Reviewed Don 2
Being a criminal has never been this cool
(Updated May 05, 2014 01:14 PM)
Regardless of what some critics say, Don 2 is an entertainer and a paisa vasool experience. Its not an earth-shattering movie and that's probably because it is rare I would say that about any movie and I don't want to raise anyone's expectations sky high but the bottomline is that this is one mo...Read more

Make some noise for the Desi Boyz
(Updated May 05, 2014 01:10 PM)
The Director of the movie Desi Boyz, Rohit Dhawan, is getting married in February. Men often do that when they feel settled in life. When they feel that they have secured a successful path in their chosen career. Indeed, with Desi Boyz as his debut movie, Rohit Dhawan has every reason to feel th...Read more

[Myself, a B.Tech. from IIT Kanpur, have taken CAT once... last year... and I made it to MDI, Gurgaon... which is ranked no. 6 among management institutes in the country according to BT (Business Today). However, I chose not to join it as I think the ''brand value'' of the top 3 IIMs make them w...Read more

Hi there, Thanks for the praise... and, yes, I will be aiming to keep going in the same vein. Take care...
Hi there, Thanks, pal, for all the accolades... looks like we were both writing a comment at the same time! I fully agree with you when you say that reading others' reviews will serve me in good stead. It will undoubtedly make me a more complete reviewer. And it was nice you used ...my fav nick 'Shivu', which is one of the three used for me, the other two being 'Shiva' and 'Shiv'. Take care...Read More
Hi Spooks, Thanks for the praise. I took a peek at your profile and got to know why a term like 'mate' appeared in your comment. You are my new Aussie-Indian pal! Hi Abilash, Thanks to you too. Incidentally, I will be going in for my second attempt at CAT this very month.... Last year, I made it to MDI, Gurgaon (a non-IIM institute that looks at the CAT score and is ranked no.6 in the country according to Business Today). I did not join MDI as I think the brand value of the top 3 IIMs makes them worth a second try. I think you could make a request for 'Succesful Preparation for CAT' and I'll have a go at it. Take care both.Read More
Hi Pavithra, Thanks to you. You are now going to be the second person on my list of trusted people. That's the least I can do.
Hi Prasad, Thank you for your encomium. I will now proceed to add you to my list of trusted people. In fact, you are going to be the first person on that list. I am new here and I hope to see you again.

I cracked the IIT-JEE in my first attempt back in 1998 and secured an all-India rank of 713 (general category). I guess that qualifies me to advise wannabe IIT grads. I will begin with some general advice. One very important factor for achieving success is focus. That means maximum time and e...Read more

Well, first of all, let me make it very clear that I'm describing myself here only because I am requ...ired to. I think one can know me well enough only by spending a fair amount of time interacting with me. Anyways, here goes... I think I am a guy who likes to get creative (despite being an engineer by qualification; IIT engineers are often assumed to be too left-brained). Music is a major interest for me. I listen to almost anything under the sun... from Bollywood stuff (old and new)... to rock (traditional and alternative)... to western pop... to what have you. I don't play any instrument though. I guess I make up for that by dancing solo on-stage at college functions. (It all started when dad presented me with Thriller by MJ on by 4th b'day.) My other big interest is sports. I watch a lot of it on TV. I was picked for the school cricket squad when I was in 9th grade. I am into quizzing as well and have won at inter-college level. I like to pen things down (Huh, that's obvious!)Read More
