Books I would recommend
5 Best Books

I liked your review because it was small and hence, readable. But maybe writing a line for every book wasn't enough, especially since almost all five of the books you mentioned are kind of unknown. But I am sure I will search for the titles on my next visit to my book club. Cheerio, Saksham

Satirical masterpiece
Catch-22 - Joseph Heller

I know why. There was this other book that was named -18, and the editor didn't want the book to be confused with that other book. What is that something? Saksham

Mostly Infamous
Almost Famous Movie

Finally some sense in reviews! I was sick of all the mindless blabbering of some jobless people who like to call themselves analysts, before i stumbled upon your review. Thoroughly readable fare. Am going on to read your other review. Do keep on writing for the sake of sanity of others! Saksham

Show me my true business
CNBC TV 18

Maybe no one is going to read this comment, as it is 33rd for a review wrote an year ago. Still, I couldn't stop myself from hating the review and telling this to whoever cares. Amrita is wont to think too high of herself, and disagrees for the sake of disgreeing. Also, I wonder how she remains t...he star writer, if her last review is an year old?? My advice to her: Stop bitching, and learn to be humble.Read More

How to make your computer work faster?
General Tips on Computers

Does it work? As in, do the startup programs eat up so much resources as to slow down one's computer? I believe that one should think twice before shutting a process down. Maybe there is some antivirus process or something. Nice review, though. To the point. keep writing Saksham

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Q: Did you like the review? A: I dont know. I think it was meant for children. But I did find the style quite imaginative. Will borrow it some time or the other. Saksham

Fight Club: Know Yourself

''You have to be able to answer this question: If you died right now, ho would you feel about your life?'' Fight club is not your regular timepass stuff. It makes you sit up and take notice, and then you are glued! The plot is singular, and the developement extraordinary. The story is far-fet...Read more

System Error
Matrix Revolutions Movie

for reading and commenting on my review. I see your point about being vague, especially after reading your review. Just wanted to clarify one thing - why I gave the movie such high rating after criticizing it left right and centre. This is because though the movie was not what I would have liked it ...to be, but it was worth a dekko in its its own right... the effects et al. Bye, and keep writing. SakshamRead More

Must-watch
Finding Nemo Movie

Hey Lyla, So sorry to know about your sister-in-law. But I couldn't believe you have assigned more than 18000 ratings! Saksham

The Black Death
Knowing More About Diseases / Illness

The piece is very informative and makes interesting (though scary) reading. Do keep coming up with similarly well-written articles, though I believe no one will mind brighter topics. Best, Saksham

Reviewed Finding Nemo Movie

Must-watch

There are times when you want just pure entertainment. When you dont want to think or analyse (think Matrix-3), or chew your nails, but just lie back and enjoy. Finding Nemo is the movie for such moments. This animation comedy tells about an overprotective Dad (everyone's a fish, and no one a...Read more

Reviewed Catch-22 - Joseph Heller

Satirical masterpiece

I was bored before I could finish the first fifty pages, and I told so to the guy who had recommended the book. He said, ''Carry on till about a hundred pages, and if you don't find it appealing, drop it. It's not your kind of book.'' Catch 22 may or may not be your kind of a book. But if you...Read more

Reviewed War And Peace - Leo Tolstoy

The best book I have ever read.

I was getting a week off from my normally hectic schedule, and my local book club guy suggested I do some more serious reading than Harry Potter or Jeffery Archer. He handed me a copy of Tolstoy's ''War and Peace''. To be frank, the sheer bulk of the book was intimidating, and in the beginnin...Read more
