///M: English Vinglish
http://tripleslashm.blogspot.com/2012/10/english-vinglish.html
Friday 5 October 2012. I rarely watch Hindi movies. Rarer still do I come back appreciating them. English Vinglish is worth it, even a bleary-eyed 6 am review. After just about making it across town to the PVR at Oberoi Mall, Goregaon, was amazed to see that most of the invitees were on time, with thousands of eager fans, waiting to glimpse their favourite stars, and of course the star of the film. Picture courtesy: 123telegu.com). Well it is much more than that. Gauri Shinde the award winning short film...

///M: IT Calling
http://tripleslashm.blogspot.com/2009/10/it-calling.html
Thursday 8 October 2009. Got a letter from the IT Department, Government of India. My returns had been randomly selected by the computer for scrutiny under the CAAS system. The Parel, Mumbai office of the IT Commissioner was a godown. The 3rd floor, where I was to meet the case officer was a mess. Piled with personal and corporate income tax returns on the floor, on racks nine feet high, on desks, on every available space, a hundred bound together with white strings. All dusty and dirty. The inside of th...

///M: Paa
http://tripleslashm.blogspot.com/2009/12/paa.html
Tuesday 1 December 2009. I had read about the brilliant prosthetic make up, seen the pictures and also got a little freaked out at the sight of it in the promos. Well, that is me. But as the film opened and Auro made his entry, the visual comfort increased till, later and towards the end, the bald head with blue veins didn't matter as much as what was happening in the story. But all this is really trivial compared to emotional roller-coaster that the film is. Hugely enjoyable. 3 December 2009 at 6:38 PM.

The IPL Fatigue | The Second Take
https://secondtake.wordpress.com/2011/05/03/the-ipl-fatigue
Plays I cheer only for India and Indian players. It appears that I am not the only one who is complaining about the fatigue. News from TAM is that TV ratings have come down to record low for this year’s IPL. It is 18 % lower than last year. The overkill of cricket and little innovation or controversy in IPL-4 has made it boring. Wonder what Lalit Modi would have done, if he was still running the IPL circus! 8211; G.Mohan.

When Public Goods is No Good. In the upcoming assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, the competing Dravidian parties, DMK and AIADMK are bending over each other to please (bribe? The electorate by offering unheard of freebies. Given below is a quick overview of the promises made by the two parties taken from MSN.com. 20 kg of rice for all ration card holders. 20 litres of drinking water daily. 1 mixie, 1 grinder and 1 fan. Rs 25,000 or 4 gm gold as marriage assistance. 60,000 cows and sheep. The shock comes f...

Crude Reality Hits India | The Second Take
https://secondtake.wordpress.com/2011/02/26/crude-reality-hits-india
Crude Reality Hits India. In India, where the petroleum prices are still largely under government control it is difficult to come up with such a thumb rule. Also, the crude oil cost is only about 45 % of the petroleum price at the petrol pump. Rest being made up of other costs. If the price of petrol stands at Rs 58.90, the break up of cost as calculated by the Indian Government is as follows:. Basic Price: Rs 28.93. Education Tax: Rs 0.43. Dealer commission: Rs 1.05. Excise duty: Rs 14.35. Indeed a very...
