ParsaReport: Titanic 3D remains a problem movie -- a Hollywood disaster film that misses the tragedy
http://parsareport.blogspot.com/2012/04/titanic-3d-remains-problem-movie.html
Politics. Films. Books. Interviews. Reviews. Friday, April 20, 2012. Titanic 3D remains a problem movie - a Hollywood disaster film that misses the tragedy.

Politics. Films. Books. Interviews. Reviews. Sunday, July 12, 2015. The strange case of liberal secularists on the one hand, and BJP’s Hindutva right-wingers on the other, bending over backwards in wanting to be on the friendliest of terms with Pakistan. It is all then a case of infantile play-acting where the two ideologically opposed groups in India – the liberal secularists and the Hindutva right-wingers – are frantic over improving ties with Pakistan.
