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 […]

Review of Hooligans of Kandahar by Joseph Kassabian
This is the memoir of a US army corporal (who later gets demoted to specialist) and his deployment in Afghanistan with his squad nicknamed The Hooligans’. Living up to their name this notorious squad did plenty of outrageous things ranging from mostly harmless stuff like stealing another squad’s air conditioner to the potentially fatal firing […]
Ghoul: Review
Rating – 8/10 Set in a dystopian society where government closely regulates everything, education controlled to a point where anything apart from the state provided syllabus amounts to being charged with sedition. Ghoul is mini-series consisting of three episodes totaling a total of 2 hours 16 minutes, is a brilliantly well shot series that maintains a […]
All or Nothing : Manchester City
Documentaries are always a fascinating watch if they are able to capture the moments in a way that you feel as if you’re there witnessing the things first hand. Amazon Prime released a new documentary ‘All or Nothing – Manchester City’ narrated by Ben Kingsley on 17th August consisting of eight episodes that capture the […]
Sacred Games : No Spoiler Review

Ironically, the subjectiveness of ‘normality’ in itself is an abstract. Dealing with such colourful personalities requires one to be equipped […]
Altered Carbon | Review
If death wasn’t a guaranteed phenomenon in our universe, how different do you think our world would have been? The ultimate utopia? No wars fought in the name of god since everyone would be god? Peace and harmony for all of eternity? I, personally, think that the world would be no more different than the […]
Little Maryam| Review
The times that we live in are ironic. While we look at relationships through a kaleidoscope of practicality, every single one of us is looking for that eternal bliss called ‘love’. While some find it tugged in the arms of their loved ones, I’ve always found it in about something that is more than 100 […]
A Street Cat Named Bob
“Having Bob gave me a chance to interact with people… Cats are notoriously picky about who they like. Seeing me with my cat softened me in [others] eyes. It humanized me. Especially after I’d been so dehumanized. In some ways it was giving me back my identity. I had been a non-person; I was becoming […]
