Movie Review: We Are Family

September 2, 2010 · 6 Comments

You expect a good outing when you have Karan Johar leading a movie with stars like Kajol, Kareena & and Arjun Rampal. The icing on the cake being that the movie is an adaptation of a hugely successful Hollywood movie – Stepmom with of course the extra dose of emotions to lure the Indian audiences. We are family is a decent movie which will find acceptance with, as the name says, the family junta! Maya [Kajol] is a perfect mother and her life is centred around her three kids.

Product Review: Fastrack Sports Watch-9291SL02

July 30, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Six months is a good time to understand and appreciate the value that a product has on offer. Its been six months that I have been sporting this watch from Fastrack.

Although classified under the Sport category (primarily because of Fastrack’s Positioning), I don’t think its a sports watch by any stretch of imagination. While you cannot wear...

August 18, 2010 · 2 Comments

Anyways we are at least 3 years behind the most advanced nations as far as mobile Internet is concerned but inefficient handling of consumer grievances by carriers make the situation even worse. I was all excited to get my new Android driven Sony XPERIA X10. Now when you talk about android you just cant do without the Internet. Virtually every application is net dependent and therefore the first thing I did after buying the phone was to call the Vodafone customer care to help me out with the settings as I changed from my iPhone to this new one. “Sir, please send www to 52586” came the reply....

Movie Review: Lafangey Parindey…is neither wild nor flies

There were 3 questions that crossed my mind while watching Lafangey Parindey: Is it necessary for bollywood movies to be about 2-2.5 hours long? Is it necessary for bollywood movies to have every bit of masala and not stick to a simple plot? What is Yashraj doing? Was Chak De a fluke? I’m disappointed with Lafangey...
