Wasted

noreply@blogger.com (Abhijeet Gandhi) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:35:00 +0000

Ever wondered if you are utilizing your fullest potential? If you were putting to use all your talents and abilities to their maximum levels? I for one know, I am not. Why? Simple, I'm lazy, I procrastinate and I am apathetic to the outcome of any task I undertake, well almost any task I undertake. I maybe jeopardizing my future (and...

Project Petronas

noreply@blogger.com (Abhijeet Gandhi) — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 08:27:00 +0000

I made my first trip to the Malaysian capital over a recent long weekend. Although the trip was primarily supposed to be a getaway of sorts to help relax my nerves (along with my wife's), it turned out to be a great opportunity for me to take some really good clicks. Although my passion truly lies in street photography, I couldn't help...

Suckered!

noreply@blogger.com (Abhijeet Gandhi) — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 04:02:00 +0000

The latest offering from director Zack Snyder, in many ways lives up to its title. Unfortunately, I suspect it isn't the way he wanted it. Sucker Punch is a disappointment! Snyder is known for his stylized action sequences and stunning visuals. Both 300 and Watchmen relied heavily on the CGI drenched imagery which immersed audiences into a...

My recent visit to the capital city of The Philippines was a very short one as the primary purpose of the trip was to attend a wedding. Still, I did manage to experience the city to a considerable extent (Thanks to my wonderful friends!). Here's a small account of the sights and senses, I had the privilege of experiencing first hand during...

My Flick Picks from 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Abhijeet Gandhi) — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 18:41:00 +0000

The year has almost come to an end and what a year it has been for movie going audiences! I certainly had a ball watching the wide array of movies that the big (and small) studios threw in our direction. But not every one of them measured up to my expectations. Some were great in bits and pieces, others were sore disappointments, while some shined...

The new link to all those wonderful posts of mine that you love oh-so much is http://stochastic-musings.blogspot.com Those of you who are curious as to why the sudden change in the address.

A small warning before you read this post. This particular post is the result of reading way too many Sci-Fi books and watching even more movies from the same genre. But it is about a notion that I like to entertain from time to time. So if you disagree with what's about to follow (and I am pretty sure you might), just remember, it's just one...

Movie Review - Guzaarish

noreply@blogger.com (Abhijeet Gandhi) — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 19:00:00 +0000

After the disaster that was Saawariya, one would imagine, Sanjay Leela Bhansali would have opted for voluntary retirement. But the movie maker instead chose to make another film, Guzaarish with slightly mixed results. This one deals with the rather controversial topic of Euthanasia - mercy killing. Hritik is Ethan,a quadriplegic former...

Of Legacies and Sequels-A Tron Story

noreply@blogger.com (Abhijeet Gandhi) — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 15:16:00 +0000

In 1982 a movie starring Jeff Bridges as a brilliant computer programmer sucked into the computer world, wowed movie going audiences with its (then considered) "cutting edge" computer graphics and cyberpunk imagery. The movie was TRON, which went on to become a cult classic. Fast forward 28 years to 2010 when the LONG anticipated sequel to the...

Going The Distance

noreply@blogger.com (Abhijeet Gandhi) — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 14:10:00 +0000

Long distance relationship. Three words that almost always spell doom for couples. And who can blame them. Apart from the geographical and time differences, there are just so many other variables that come in between the doting couple. Almost all long distance relationships are the result of career decisions. Better job prospects, higher...

The Nexus One Google latest attempt at penetrating the mobile phone market was met with dismay with the final Nexus One phone being sold from it's web store in May.

Let Evil Triumph - Raavan, Movie Review

noreply@blogger.com (Abhijeet Gandhi) — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 08:56:00 +0000

Think of Mani Ratnam and you think of fine cinema. Almost unanimously, the director will receive praise for his celluloid masterpieces. Unfortunately his latest piece of art has attracted anything but praises. Ratnam’s modern interpretation of one of the most enigmatic and despised villains in India’s mythological history, Raavan, has been panned...

IndiBlogger Singapore Meet

As I pen this post, two things are running through my mind. First, this was truly a memorable evening with the very first IndiBlogger meet off Indian soil being a success. The second, ten other fellow bloggers are going to do a MUCH better job of writing about this evening than me! So I began thinking (and at 3:00 AM, that's NOT an easy...

The First Time

noreply@blogger.com (Abhijeet Gandhi) — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:46:00 +0000

Abhishek was nervous. And rightly so. It was his first day in a new school. The anxiety levels were through the roof. His previous school was one that focussed on the kindergarten levels and hence had fewer classes and in turn fewer students. But his new school was one that moulded minds right from kindergarten to the metric levels. The building,...

No this is not a retro review of the Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen starrer epic flick. Neither is this a sneak peek at the next X-Men production. It is simply a reflection of the events that have transpired over the last few months around us. In the last quarter alone we had more major earthquakes than we had in the past decade!

My Name Is Gandhi And I Am Not A Politician!

King Khan's latest flick has been generating a huge buzz (no pun intended!). Even before it's release, the movie enjoyed a whole lot of media attention for various reasons. The pairing of superstars Shahrukh & Kajol after a long hiatus was the movie's calling card. But more famous, or rather infamous was the war of words between Shahrukh...
