SATYAMEVA JAYATE!

That was surely one hell of a try for a debut novel. The truth is sometimes so naked that it literally had to run for cover 321 pages long. What was being narrated in this book is what is simmering inside every careless, self-conscious, reckless youth wandering over and around. These things expatiated in the novel are those that we had buried deep ages before under the soil of languor and cowardice. Those we wanted to loudmouth to the bloodsuckers and money-mongers to kick some sense into the population, that's turning crazier every year. The spark, the uprise of the youth cult, we had witnessed in the Middle East should have set its foot on Indian soil too. I wish its incense had wafted all the way to India and had done something for a start. Not that our citizens aren't able enough. But they would certainly back off if it's going to cause some good or maybe leave the can of worms open. How many ever HD video footage, they make that shows wonderful frames of delightful India, the delirious darkness could never be made visible or caught on cameras. People per se eat those crap and live on it.

India is finally going to be what we dreamed of. A new age Dark continent with the most dangerous species of the Mongoose, Wild boar or stork kind reigning over. Whatever the Sultans and the Mughals had done is long forgotten except for the Higher secondary history lessons. Kids must be simply stopped from being taught about the Constitution crap. We know it's shitty everywhere, the picture is dirty all over. Don't make them eat it too. Our super-flawed leaders dig into fresh faeces and puke them right onto the poor's faces, which is being happily accepted in turn. Just as Balram says, "Revolution is ruled out here."Better keep doing what you were doing. Be dumb! See Dumb! Do the dumbest! End of story.

This one had whip-lashed the Indian society straight on its bare back. Distinct effort!

MOVIE REVIEW-POSSUM

Possum (2018) Director: Matthew Holness Starring: Sean Harris, Alun Armstrong A defamed children's puppeteer who is emotionally unstable and psychologically scarred plans to dispose of his grotesque puppet.

His step-father also lives next door with whom he has an estranged relationship. Meanwhile, a young boy in the same neighbourhood gets kidnapped and the policemen start suspecting the puppeteer for it, given his weird behaviour and constant trips with the bag.

ALL FOR NOTHING

A text's verbosity reaches unfathomable grandiosity when poetry meets prose. Michael Ondaatje is gifted enough to weave a tale that's tragic in parts but wholly serene. At its core, "In the Skin of a Lion" treads the rugged path that courses a life chart making the journey somewhat worthwhile. Patrick Lewis is wildly swayed by the situational currents while what he truly yearns for is an ounce of regulated love. Love that is messy, uncompromising and effusively profound enough to make him feel things. At the fag end of his life, Patrick understands the universe's twisted sense of humour. In Patrick's case, timing plays a cursed role. Expectations are detached to deadlines. Everything has to run its course. Alignments don't care about our whims and fancies. "Trust the process", we've been told. But here's the neat part. By the time the pieces fall into place, everything ceases to makes sense; all dwindled down to a bunch of baloney. Al...

MOVIE REVIEW- MODIGLIANI

MODIGLIANI (2004) Director: Mick Davis Starring : Andy García, Elsa Zylberstein, Omid Djalili Biopic of famous Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. The movie is set in Paris in 1919 and takes you on an artistic journey showcasing the life and works of Modigliani. During that era, Modigliani's biggest rival was another world-famous artist, Pablo Picasso. Their competition, self-centric approach and ego project them as mighty contenders and arch-rivals in the field of art. This eventually leads them to face each other in a famous competition that the whole world was waiting for Modigliani Vs Picasso. The works of Modigliani stood the test of time and were celebrated because of the emotions they radiated. To this day, this is being examined. All of Modigliani's works were the manifestation of his own emotions and experiences. This movie beautifully captures the personal story of the artist and closes with a climax that will leave you feeling heavy. Andy Garcia amazingly impers...
