The Review Post

There was a movie called Nayak - The real hero  many moons ago. It was a remake of a South Indian film about a common man who is made chief minister for a day.

It was nice to think maybe, just maybe, there will be an end to stereotypical politicians, that a hero will rise and change the  chalta hai attitude and actually say nahi chalega, badlo ise.

The church bells ringing in the background and Last Christmas  playing in the cubicle next to yours (this song makes it on everyone's playlist this time of the year).

The thing is, I lived in hostel for a couple of years when I was in college and my Christmas experience there, is by far the best I've ever had. When I say hostel, I mean the strict kind - where our deadline was 7 pm and if you wanted to stretch 7.30 pm. It was run by a group of nuns and they were extremely strict ab...

Hello folks! Sorry for going MIA like that. It was the need of the hour and I have got none of my content plans underway yet. BUT the happy news is - it's been a year since I started this blog! Yay yay! :) I feel extremely proud that (though at snail-pace) I have put out content that I believe in and all of it original, through the year. I have certain plans for this blog and I hope to achieve them through the next year. I don't know who my readers are, except for my 4 followers - a warm thank you to you guys :) I hope to get you some company in the following year, lots more, actually! And those reading secretly, I'd really like to know who you are - do subscribe :) A big thank you to all those who supported my endeavours and stood strong beside me through my peaks and falls. You have helped me get to where I am today. You know who you are :) And with that - here's to a year of more content, and more buzz! Cheers!
