I had very high hopes from Rebecca. I wanted to like it, I really tried to like it but I just couldn’t. For a movie to alter a book is always a bit of a gamble, and this time the movie did not win. I suppose to a person who has not actually read the […]

A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is set sixty-five years before the original trilogy, during the tenth Hunger Games, and centers around everyone’s least favourite president (okay, maybe second least favourite). This is the story of President Snow when he was just Coriolanus.
The Real Life Inspirations For Game Of Thrones
The final season of Game Of Thrones is coming. And with it comes the end of an era. The end of what is, in my opinion, the greatest show on television. And so, in order to be less bereft, I did a little research. While doing this research I found that the universe that I […]
Sacred Games : No Spoiler Review
Rating :- 4.5/5 It’s been a while since a genuinely good non-soap opera show came out of India. There are a lot of words you could use to describe Sacred Games. The one that I’m going to go for is bold. Utterly different from anything we’ve seen come out of Indian cinema or TV, the […]
Romeo and Juliet
If I say love story what is the first story that comes to your mind? For a substantial number of people, it’s Romeo and Juliet. It’s probably one of the most oft quoted literary works ever. From children’s movies like “Gnomeo and Juliet” to pop songs like Taylor Swift’s “Love Story”, the play has been […]
Riverdale Vs Archies comics
Spoiler Alert I think it’s time we address the elephant in the television that is Riverdale. Just about every kid who has lived between the 40’s and now has, at some point or the other, read an Archie comic. Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica are names that everyone has grown up with, a quintessential part […]
Glitter And Gloss
There are a variety of genres, categories and types of book, each with their own fan following. However one particular category is universally disliked and no writer wants his or her work to be labeled under this category. These are the books that ought never to have been written. I am sorry to say that […]
The Brilliance Of Austen
This year marks the bicentennial death anniversary of one of the greatest authors to have ever lived- Jane Austen. With that in mind I thought it was time for a tribute to her genius. Austen was brilliant, and centuries ahead of her time. In a world that had ridiculous expectations of women, she created some […]
Harry Potter and the very misguided spin-off
If you are at all like me, you probably spent the better part of your childhood reading/ watching/ obsessing over the Harry Potter series. It isn’t even a franchise anymore. It has become a phenomenon really, defining and shaping an entire generation, and reinventing the fantasy genre. Harry Potter and the (excuse the colloquial term) […]
