I think it's time I reboot this blog. Been away from writing a while and off late I think I should get back to it. I spend so much time on my computer, this would give some validation to that. Let's recap a bit. What all has happened since I was last here. Arjun and Tanya got married. Krishna and Raji got married.Dev and Cheryl got married and had a baby.Salonee studied some more got married and

Directed by Michael Mann who directed some masterpieces like Collateral, Ali, The Insider, HEAT and my fav The Last of The Mohicans (w00t DDL), Public Enemies had some tremendous buzz going for it. Why? you ask me, I reply Why the hell not! Johnny Depp & Christian Bale pitted against each other.

Listening to Sarthak on Hit 95 fm. "Delhi's freshest Radio Station" He's a funny guy with all the right comments and that pep which you require to keep the listener hooked.

This past weekend as I was scrolling through my vast database of movies trying to figure out what i would like to watch, i remembered having promised myself to find the time and patience to watch some of the drama (read serious) movies which i had so as to strike them off my list. After pondering for a long time i was stuck in between Sweeney Todd and There Will Be Blood. After a quick

It tells of a battle that was underway at this restaurant called Prem's in Pune.

For the longest time i have been saying that I am gonna be leaving 59PC. Well now its happened. I am officially no longer a resident of 59PC. I am curently residing at the "Menon Mansion". :DPeople tell me its an upgrade. I don't disagree. However, there are certain mitigating factors which make this move bittersweet. I hope to cover most of them as I ramble on. Sure it's a bigger house but

You know, the past few days I have been wondering how I could give 59PC a great sendoff. How could it be memorable. Well last night/early this morning all that became irrelevant. My dearest friends are engaged and believe it or not, 59PC had a big hand to play.Arjun Mohanrao and Tanya Thamburaj are officially engaged.

Well good day to you folks. This morning as i was going to get ready for work, i realised the date was 9th January. It is doomsday. My head began thinking of the verbal abuses i would be receiving over the next few weeks and months. I had to still find out how much i had screwed up so i went to look for my admit card.

This past week I was surfing channels on the idiot box when i thought of this post. Like quite a few of my posts i hope to make this part of a series. I am going to list out a few scenes from famous/infamous movies or tv shows which i can watch over and over and over again.

When i first heard about "Recount" I didnt read the review. I just looked at the picture and found out who all were there in it. I was intrigued why stellar actors like Kevin Spacey, John Hurt, Tom Wilkinson, Laura Dern and Dennis Leary were acting in a TV movie. Okay fine, Dennis Leary is no stellar actor, i love his song "a$$hole" though. I also learnt that this was made for HBO. I knew

First up, this post is not a "Philosophical" one, where i talk about "Life". It just so happens that one of the better shows i came across on american television is called "LIFE". Even google search results are weird :)Life is a cop show, but is old school. No high-tech gadgetry to help solve cases.

I will cover most Genre's except for Reality Shows!'Til Death is filmed in front of a Studio audience! are the words after the opening credits! Like most shows, there is a small scene prior to the credits that lays premise to the episode.

Also known to host movie premieres as well as preview shows, its a place where booze tends to find its own way in not to

VCDVCD is an mpeg1 based format, with a constant bitrate of 1150kbit at a resolution of 352×240 (NTCS).

Both VCDs and SVCDs are timed in minutes, rather than MB, so when looking at an mpeg, it may appear larger than the
