England is blessed with such a vast and large literary heritage that their movie-makers don’t have to look very far for a good story. On the downside, there are several versions of the same classic, putting pressure on the creative team to bring their own interpretation to the story without insulting the memory of the writer. The Plot Now I have never read Bleak House, but the casting was enough reason to watch this BBC …

There is a lot one can do in Boston. One of the oldest cities in the USA, it’s an important landmark in the freedom movement and a dream destination for history buffs. It also happens to be one of the biggest college towns in the country with Harvard and MIT campuses – so there is always a young crowd here keeping things fresh. I happened to be in Boston in the summer of 2008 for…

It’s no different from any other small dusty town in Southern India, except it is home to the largest Diocese church in Asia. The short two-hour drive on Medchal highway (NH-7) is made easy by the good roads and in India that counts for something. If it’s the right season, you may be lucky to get excellent views…
I may be in the minority when I say genuinely enjoyed the first season of Iron Fist. I binge-watched it over 2 nights and was a little shocked to see all the critical backlash against the show and the lead actor, Finn Jones.
