Aware Songs
Is it just me or are there really so many “aware” songs out there in the past few years… And so many good ones at that too. From self-aware songs: Meant To Live by Switchfoot One Thing by Finger Eleven Welcome To My Life by Simple Plan Harder To Breathe by Maroon 5 Float On […]
Guess who?
It’s Ravana. Watch the trailer if you don’t believe me. Ashok Banker is on a roll: … But their (Rohit Vaid and Abhimanyu Singh, of Contiloe Pictures) enthusiasm, love, and passion for the project hooked me. I signed on, despite myself. Surprising myself, my family, friends. And so Mahayoddha Rama was born, an animated film […]

Two unofficial traffic rules in India
Ignore all honking. Most of the honking is by nincompoops who want to save 30 seconds in travel but waste away their lives during the rest of the day. Solution: We should ban all horns. It’s purpose has been lost. Reduce the noise pollution, please. Never drive in front of an auto, beside an auto […]
