Go see 9 because it looks fantastic and has wonderful details, the characters are touching and lovingly created, and its a great example of the amazing history and future of animation. Knowing that Tim Burton produced it was enough to get us excited (and willing to pay the exorbitant Rs. 225/- for the premiere). Way back when, I knew that I wanted to see more of this Samir Parker guy because of

The most talked-about aspect of the current situation in Iran, is Twitter. In the past weeks Twitter has reportedly provided opportunities for Iranian protesters to send out information during that government's refusal to allow (mostly Western) journalists to report on the aftermath of the (suspect) re-election of Mahmoud Ahmedinejad. So the hottest tweet is possibly, ironically, about Twitter

This is the only shot of anything remotely to do with the Armed Forces that I got over the eleven day period we were in Manipur. I had heard so much about the conflict in Manipur and I was eager to see; the conflict tourism factor I suppose. There were far too many moments when I wanted to take pictures of the presence of the army here, but I must admit that they made me nervous, at first, and

Tuisam, Che and Anirban. Che evoked far too much interest on this trip and I think he was one of the reasons we were looked over quite carefully.

Desi dogs do it Indianstyle. Outrage is fat-free, so gratifying and comes cheap at wholesale rates. An all-new season of bash-a-Moslem begins and we expect high TRPs.Another self righteous deshbhakt whines about the politicunts while doing a jai mata di on the brave boys in uniform.This is no worse than we deserve, putting our faith in age and caste loyalties. We prefer the criminally senile in

I heard the news today, Oh Boy ….. We have been pissing ourselves with glee as the page3 tip of theIsland has taken over all 24 hours of the news cycle on CNN and the BBC. Witlessly thrilling at the desi news channel logos popping up in the upper corners of western TV screens even as they seek to black out the chaddi adverts running at the bottom.We cringe, mid snooze, even as the post-electoral
