For the next two weeks I will be visiting a few places in South East Asia. Its a bit of a family vacation and a bit of a rejuvenation tour. I doubt I will be online during the trip, so this is a pretty decent break from blogging 
I might throw a message or two on twitter if I bump into wi-fi access somewhere along the way.
See you guys on the other side 
I have been off the net for the past 4 days. The involuntary hiatus was thanks to the phone company(BSNL) doing some upgrading work(the net is actually 50% faster!).
Oddly a lot of things happened to me in the past week that changed me profoundly… I know those are pretty big words but they are not exaggerated. Anyway there is a decent backlog of posts I have to make, some were written almost a week back and not published online. My last post for example was written on 18th… So, this might be a busy place for a bit
There are moments in Kites that make you go ‘wow’ and similarly there are moments where you wonder what the writer was smoking, but thats where the balance was struck. Kites is truly unique in what it tried to achieve and for that the writers & director must be commended. They could have taken the movie in atypical Bollywood fashion but they dared to bend the rules and that must be truly understood.

The screenplay is what ruins this movie, the writers for some reason choose to be overly conservative. They even resorted to the old mantra of ‘turning a leaf’ and ‘doing the right thing’. The cons which were the heart and soul of a movie of this type are too frivolous…
