which he explained everything ...

Dune

Dune
This is by far one of my favorite sci-fi novel series. I have read Asimov, but Frank Herbert (and his son in later parts) have really put together an interesting universe with Dune. If you haven’t read the book, I highly recommend that you read the entire series. It was with great anticipation that I ...

Why this Kolaveri Di? 3

I am sure that by now most of you have heard of this song. If you haven’t yet heard the song, then do give this video a look-see - There is a huge hype around this song, for a multitude of reasons - It’s written and sung by the son-in-law of Rajnikanth The main keyword ...

Singham 1

Singham
Yesterday was the world premier of the movie Singham, starring Ajay Devgan.

3 idiots & i-become 11

3 idiots & i-become
I read Chetan Bhagat’s novel, enjoyed it … but sadly the book lacked a certain message. It’s either that or it’s been 3 years and I dont remember the book very well. 3 idiots is a stark contrast. The basic plot is the same, but once you go in the details, both the stories are ...

Technology 2

It amazes me to what extent technology can amaze people. The sheer amount of possibilities it opens up for them … the happiness and surprise that you can see on their faces, it’s a treat to watch. It’s almost akin to the expression of when aborigines first discovered fire … the expression of … “ohh!! ...

Star Trek 3

Star Trek
If you are a trekkie, then you have to watch this movie. The main difference between all movies made previously and this one, is about how the legend was born instead of some one off story about the legend. Seeing James T Kirk become James T Kirk was indeed a treat. PS – This is ...
