So, Paheli has been chosen to represent India at Oscars. Though I haven’t seen the movie, but the storyline, star cast n reviews make me feel it must b a real good one.
Even then, I feel for ‘Black’, such a beautiful movie, with some spirited performances, would have done much better. Anyhow, I am not a film critic, so hope the people at the helm must be knowing better.
But I don’t wish to discuss which of the above two movies is better.But that, why does an Indian film don’t win an oscar. Is it some apartheid, some lobbying that keeps us away, or is it poor movies themselves. (more…)

The Great Indian Cricket Show
Cricket is religion in India. Ppl may b illiterate or may not know country’s PM or Prez, but they surely know abt cricket, n how India is faring.That is the reason the current spat between Indian coach Greg Chappell, and Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has taken so many inches of media space.
Since last 2 days, since that vituperative e-mail went public, media is losing no stone unturned and is coming up with their weirdest predictions about the outcome.Whatever be the result, Indian cricket has suffered a blow at least for now, and it will take some time and a brave will n effort to resurrect it.

The Title Blues
Carrying on from the last blog:
Starting a blog comes with its nuances.When I was asked for a name, I thought like giving some time, n coming out with the best name. But all of a sudden this word “Utopia” came 2 my mind, n i decided on it.
So, what is Utopia?

My Debut Inning
Ahh at last I have got myself a blog. How long have I waited for this day, it seems eternity.
This is what a person yearns for when he/she has an internet connection at his disposal, and a whale of time to pass.Internet has given birth to many a idea, but this one seems different in a sense it aims to provide an identity to people, and also help them to put valuable manhours into some constructive work, or some may say destructive.
