Travelogue - Malshej Ghat

It was a much a needed break during a week. It was all unplanned but I feel fortunate enough that I could do it. I don’t know how many people can have the luxury or have the willingness to go for a trip in the middle of the week but somehow we managed it. Leaving the hustle and bustle of the city we just embarked on a journey which proved to be best one in my life after a long time. I did not know much about the Malshej Ghat / region and what it has in store to offer for a mountain lover like me. Being a central/north Indian I could never imagine that monsoon in Maharashtra could be so amazingly beautiful. The moment we entered the Sahyadri range of mountains I changed my views completely and thought that monsoon could only be beautiful here. So close from the city yet so diverse in nature it was a view of the entire region for which eyes will be personally thankful to their beholders. Since we started late in the day it was getting dark to reach our destination the MTDC resort. Howeve

It was a perfect Sunday I always wanted to spend. Sitting lazily on the couch and watching an old film from 70s. I am a big fan of Basu Chatterji and his style of film making. That’s why I chose to watch “Chhoti Si Baat” starring Amol Palekar, Vidya Sinha, Ashok Kumar and Asrani. Chhoti si Baat was released in mid seventies when most of us were not even born. Chhoti Si Baat is a story of Amol Palekar a middle class bachelor who works in a private firm. He is very shy and low on confidence. Following the tradition of his company of doing love marriages by all its employees, he also falls in love with a girl (Vidya Sinha). The girl he sees everyday at a bus stop, in bus and en-route to his office. He follows her everyday but is damn scared of talking to her. Vidya takes notice of this and also start liking him. But the problem is how to start a conversation? After an incident he collects all his courage and starts conversation with her. Here enters Asrani, friend of Vidya. Amol finds him

My Film Review- Tashan

-
A film from Yashraj banner, wow! Everybody waits for it, audiences and film fraternity. After all a yashraj film is a yashraj film. Other producers adjust their releases and give Yashraj a clean run. This time also same thing happened; Tashan was released with an expectation to be biggest blockbuster ever. I also went and saw the film “first day last show”, despite of getting 2 different seats for me and my friend. As the film began and titles rolled out, my heart was jumping and my excitement was over the moon because Tashan has a dream cast of Akshay Kumar, Saif, Kareena, Anil Kapoor and a director who has written films like Dhoom and Dhoom 2. Finally the film began and I started to find a great story to unfold in front of my eyes. However, what I was seeing was some great locations, good styling, good clothes, indigestible stunts and that’s it. I pinched and told myself chu*** its just the beginning and the real story will start now. I was consoled for the moment. I started concent
