Amitabh Matched Fire With Fire In Kishoreda Songs
2008-03-08 14:16:27
Amitabh was the only actor who fully used to dub Kishoreda’s songs. You could watch him loudly sing each line with his bulging and tale-telling neck veins. One must say, if Kishoreda had several moods and voices, each aimed at defining one or the other actor, Amitabh had the ability to fully live up to [...]

2008-03-06 14:45:22
Kishen Karve, the lonely Hockey warrior from Gujarat, is no more. He passed away recently, after briefly being ill in Ahmedabad at the age of 84.

The sky is the limit, they say it for those who can make it to the really top in life. However, I found it frightening to even look at the same blue sky, as this story of mine will say! I got this shot captured on my cellphone camera, while walking down the SG [...]

Controversies Made Osho Rajneesh More Colorful
2008-01-12 17:16:53
I was just reading these excerpts from a book on Osho Rajneesh, which claims it has taken a wide range of opinions into its account. Although none of the controversies, Osho is spoken of, were listed in the paragraphs I read there, the Indian born guru was a controversial figure indeed in the [...]

I Salute Him For Making Sholay
2008-01-05 12:39:04
GP Sippy is no more. He passed away at his home peacefully recently at the advanced age of 93. I fondly recall my childhood days when Sholay was creating waves and rewriting the very basic way of how Hindi Cinema should be produced. Shekhar Gupta once rightly said while carrying out an interview for the [...]

2008-01-04 14:17:48
Image courtesy IndianExpress.com A well-contested argument between the Kishore da and Rafi fans is always on cards whenever somebody speaks their heart about one of these two Indian greats - I have myself previously spoken on this subject. Recently, I came across the following article by Sandipan Deb in The Indian Express, which declares Kishoreda as the [...]

Continuing With The Debate On Osho’s Controversies
2008-04-19 19:17:26
I have started to believe of late, that one should try to keep away from the Osho communes and his followers. The master was so impressive that you start expecting his followers to match his virtuosity too at least in some degree, which is too much of an expectation unfortunately. A majority of them can [...]

Did Osho Try Behaving Like A White’s Only Guru At Oregon?

Sanedo Sanedo… Ji Ho Lal Sanedo
2008-05-02 15:58:19
I suppose, I almost landed there this time. This is the original Maniraj Barot, no doubt about it. But, this ain’t the original Sanedo I was looking forward to, I suspect. The album reads “Ji Ho Lal Sanedo” by Maniraj Barot, and it further ads the time of release as that after his initial Sanedo’s [...]


Romantic Kishoreda Numbers
2008-05-09 17:49:50
This job is getting tougher with each passing day, as I try to compile newer Kishore Kumar song lists. The main issue is, one can compile the same collection in several different ways. Kishoreda used to sing with so much passion, that you will find it hard to discretely classify each of his songs. [...]

Tales Of Brand Amitabh Bachchan
2008-05-20 16:52:17
He denied having been paid by BigAdda, and we should accept his denial. But, one thing is sure, his blog is part of a major drive for strengthening brand Big B, in the face of some sinister anti-Bachchan and anti-north Indian campaigns by Raj Thakrey in Mumbai. Also, with Big B’s usual ability to hold [...]
