Ipod. The name has become the standard in MP3 players. Much like Kleenex to tissue paper, Ipod is now the thing we associate portable music with. Sometimes, we want something different. Sandisk (the company that owns Sansa) delivers with the Sansa Fuze. I would say that it is the direct competitor to the Ipod Nano. It’s about the same size and it costs about the same. So why Sansa’s Fuze if Apple’s Ipod is the standard? Well for one, competition is good. Competition drives prices down and it forces manufacturers to adhere to a higher quality. Another thing I am sick of is following what’s “in”. Be different people! Don’t be a mindless sheep. Let’s all do our part and improve our standard of living. Read more...

Singing is an innate part of human nature. There is just something that is so freeing when you sing out in celebration of life. Some choose karaoke, others reality television, and still others, the privacy of their own homes, where they choose to share their natural singing abilities. There is always room for improvement, though, in your vocal prowess. There are just a few myths that need to be eliminated from everyones perception of the human beings capacity to sing ” whether they are extremely talented or not so much. Read more...

The HDTV with its marvelous technological science and has completely changed the way TV shows and movies looked earlier. But there is one nagging problem and that is that the Television shows continue to be bad. A foolish sit-com will insult your intelligence in HD just as easily as it will in standard def, if not more and this is where DVRs come in. Read more... (527 words, estimated 2:06 mins reading time)

LUCK BY CHANCE : WELL-TOLD FILMI DRAMA
Technorati tag : Review Luck by chance
I was really looking forward to this film, even though it lacked in the oomph department; Farhan as talented as he is (and he’s really working on those biceps) isn’t quite the man to make one’s heart go pitter-patter. And the Akhtars didn’t dissapoint. Zoya Akhtar’s debut directorial venture is an entertaining, interesting first film. Read more... (601 words, estimated 2:24 mins reading time)

Better late than never, say I. So, a little late, but here nevertheless are the Top 10 Films of 2008. The year began strong with films like Mithya and Jodhaa Akbar. There were very few blockbusters that did well. This was the year of the “cheapie” – a film with B grade stars, made probably on a small budget. “Hello” was one of these, and so was “Welcome to Sajjanpur”. As always stupidity ruled, and made films like “Singh is Kinng” big hits.
Anyway, enough said; here are my picks : Read more... (458 words, estimated 1:50 mins reading time)

GHAJINI : MASALA MEETS MUSCLE
The remake of the South-Indian original, Ghajini reminds me of the 8o’s revenge based dramas; films like Shiva which, in their turn, were remakes of South-Indian hits. Hence the abundance of large instruments of torture and gory fight scenes which usually end up with a knife in the back or a smashed head. With the color-coordinated songs (clothes match the cars) this film is also reminiscent of older Jeetendra-Sridevi pot-boilers like “Himmatwala” etc. Read more...

RAB NE BANA DI JODI : GOOD, BUT LACKS FINESSE
The much awaited “Rab ne bana di jodi” lives up to it’s hype – well almost. A film by director Aditya Chopra, this one is a romance. It’s meant to be one of those romances where we are persuaded to believe that true love comes because of inner, and not outer beauty (I could contest this genre by pointing out that such stories abound when the guy is the geek, and the girl is quite beautiful, if not Ms. Universe herself – after all how many times in desi films have you seen a geeky girl get the guy ?).
