He turned 75 on Tuesday.
I couldn’t wish him a great birthday, news was that he was taking off for a quiet evening to his Lonavla farm. Why bug him on the cell phone.
Why not tell him what you’ve always believed? Once again, with feeling.
He inspires a personal contact. Between his ...

As I see the various reactions to PAA on PFC and elsewhere, it is truly a source of joy seeing different types of reactions and the extremities of these reactions. Whether it is for or against the movie, the reactions seem to fall under one common ceiling; that of ...

Paa’s promotions indicated that the film will make a miserable spectacle out of progeria – as Amir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par did of special children for most of the film and Bhansali’s Black did of its blind & deaf protagonists for an entire film. So it is a relief to see that Paa is selling ...

Even if you have two equally crazy music-lover friends to help you find a famous person alighting from a dhow-cruise at Dubai Creek, the task becomes near impossible if you don’t know the name of the boat and its position at the dock. At 11 pm, I learned this lesson. After cruising along ...

M. S. Subbulakshmi
I have some memories associated with my old VHS tape of the 1947 Hindi version of the 1945 Tamil film Meera that is synonymous with M. S. Subbulakshmi (1916-2004). The year was 1991. Rajiv Gandhi had been assassinated on May 21. Sometime in the next couple of days or so, ...
