Travel is on everyone’s mind as the summer is upon us. So, we thought we’d fuel that zest to escape; this time around, we bring you 5 books based on a location instead of a movie, so you can travel without really travelling. I picked North Carolina to begin with because I feel like I’ve …
It’s true, believe it or not. The Star Trek movies were written with crystal balls and astrologers. How else would they have accurately predicted the advanced technology we have today without any means of reference? Oh well, maybe their imaginations were pretty darn good.

I was at this hotel in Uganda last week and being very fond of peas, ordered ‘green peas risotto’ through room service. Half-way through the meal, I realised there was no green peas in it. There was only green beans cut tiny, about the size of a pea. I felt cheated but I also felt …

Few of us took precis-writing seriously in school.

The IPL is over. And I have several profound, earthshaking observations to share. They say nothing is impossible, so there must be some way of making Gautam Gambhir smile. But it is best attempted on a day when his team wins (and with a fifty coming off his bat). Even then, you might have to …
After being exposed to a lot of today’s predictable plots, watching this Hitchcock classic showed me why his name still echoes in references, even though he created his art almost six decades ago, in the 1950s. And art, his films truly were; quite difficult too, considering that they didn̵…
