“Tread not in the by-lanes of the belittle ones, you will only be ripped off of your untainted glory and the very reason for your sublime existence”. @msksmiles “Vultures can hunt, eagles can prey, tigers will prowl.

Chandni. Forever.
Sridevi’s demise marks an an end to a celebrated era of woman talent and perseverance. One of those mercurial and prodigious actors who was able to transcend boundaries successfully and with so much grace, Sridevi used her strong foundation from Tamil films to foray in to Hindi cinema and was able to hone her wayContinue reading “Chandni. Forever.”
The Curious Case of Netaji
The last couple of weeks saw Google bestowing tributes on a Russian filmmaker and a Mexican Diva. Today, I saw a Nigerian football icon grabbing this honor. Google Doodle, thank you! But I was surprised and disappointed to see that we conveniently forgot to acknowledge that today also happens to be the birthday of aContinue reading “The Curious Case of Netaji”
Inevitable 2018, Hello!
2017 was a roller coaster year. Well, I can call it adventurous and tumultuous in the same breath. Yes, you might argue that these expressions don’t quite sit adjacent to each other.

No country is perfect, the flaws exude beauty of renaissance and evolution. We did, we do,Continue reading “70 Years of ‘Bharat’”
Death Smile
She is an Iron Lady. I have never seen her blink an eye or being moist in a situation. She took tuition classes, her husband has a decent job and her son was studying in a boarding school in a different town. A family of 3 with dreams of their own, I knew them asContinue reading “Death Smile”
The Booth
Sometimes, it’s silent and empty. As far as you can see, that is.
Beneath, Water and I
Waves and Sand. Fish and Rock. People and I. Slippery corners. My lifelines. Survive and Excel. Love. Period.

Calcutta, My Alma Mater
Some cities just don’t give you a living, they breathe and emote, just like you do. Some cities make you what we are today. Calcutta is my soul and it’s DNA is the foundation of my life. What I possess in Calcutta is beyond words, sometimes beyond comprehension. Feelings juxtaposed, memories unlimited and segmented nostalgia.Continue reading “Calcutta, My Alma Mater”
