'A Wednesday'
I am not a movie buff, and by far, the last thing I would do is write about one...but this movie that I saw yesterday is an absolute 'Master piece' in every sense...an appallingly interesting storyline, phenomenal performances, edgy screenplay and some classy dialogues... The movie revolves around the theme of Communalism and Terrorism within the g... more...

'Assisted Marriages'
'Assisted Marriages' - A term that I have had a fixation so strong that it compelled me to pen down my thoughts on the same.I was so convinced about this concept, the author of this article was introducing a third dimension to the sacred institution of Marriage.

Excerpt from 'The Notebook'
The reason it hurts so much to seperate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time we've been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand...  more...

As we read this, one top Maoist leader has taken responsibility of killing Swami Laxmananda Saraswati [Link].

Echoes of the Past
By Sanjeev VermaCinema—and I usually say this when the wife is out of earshot—is my first love. For me it’s cinema. Or films. Never movies.

Spiritual Freelancing
Call it spiritual discord or spiritual detachment. This is what is creeping into the minds of youth these days. We see a growing spiritual crisis in the world today.
