What does an ideal day look ?
Well, is there an ideal day? If there is one, can we have an ideal day on a professional level but not on the personal level and vice versa. I think we all can define what an ideal day can look like. More like what we expect and then we can redefine it as we go. I also think we can meet our ideal state … Continue reading What does an ideal day look ?
Why do we Hate ?
Hate is a very strong word, dislike is more mellowed. It is important to use dislike instead of hate, because with the word ‘Hate’ people are not going to be honest. I am sure there will also be folks who will say they don’t dislike anyone. Great, one should never have a goal to dislike anyone. But let me be honest.

Ramayan – Naatak’s 100th Production
Today we had the chance to watch Naatak’s 100th Production – Ramayan. It was in Awadhi language. Awadhi or Oudhi the language of Awadh region in UP.

There are issues in doing … Continue reading The Questions Project

A new bookstore in Fremont – Banter Bookshop

The Kashmir Files – Watch before you take any stand about the film
I watched ‘The Kashmir Files’ a few days back. I wanted to make a video of my thoughts. Finally I made it in Malayalam, but thought in English I will write instead of making a video. ‘The Kashmir Files’ is very disturbing, gripping and unsettling to say the least. And I want to share my thought as I watched the movie. In fact it took … Continue reading The Kashmir Files – Watch before you take any stand about the film
