Rain, rain


Finally the rain drops on the office window panes and the outside seems to be something to stay on, with the thrilling background score of thunder!

The long-elusive monsoon seems to have stepped in........finally...... ending a long, torturous and depressing spell of heat and humidity.

Enjoy!

Madly Bangalee rocks!


After ‘The Bong Connection’ Anjan Dutta has finally made a film with his heart, something that can really connect with the audience. Its his best work by his own admission. ‘Madly Bangalee’, the first band film in Bengali, truly rocks, like a film of this genre should. It reminds me of the brilliant telefilms on ETV like ‘Amar Baba’, ‘Juddha’ made by Anjan years back. The core strengths of the film are a) superb performances by its mint-fresh, young lead cast playing members of the rock band the film revolves around, b) music by Neel Dutt and c) script and storytelling by Anjan. The actors in the lead cast making the rock band are actually from a Kolkata-based theatre group ‘Tin Can’ and know how to play the instruments they played in the film.

More than the youth spirit and rock music the film celebrates Kolkata, and that's what I absolutely love. That's what precisely makes it more relevant right here.

Go for it folks!!

Will be back soon!!

The humidity count must be 95%. It's a pain to commute between home and office in public transport. Working on field in the afternoon is like a punishment..............and in the middle of this I want to be back again where I always love to belong but am failed by situations of life- here at KC.
