A brilliant article by Vir Sanghvi - asking the Indian govt to finally get rid of the Kashmir problem.
If you in a mood for a musical movie, a fan of the Beatles songs, at 60/70’s lover with a modern touch, go ahead and watch this movie. The imagery, costumes and adaptations of the songs is surely commendable.

Some of the pictures look straight out of a Ramayana episode.
Most people, I think, would have heard of Kopi luwak from this movie, as did I. This was a nice and short movie about two guys who fight to ‘live to die another day’ and make a list of things they wish to do before they ‘kick the bucket’.
Found this weird and well pretty intriguing device called the Telectroscope on a morning walk along the river Thames down the Tower Bridge this morning. Was quite a funny experience waving to people getting wet in the rain on the Brooklyn Bridge!

I love the ending!
I usually don’t participate in such marketing gimmicks, but they do actually make my surfing experience smoother. So why not?
Just got hooked to this band recently - my favourites are “Mr. Brightside”, “Somebody Told Me”, “Read My Mind” and “When You Were Young”.
I’ve seen the second one, the Casa Batllo in Barcelona. It looks like one of the those houses made out of melted chocolate and stuff.

If you’ve seen Jeff Dunham and Achmed the terrifying terrorist, you’ll love this one too. Ventriloquism at its best, if you ask me. This totally cracked me up (all three parts) watching it last night.
