Paws-itively holding on....

The following photo was taken on Velachery Main Road in Chennai... where a dog was sitting pillion on a scooty. It was amazing the way our friend was balancing himself for he didn't have the space to move even a little. Later, he actually sat down on the carrier-seat. He did look more comfortable that way. Though the picture isn't clear I couldn't help not posting it.

Rajneeti - Modern Mahabharata, the bollywood way!

Yes. I watched the movie and I'm going to write about it. In one line. I'm wondering who in the world gave it 4 stars and why? Just one look at the posters... woaah... what I star cast I must say. When my cousins asked me if I wanted to go, I said sure. After all, one can watch the movie only for the star cast. But now I realize that one can watch it only for the star cast. Not taking credit away from Prakash Jha. We all know he is a good director and makes serious films. But the story here really wasn't all that great. Bad politics it is but too many subplots. Too much confusion for a normal viewer. The pace of the movie was good. Another good thing was that none of the characters were larger than life in the sense that all characters were shown with both their good sides and their grey shades. It was never that this guy is good and the other bad. Much effort has gone into careful character sketching of all the main protagonists. Weirdest scene: The one with Shruti Se
