Ever since I got my new mobile phone I found a new way to keep myself entertained on the long journey to and from work – by watching movies. Though the idea of watching a 70mm film with Dolby and the works on a tiny 320×240 pixel screen may not appeal to all, I’ve found [...]

[This post is the second in a new category that I'm including in this blog - 'Fantastic Females'] Watched Kabir Khan’s Kabul Express some days ago and quite liked the film.

The old one is still functioning, but I needed something more to keep me occupied during my 80km daily ride. After a little research and a suggestion from a dear friend, I zeroed in [...]

Sudheendra Kulkarni shares this heartening anecdote about the outgoing President APJ Abdul Kalam in his column in The Sunday Express: Here is an example of how his deeds matched his words.
