On top of my boithday wishlist is a ticket to the Iron Maiden concert in Bangalore. So, if you know where I can get tickets from, please please please do let me know. Hmm…last went to B’lore nine years ago, and this is as good a reason as any.
An aside, wtf is it with Eddie […]
The Bombay trip was hectic, though I did manage to get around four hours on Sunday to spend with family. Rest were spent either running around, updating on events from a cyber cafe, or attending events. Didn’t get much sleep either, and nor did I get time to meet friends. I still have a backlog […]
1900hrs: JANA NATYA MANCH’s Shambukvadh (Hindi). For details, go here.
I bought a day pass for Saturday (tomorrow) at the Prithvi Theatre Fest, and hence got three tickets for the price of two. Instead of going for the last play, I’m attending the Saturday leg of the Jazz Utsav. In case anyone wants a free ticket, […]
“Sharp! Sharp! Sharp!” was what Isheeta’s reminder for the “At Home with Zero” gig at the Garden of 5 senses said. So Adi and I rushed, and the gig started late. Now Zero’s a band that’s famous for not just their music. There’s also Warren’s guitaring that was perhaps amongst the few things noteworthy, apart […]
Naah, not what you’re thinking - Sunday’s gig at TC (Update: TC is Turquoise Cottage at Adchini…sorry Reeta :)) wasn’t called “Mayhem”. It just turned out to be the craziest f’in gig I’ve ever been to. I know, I know - I’d said that earlier about the Numero Uno Rock Out last year, but this […]
First gig in…three months, I guess. Last that I remember was the last day of GIR, waaay back in Feb. I’ve missed quite a few good gigs since then cause, well, didn’t feel like going alone, and the usual suspects no longer want to go for gigs. Went alone for the Skinny Alley gig to […]
The basic message of Makhmalbaf’s latest, The Scream of the Ants (Shaere Zobale-Ha) is as follows:
The Scream of the Ants starts promisingly enough: An Iranian couple wait, with the wife sitting on a chair and the husband loitering about, in the middle of a railway track. The wife has a glove stuck to her face […]
[Note: spoilers, but this storyline has been used ten trillion, sixty seven thousand times, approximately]
As much as I’d like to be critical of Climates’ predictable storyline, and seemingly restrained performances, I really liked it. At the Cinefan film fest, most of the movies that I enjoyed featured characters who were mature and somewhat subdued: a […]
A sleepy, seaside Iranian town. A successful restaurant being run by four feisty, independent women. Everything is running smoothly until one womans lover gets arrested for anti-national activities, and anothers returns after being in prison for 25 years for the same charge, possibly to reclaim the house in which the restaurant is being run.
Aziz, a […]

Said and Khaled are two young men who work for a car repairman in the West Bank. There are few jobs, and they have little interest in the job […]
