Last 2 weeks were real busy and hence I did not find the time to blog. For those of you who visited my blog and did not find anything new.....I apologise and at the same time thank you for visiting my blog.

I had my cousins home last weekend and although initially I made many plans to take them out, all didn't work out well, because it was raining real hard in Mumbai.

I actualy didn't know what to do, so we ended up in a multiplex (Movie Theatre) and for the first time, I watched two movies on one single day back to back.

The movie which I watched and thouroughly enjoyed is Batman- The Dark Knight. A Super-Duper film and I recommend you go and watch this film.....you will enjoy it for sure.

This is one of the best Batman movies I have ever seen. The Joker who is the bad boy (the so called Villian) in the film has done a good job...Kudos to late Heath Ledger's who inacted the role of the Joker. It is sad that this was Heath Ledger's last performance. That's Batwoman for you.....The woman power!!!





This movie actually blew me away. There are some fantastic dialogues in the film, here are a few I can recollect,

  1. The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming!
  2. If you're good at something, never do it for free.
  3. The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules. And tonight you're gonna break your one rule.
  4. I use a knife because guns are too quick. Otherwise, you can't savor all the emotions. You know who people are in their last moments.
  5. You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
  6. You see, nobody panics when things go according to plan. Even if the plan is horrifying. If I told people that a gangbanger was going to get shot, or a busload of soldiers was going to get blown up, nobody would panic. It's all part of the plan. But tell people that one tiny little mayor is going to die and everyone loses their minds! Sometimes, truth isn't good enough, sometimes people deserve more.
  7. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.
So if you haven't watched this film yet......you are missing on something...A fanstastic story telling by Nolan....and a complete thriller...

Salutations to Whistleblowers in today's vicious world

Expose the oppressor, give voice to the voiceless Wouldn’t you want to speak & listen to the truth and deal with honest people 24x7/365 days a year; wouldn’t you want to expose intelligence and unlawful information, for public scrutiny so that the guilty are punished; wouldn’t you want to see the world as a peaceful place where every human being enjoys their constitutional rights of freedom, equality, and justice. Just wished a big-hearted genie would be generous enough to grant me my three wishes…I would have surely asked for these three wishes, provided people in the whole wide world mirror the same principles. Can I keep the commandments in the real world? I don’t think so! A lone individual cannot obey the commandants of ethical behaviour all by herself while the rest of the world does what pleases them. And even if he decides to be undeceiving, he probably would be tricked and duped and be taken to his grave even before his time comes. They say, “When in Rome, do as the ...

Go lush green…Go Mahabaleshwar

Go Mahabaleshwar    I’m just back after my short trip to lush green Mahabaleshwar and all that I want to do right now is to share the stuff I did while I was on this vast green plateau (of about 150 sq. kms) on which you can guarantee yourself bouts of clean and non-polluted oxygen 24x7, 365 days a year. This was not the first time I visited Mahabaleshwar…but perhaps I made merrier this time because the timing seemed just right. I must say, that visiting this heavenly hill station in the winters is more rewarding that any other season of the year.  Feels like heaven Our tour from Mumbai towards Mahabaleshwar enroute Pune started on a dark cold Wednesday night via road. The journey was smooth but the cold hilly dark weather almost sent shivers down my spine leaving my set of 32 teeth trembling. It was chill chill really chill with temperatures touching 3-4C in the night and about 8-10 C in daylight. We almost fell in love with the hot sun during those cold days in Mahab...

The dimpled youth icon of India goes local

I’m just back after escorting my sister to the airport, who departed from Mumbai this evening, on a short holiday to be part of the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF). Wow! I just wish I could join her to ‘Do-buy’ in Dubai, but certain commitments at hand, let this linger as my wishful thinking. After my brief airport quickie, I thought I would be able to make it to my scheduled evening lecture today…but to my misfortune I got late for that as well. Ahh…well, so I thought I should use my earned time to write my views about Rahul Gandhi’s charming & exciting stopover in Mumbai today. Doing a somersault Rahul Gandhi is his capacity as Congress General Secretary visited Mumbai today and was scheduled to greet students in Vile Parle in North Mumbai, and then fly in a chopper to Ghatkopar to meet the residents of a Dalit slum. But Rahul baba (the future of Indian politics) flip-flopped his entire schedule by travelling in a local train to Ghatkopar impromptu, leaving his security m...
