Every self-respecting department in a growing organisation has defined standard operating processes (SOP). The problem is simple. Most of the process were created when the organisation was of a different size, operating in a zone with market dynamics that may not be now relevant. However, like religious rituals and family traditions, they remain unchallenged. In… Read More »

None of us have any doubt that ‘love’ as an emotion has a vast canvas and vignettes that is tough to understand. My picking of this book is a result of being a sucker for short stories. I picked it from Mumbai Airport, when one of the flights, I was destined to take was delayed… Read More »
Even Badshah Khan’s performance and the underplayed role of Nawazuddin Siddiqui fail to lift ‘RAEES’. Badshah Khan fails to deliver on hyper expectations. The first half is a bit enjoyable. However, it suffers from same issues that make second-half a drag. The whole film is fragmented episodic linear progression with jerky transitions. Mahira Khan, the… Read More »

How could I hold myself back after reading my favourite author of horror stories Stephen King’s comment. He says ‘it is an electrifying read… I haven’t read anything… Read More »

Are egos involved? The industry most likely will answer with a loud YES. I believe in a simpler truth. They… Read More »
A semi cooked not so perfect psychological thriller. It has a dated, read somewhere kind of feel. Maybe, I have been suffering the after-effects of reading too much. The plot is full of characters drawn together to fit a jigsaw puzzle. Pity, the readers complete it with many pieces yet to be picked. It is… Read More »
