Is Game of Thrones 'Season 6' a Bollywood Production?

Yeah, it's been a while. Let's start with GoT S06 E08. This whole season has been so disappointing and frustrating that given a suitable option, I would really like to hang on but let's go on for a while. Daenaris Targaryan gets kidnapped by her baby dragon and drops her off in Khal Dothrak. She comes back to Meeren after burning everything and with whole lot of Dothraki soldiers. Anything surprising???? Arya Stark decides to be a STARK again and makes her wishes known to Jaqen H'Ghar (It's really an exotic name). He decides to drop her off the hook instead via Waif. Waif is a lusty killer but she really can't kill Baby Arya. This is Bollywood stuff, really and It's Waif's face that gets hung on one of the pillars of 'House of Black and White'. But what's really is this 'House of Black and White' anyway? Surprises, not really!!!!

OK.....Who is this Breyndan 'The Blackfish' Tully? During Episode 5, Ser Davos Seaworth, former secretary of Stannis Baratheon and present secretary of John Snow (or Stark?), calls our Mr. Blackfish a Legend but in episodes to follow, we never really get to know what Blackfish had done to achieve his legendary status. Jamie Lannister prefers to call him a 'old goat' instead. Disappointing, yes. He, also gets killed during the not-so-fierce battle of Riverrun by some rookie soldier in one-on-one swordfight and producers don't even let us watch his death. We get to see a Lannister goodbye to his another sweetheart Brienne of Tarth in barter....What a shame!!!

And wait, where the hell are Dorne and Jorah Mormont in this shitstorm? Episode 9 is approaching and we are going to get Bolton Army slaying the hapless Wildings army of Snow but wait, Littlefinger is gonna turn up.....surprised, eh? With episode 10, this season shall come to a closure and then in season 7, we are going to get 7 episodes and in 8, only 6 and there are so many stories begging for a closure in GoT. But I would hope, for all my fondness for LOST, GoT is not going to bundle up in another LOST!!!!!

The Leftovers: A Very 'Special' HBO Production

Three things that have occupied my mind for last three days in descending order of importance are: Justin Trudeau, Heinrich Klassen and The Leftovers. I am going to write here about the least important entity for I am likely to forget about it most urgently. The Leftovers is an HBO production and like the most HBO productions, it makes for a great television experience. I chose to watch it for two reasons: First, it was only three season long with 28 episodes in total and secondly, for two years running, it was the best TV show in American Landscape. There was a third reason as well and it was in the name of its creator's promise. Damon Lindelof is one of the brightest American minds and he gave us 'Lost' all those years back. I have been a huge fan of 'Lost' and till this time, gush about its fantastical and mythical elements. People still find it very hard to crack the mysteries of Lost and when a show leaves you with more questions than the answers after its 8

Book Review: Unanswered

'Unanswered' is a book penned by Mr. Kunal Uniyal and it's his third book. I am calling it a book, using a common noun to describe it and I have a good enough reason for doing so. It's a book that consists off both poems and prose and I was in real dilemma picturing its prognosis in my mind. It started with a poem named 'You and I' and beautiful it was, all poised and lyrical. And then came a snippet of a prose by the name 'Life of a Yogi'. They were really not connected and I was perplexed. Then I allowed myself some comfort and decided to dig up some more. Some more beautiful poems and accompanying yet again not quite related passages of prose followed but now they looked more in shape and very much in order. Now I was beginning to realize that there was more to this book than met my eyes earlier and it's scope is much wider that what I originally thought. You are required to engage yourself with this book and once you do that, you will know you ar

Bollywood-ish Brothers: A Fan's Experience on the Unexpected Horror Show

This is about 'Brothers'...... Perfect casting is an integral part of great film-making. Recent examples can be cited of 'Badlapur' and 'Haider' where every small role had a capable actor at its helm. Also, these were the only two films where I would like to swap the 'lead actor' for one another, i.e. Shahid for Badlapur and Varun for Haider. They could have done justice to their roles in altered scenario, regardless. I am a great admirer of Akshay Kumar. He is a true professional and very capable actor who doesn't complain about his roles and choices once he commits himself to a producer and his films. He has been much derided in the past for his choices but those who are aware of his professionalism, knows that he is capable of remarkable feats. So when my great friend, Ambareesh Singh first told me about the official Bollywood remake of 'Warriors' and that Akshay Kumar is the first lead, I was very happy. We were together in Rajasthan
