Against The Turn: Darling Harbor

http://againsttheturn.blogspot.com/2012/01/darling-harbor.html

Friday, January 6, 2012. As written to a friend over an email). These few hours spent at Darling Harbor, slowly eased me from the despair of Cricket witnessed earlier in the day, and took me to the comfort of cinema of life with its sights and sounds soothing the senses. Earlier in the day I had walked from Mercure to SCG, which took me past the beautiful neighborhood of Surry Hills. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

Against The Turn: June 2010

http://againsttheturn.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Sunday, June 6, 2010. Rajneeti - Not Engaging Enough. I was looking out for this movie for a long time. It looked different, and came from a maker, who in the past has done work which is different from the usual. Rajneeti was disappointing for me. It was still watch-able, but it lacked the intrigue I had come to expect of it, specially given that it was based on Indian politics, a subject which is capable of lending unmatched complexity.

Against The Turn: November 2010

http://againsttheturn.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 5, 2010. Stories from the Squash Court. Its been an interesting time playing squash with my brother off late. We have been playing on and off for a few years, but really have got down on regular basis only in the last month. Before getting down to the current times, a bit of history is important to get the context right. What would now be interesting is to play the game with normal vision, questions that come to mind is -. C I think I might loose out on developing the skill to position m...

Against The Turn: August 2011

http://againsttheturn.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 28, 2011. The country is celebrating, Anna's monumental fast has ended. The celebrations, as media would have us believe are because people's power has won against an arrogant government. I have my reservations on that view, however I too join in the celebrations. Anna has certainly put one across the governments goal line in the first round of what probably is going to be a long war. Why, I think common man did not buy his idea behind the movement. That reminds me of another of Gandhi...

Against The Turn: Feeling Cheated

http://againsttheturn.blogspot.com/2012/01/feeling-cheated.html

Friday, January 6, 2012. A They have not done their homework, dont fool us that you are not capable to play this bowling. They have just not spent enough time playing ball after ball in the nets, they have just not spent enough time going into the zone in the nets, perhaps hoping they can miraculously go into the zone in match situation, they have not bowled enough balls, they have not picked enough balls running. In brief, this team does not want to represent India as badly as one should ideally want to.

Against The Turn: February 2010

http://againsttheturn.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 2, 2010. Finally, I had quite a movie-full weekend. Rann, Ishqiya and Road to Sangam. Rann actually meant to say run away. Ishqiya - in parts entertaining, but no where in the league of Omakara and Maqbool (from the same makers - though not directed by VB). A beautiful story - which reminds us of the most beautiful a man. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. View my complete profile.

Against The Turn: April 2012

http://againsttheturn.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 8, 2012. Commenting on Mukul Kesavan's "How Not to Close a Great Career". Mukul Kesavan has passed many judgments on Sachin Tendulkar, and has passed many assumptions as facts. Here is my modest effort to think out his piece, or judgement, on Sachin Tendulkar. MK- Sachin Tendulkar's media blitz in the wake of his 100th hundred has been unseemly and cheapens his legacy. MK- India's modest bowling attack did as well as could be expected; it was the batsmen who embarrassed the team. Reply- MK ...

Against The Turn: January 2011

http://againsttheturn.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 22, 2011. Music and colors of dhobi ghat fill your senses in the same way as sights, sounds and smells do on a typical walk through roads of Mumbai, when your mind is not thinking, but your senses and soul are open to all that city/life has to offer, and you are ready to loose yourself and unite with it. A beautiful presentation by Kiran Rao, go sense it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. View my complete profile. Good Math, Bad Math. How to do things.
