Will Cricket Survive?

“Kaun jeeta” – Probably the most commonly question asked minutes after the match… for years the answer I most expected to hear is – India. But when the urban youth asks this question, India is most definitely not what he is expecting. What he expects is Man United, Arsenal, Barc… Oh you get the drift. The world order is changing swiftly and Cricket is no longer the only match on the tube. Player stats, goals, assists and transfers are discussed and debated with gusto and 90 minutes of time is all that young India has to invest in sport.

The Movie Theory

Caught Players last week and what a learning it was. No really, a dummies as it were for what not to do with a remake.  Ra1 too was learning for what not to do with a super hero film… ditto with Don2.  Watching these films has convinced me of the genres that we can mess with and those that we can’t.

Its a bird… Its a plane.. It’s a Super Hero

Have always been fascinated by science fiction.. Whether the tons of SFX films I saw as a kid was the reason why technology fascinates me even today, I cannot tell, but the magic of SFX laden movies enthrall me even today. As most kids do, you always see yourself as one of the lead actors or then try to figure which Indian actor could pull that stunt off.

All in a day’s work !

Its a great time to be in India..  Even better if you are in Mumbai. Life’s a blur at most times and multitasking is child’s play. Had cancelled a meet yesterday with a friend whom I did meet today. He popped an innocent question.. .. what did u do yesterday? busy?  What it did was to send me into a virtual flashback for a couple of seconds. Literally like hundreds of screenshots of life as I lived it yesterday, whom I spoke to and my thoughts which radically differed within seconds. Spies lead double lives.. most people in cities live as though they have MPD’s. ( multiple personality disorders).

A little bit of this… A little bit of that

Travelled a lot last year… before buying my DSLR. So, wondered what happens when we   use Lightroom for images taken from a 6 MP camera. So here are a chosen few from trips to Corbett, Nainital, Singapore and Munnar.
