– I’m shifting to 101 the coming weekend.
– I’m soon to be inducted into the elite group of Neo, V and Winston.
– Across the Universe is a damn good movie.
– I wanted to kill the people who groaned each time a song played in the movie.
– ‘What’s it about?’ ‘Certainly not the universe. It’s an earthly [...]

Tantalizing tragedy
Nothing is as tantalizing as the realization that one can’t have the person one loves with the depth as is possible only by a human, and difficult as it is in such a situation, it gets only worse if the other person is as much in love too. Once this realization sets in, life becomes a Shakespearan [...]

The waiting
She had been sitting in the living room for just five minutes, but was already anxious to leave even though this was her first visit to her place. She was making tea in the kitchen, for her. It would be rude to go away just like that. After all these years. Oh! But the ambience [...]

Guilty as hell…
If I were a psychiatrist, I’d’ve been responsible for more deaths than Al Capone. Patients after having a discussion with me in their troubled states would either have hanged themselves or got drowned. Some might even have blown their brains out or come under a speeding train. But I assure you, I’d only have had their best [...]

Pretending otherwise,
he was trying hard to get it right… hear the menu being spelt out from across the other cubicle. With pricked ears and lustful eyes.
‘A chicken biryani. Large.’
‘…grilled chicken… and two tandooris.’
He could only gulp down the accumulated saliva and hope that his sacrifice for the sake of his sacred thread would somehow hold him [...]

The closing of Closing Time
The attached note read:
Dear A,
Here you go…
Rediscover the Yossarian ways if at all they exist in this one.
Always a frn,
JR, 2007
Not only did I rediscover the Yossarian ways but also managed to get a glimpse of his life before and after the warring years. The only thing I haven’t figured out yet is where the [...]

Jollopalicious Juno!
Firstly, there’s no such word as jollopalicious, any dictionary search is bound to prove futile. Secondly, the movie can only be unjustifiedly underrrated if any other word is used to describe it.
Ellen Page is brilliant as Juno MacGuff, the 16 year old high-schooler who enters deliveryhood (not to be confused with motherhood) a bit early in [...]

At parties…
Sometimes I wish people would just stay away from me. Being not the type who wants to discuss the colour of his underwear in public, it’s only natural that I blow off when asked specifically about it when others are around. Being a complete asshole, I usually come up with a quick retort that more [...]

Tagged again - My movie quirks!
Being tagged has an advantage. One doesn’t have to rack the emptiness of the fleshy impostor for nothingness. It saves time and almost always provides a short lived moment of crowning achievement which however misplaced, serves to put in a false sense of creative accomplishment.
If one were to list out the oddities of movie watching [...]
