Facts n Fiction

Dear TimesJobs, I am tired of your pathetic service. Timesjobs.com is certainly not the best or No. 1 job service provider in the country, a thing that you shamelessly claim and aimlessly believe in. You do nothing but spam my email inbox. Despite my continuous emails, calls, and using the “unsubscribe” facility on your portal, I still receive job alerts, none of which are useful to me. Let me also inform you that your call center executives are absolute morons and dumb fellows who neither can understand anything said in English nor can comprehend what is being told to them in any other language. What surprises me? In spite of having unsubscribed, I still receive some idiotic job alerts. In that email I click on the “ Unsubscribe ” link, and then the portal takes me to a page where it says “ your profile is incomplete; enter the following details to complete registration ”. Now when my profile is incomplete, how and why do I receive job alerts, which I certainly don’t require...

I am happy, terribly happy. Relieved actually! I had been going through the sinusoids of fright, terror, disgust, and all such similar painful emotions ever since I had heard the rumour that “Abhishek Bachchan is going to play Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in a remake of Agneepath”. However, my heart beats got normal after KJo confirmed that Hrithik will play the lead instead. I understand that Agneepath is not an ancestral-dynastical-protégé , wherein it gets handed over from Yash Johar to Karan Johar, and from Amitabh to Abhishek. None of them could or can do justice to such a kind of film, considering that it’s a direct lift from a masterpiece – Scarface (let Bollywood make one million remakes, but I doubt anyone can match the magic of Brian De Palma and Oliver Stone , or even Howard Hawks and Ben Hecht – original writers of the 1932 film of same name). Yash Johar would have been insane to equate Vijay Dinanath Chauhan to Tony Montana . Amitabh did no wonders either; Rani M...

I have been smitten by literature bug lately. I have been searching and researching on Internet about authors of the 17th, 18th century. I had dug down deep into works of "Henrik Ibsen", "Friedrich Nietzsche", "George Eliot", "Daniel Defoe", "Voltaire", "Alexandre Dumas", etc. While navigating in those times of history, I also came across one good creation, not in literature though, it was in art. However, there was something that made me pull that piece of art and put it up here on my blog. What I found? Ah! I thought her to be Leonardo's Monalisa but she turned out to be - "arey he tar Deshpandenchi Monalisa" Ain't she...?
