2014 at the Movies. December 22, 2014. By Paras S Borgohain. I want to say right off that I have been underwhelmed with most of the flicks I managed to catch this year. And yet, for the ones that I’ve carried with me – you’ll never hear the last of them. It is a wonder how some of these are yet to find a wider release. The big ones with very wide distribution barely broke through any skin. Darren Aronofsky’s biblical ‘. No more Michael Bay budgets for you! Nolan’s ‘. Then, Mr. Nolan pulled a half nel...

Bhabhi and Bhaaya Get Silly. 8216;Sikander’ is now in Tea Cups – Haider as Hamlet for the Gallery and Beyond. October 5, 2014. By Paras S Borgohain. A battered Gertrude/ Ghazala (Tabu) buries her face in the arms of a “bleeding” Hamlet/ Haider in Vishal Bhardwaj’s third installment of the Shakespeare trilogy. As Good as it Gets. In our heads, attacking us for this analogy: “People who talk in metaphors ought to shampoo my crotch! 8221;, but we will persist! The terrain is tricky, as is life in Kashmir.

Vote for a Virus – ‘Virus of the Dead’, A New Zombie Pandemic Film Project. September 28, 2014. By Paras S Borgohain. In the book of Tony Newton from Essex, they’re unfeeling, but indicative of vague possibilities in this world of ours. They’ve been conjured or they’ve spat/sneezed/bled/puked (not green pea soup) into flesh, blood and soul humans and spawned more of their own. Closer home, Goa, Goa, Gone and Zibahkhaana (Hell’s Ground) from Pakistan made … Continue reading →. September 13, 2014. The othe...

Who is this Sai Sai? September 29, 2014. By Paras S Borgohain. Sayali, or Sai-Sai as she is known in some select circles is one of my closest friends in this big bad city. We compulsively mouth rarely spoken truths from the book of Maine Pyaar Kiya (Dosti kari hai, nibhaani toh padegi hi, Dosti ka ek hi usool hai mister no sorry, no thank you, ok? Miss Suman, yeh kabootar mera hai, etc) reach for dates with friends and other significant people an hour early. Twitter- https:/ twitter.com/sayali25. She spe...

We Need to Talk About Love ( and Demos) – What Went Down in Parliament Street Police Station on Valentine’s Day Circa 2015. February 14, 2015. By Paras S Borgohain. Self love has bearings. We have been calling it narcissism since our collective memory can recall the want of a term for this human condition. Over the course of time, the provision of using this term has legitimized our denial of the impulse to validate self-image. 8220;You’re such a narcissist! I’m such a narcissist! This larger, seemingly ...

Bhabhi and Bhaaya Get Silly. 8230;at Nourish Organics. October 14, 2014. By Paras S Borgohain. Excerpts from the leaked script of “Bhaaya and Bhabhi go to Nourish Organics”. EXT VASANT VIHAR (NEAR AN EMBASSY OF A REALLY SMALL COUNTRY). EVE. The cellphone rings, muffled in his trouser pocket. PARAS, 30, anxious, fishes into his trousers… and right in the middle of the street, pulls out his little friend (the cellphone)and takes the call. It is SAYALI. Hey, are you done? Umm, are you done? Yes, I want food.

https://paroospeak.wordpress.com/2014/10/19/at-coast-cafe
Bhabhi and Bhaaya Get Silly. 8230; at Coast Cafe. October 19, 2014. By Paras S Borgohain. We wanted to keep the day light, our plans fairly loose and a meal that was easy. We’d both been here before – me just once and Sayali, several times. She won’t stop about the view from the window at Coast Cafe, which is right above the boutique Ogaan in… *drumroll* Hauz Khas Village. They offer coastal South Indian, crepes, grills and salads too. The hyped view. Not for no reason. As Sayali puts it,. Leave a Reply ...
