Reviewed 2 States The Story Of My Marriage - Chetan Bhagat

A feel-good love story with an underlying message

Before going into a more objective analysis of the book, let me convey an overall impression – it’s a very well written and even more readable book, and a bit of a feel-good one, too. If you love a love story, this is the book to read! Un-putdownable is the word that springs to the mouth. I fini...Read more

Reviewed Basic Instinct Movie

Film that makes you go, "Whoo!!"

I finally saw Basic Instinct. WHOO!!! It was kind of an uncut version, and as I said, “WHOO !!” Man, now I know what it means when a bad girl re-adjusts her legs improperly. The fat guy interrogating her looked like he was being interrogated under arc-lights. He was all sweaty, google-eyed, with...Read more

Quite captivating and thrilling - King rules!!
Pet Sematary - Stephen King

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the size of the book is a bit intimidating. 465 pages. :-) Here is the another review i got from amazon(amazon.com) for this book: ============ For most families, moving is a new beginning. But for the Creeds, it could be the beginning of the end. Because they...’re just moved in next door to a place that children built with broken dreams, the Pet Sematary. It’s a tiny patch of land that hides a mysterious Indian burial ground with the powers of resurrection. Master of the Macabre, Stephen King, will take you and the Creeds to hell and back. (But the Creeds don’t have return tickets.) Your tour guide is kindly old Judd Crandall (Fred Gwynne), the neighborhood nice guy who knows the secrets of life, but has seen enough to firmly believe that 'sometimes dead is better.' ======================== Regards, ShashankRead More

Quite captivating and thrilling - King rules!!

Stephen King completed writing this book, and decided to read it after six weeks of “ageing”. He found the book so terrifying, (he says, “.this time I had crossed the line”) that he put the book in a drawer, and decided that it was too far gone beyond the line to be published! It was his publish...Read more

Never Go for this Credit card
Tata Card

I think we should somehow make Ratan Tata aware of the fraudulent things Tata Card does to Tata employees!

Stay away from this card if you value your sanity

I wish there was a rating ZERO that was available here. Because that is what this card deserves. You will keep paying, Tata Card will always say they haven’t received your payment! And increase your fines, your dues! It’s a nightmare card. I used my card once, received my statement, and pa...Read more

Excellently done review. The way you have objectively broken down your review into specific parameters, it seems that you must've had an excel hidden somewhere, with weightages and ratings!

Crazy nahin, "Kangaal" kiya re!
Dhoom 2

Your reviews are quite objective - not hardcore opiniated or judgemental. Keep it up. Dhoom I was rather nice, and hearing of Hrithik's stunts that surpass Krrish's, my family says we must go watch this one. But I would be spending only Rs. 100/- per ticket now, having read this review :-). ...And I believe having reduced expectations on this one wouldn't hurt. Read More

Thanks, Moviezombie! I was trying to decide which Stephen King book to pick next : I've heard rave reviews about Cujo, and you've seconded it - so I think I'll go with that.

A fast paced book - captures your attention

This was the first Stephen King book I read (I had been meaning to read one of his books for quite some time, but never got around to it until now), and I think I can say, I wasn't completely disappointed. The starting is nice, and I have to say for this for this book - it captures your atten...Read more

Speedup at what cost ?
Speeding Up Your Internet Connection

It is important that we know the price we are paying for 'free' software. Your account is an eye openener, to say the least!! I was aware that many of the free stuff might be spyware, but I didn't know which ones are, and which ones aren't. And I think that is a problem faced by the average computer... user. They just don't know which freeware is honest, and which ones are just taking them for a ride!!!Read More

In fact, he was so fed up, he said he'd close the account, and called the 'toll free number'. After which, he was asked to cough up Rs. 500/- as administrative charges or something - since he wanted to close his account.

Good book, not quite Brf History of Time, though

This book is quite good if you want to know about what the theories about the origin of the universe had been, and what is the prevailing line of quest of the current genre of scientists is. This book is essentially a collection of lectures of Stephen Hawking, where he tries to explain about ...Read more

A wasted legacy
Lord of the Rings, The - J.R.R. Tolkien

With everyone raving crazy about the books and the movies, it was refreshing to see the whole thing from a more grounded perspective. Yes, there is a load of silly in the books, which we just close our eyes to.

Reviewed Three Men In a Boat - Jerome K Jerome

See the humor in everyday

I was reading all the reviews written here about this book, and here is my 2-bit: Three men in a Boat is an extremely humorous book. The USP of this book - of Jerome K Jerome, for that matter- is NOT funny plots. It is in presenting the everyday event as humorous. I wouldn?t really compare...Read more
