Alienman calling Alienman!

In Defense of Spiderman

Ironman will scintillate you, you would always respect Nolan’s Batman, you would be awestruck by Superman’s near omnipotence, Hulk’s brute force will bring you sheer pleasure, Captain America would sing America’s blues, Shaktimaan would instruct you on the art of living, Wolverine would maul his way to get your attention (Other Superheroes weren’t considered because […]

Book Review: The Cuckoo’s Calling

Normally, people cannot associate a meandering pace with a detective novel. A detective novel has to be race against time, it has to be a high stakes game; the protagonist has to be silent, brooding types possessing higher degree of eccentricity and clairvoyance. But reality is scarcely romantic. Cormoran Strike is the non-romantic’s Sherlock. He […]

Book Review : Take Me Home

More than the simple lucid style in which she writes, it is that quality of careful and laborious handpicking of the stories of the men and women, each of whom have a different mindset, a different background, a different guiding principle, a unique vision yet a common drive and passion for working for your mater, […]

When Hell Recruits

He wasn’t looking at me. ‘Bhenchod, dual placement karvaega?’ The asshole wasn’t still looking at me. I glowered at his hunched back, had I been Superman, it would have sliced him to pieces.

Essay No. 2 : Can grow fast now and clean later work?

‘Myopia’ is a condition associated with short-sightedness. Humans are often blamed for that when it comes to environment. Too many diabolical sci-fi novels have been written, but soon enough, they might become reality the way we are moving forward.

‘Arjuna- Saga of a Pandava Warrior-Prince’ : Book Review

‘Arjuna – Saga of a Pandava Warrior-Prince’ by Anuja Chandramouli is a healthy if temporary respite from the slew of over-dramatized, barely-researched, ‘so-called’ modern renderings of the Indian classics which have become run-of-the-mill, cash cows for the publishers. Book Stores/ Libraries are inundated with these books and their shelve life, as such is pretty low. […]
