Just Talk...: Of Films: Black Friday
http://abinavk.blogspot.com/2010/07/of-films-black-friday.html
Friday, July 02, 2010. Of Films: Black Friday. This, and this precisely, is what made the movie work for me. The effortless change of narrative perspectives. And, the effectiveness of this change on the viewer given the grittiness of the characters is jaw-dropping. Be it the fascinatingly choreographed chase scene where you become the hunted or the way you relate to Kay Kay in all those scenes when he is fighting within himself. Agree with your review here! Neha - dont rationalize your likings. شركة تنظي...

Just Talk...: Human Aliens
http://abinavk.blogspot.com/2010/06/human-aliens.html
Friday, June 04, 2010. What if we are the aliens on this planet? No, seriously. The most popularly believed theory of human evolution is that a bunch of apes migrated from Africa across the world and then evolved. Now, I say alien invasion could have been equally possible. Circa [whatever the year was about 5 Mn years ago]. M1: Yo Bro, let's go. M1: Did you hear about the blue thing last night? M2: Say, what? M1: The Blue Thing dude. Looked cool. You got to see that? M2: Where is it anyway? E: Damn this ...

Thursday, January 14, 2010. Long time; No blog. Just wanted to check this mobile blogging thingy. Quite useful for moblogs, if you are into that kinda blogging. Also, o just realised that pressing the spacebar twice in my iPhone keypad results in a period and a space. Capital losses for India. Capital losses for India. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Just Talk...: August 2010
http://abinavk.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 11, 2010. Things I can't do. In the past few days I am guilty of not having blogged, and even more guilty of not having read blog posts. This has been a period of serious introspection for me. My life was going nowhere and on an average the general sense of dissatisfaction prevailed over scattered moments of cheeriness. What are your weaknesses? I have now realized, and I tell this with all honesty, that I can't do 3 things. In other words, I am old school, undersell and over-perform.

Just Talk...: November 2008
http://abinavk.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 04, 2008. Book Review: Waiting for the Mahatma. Here, the canvas he has chosen is much wider. The characters he tries to sketch are itching to take a form much larger than routine. The circumstances are such. The backdrop is political. And he tries to set a love story in it. Monday, November 03, 2008. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Not your regular guy. View my complete profile.

Just Talk...: August 2009
http://abinavk.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 02, 2009. Well Not really. No news. Just an observation, in fact. I was watching the 8 o’ clock Tamil news yesterday. The lady happily chattering away in chaste Tamil. Or should I say, thooya tamizh? Obviously, a similar argument should be read for Hindi/ Bangla/ and other languages too. Just a disclaimer, just to emphasize that it is the habit - of using language in such a way - rather than the people or the language itself which is under scrutiny]. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Just Talk...: July 2009
http://abinavk.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. 1 I am not too crazy about fantasy movies. No, not even Lord of the Rings. 2 I think Harry Potter is for kids. So is Superman, Spiderman, Hulk, Transformers, etc. 3 I liked Paheli, though. I thought it was a gutsy take and the movie didn't take itself too seriously. Come to think of it, I liked Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. 7 I can't shut-up. 8 I can't. No, really! 9 I have no clue why I am rambling in points - but doesn't really matter does it. 11 I can't ...
