  I’ve been meaning to post about my new Vibram FiveFingers for a while now but can only find the time to do it now. I came across the product in Facebook, when one of my friends was tagged for the product advertisement. The shape of the ‘shoes’ intrigued me so I did my own [...]

  When I saw the billboard for Inception many months ago nearby, I thought that the movie would be some kind of Michael Bay’s or Roland Emmerich’s catastro-fest movie. I read and heard so many good reviews about it that made me quite curious and excited to see it. I have never been a fan [...]

  New York, I Love You is a collection of microcosmic stories, each an episode in itself that is interlinked with one another. After a successful Paris, je t’aime (which I unfortunately haven’t seen), Emmanuel Benhiby decided to use New York as the next backdrop of love stories. Some are tragic, some are sweet and [...]
