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!!!!!

Love and Friendship

Friendship is an aspect of life that’s not controlled by its beholders. Ideal friendships, well they are the things of past now. Many a times we have seen our parents or their parents talking about their old great friends and how amusingly they tell us about their bonding, the moments they spent together and we see a ‘priceless’ twinkle in their eyes…..that’s something which is missing from modern friendships. There are terms & phrases like ‘yaar tu to apna bhai hai’, ‘yaar tu to ghar ka aadmi hai’ which even today invoke something very beautiful inside our hearts but we all know that the feelings underneath them are ‘hollow’, they are just mere words, ‘emotionless’ and ‘impassive’. Well who am I to comment on such an indefinable ‘qualitative’ perspective? I’m one of you, those wretched creatures that are still in need of true, great friendships. Well I certainly can’t say that I haven’t got friends. I’ve got friends, plenty of them in fact, and some of them are real great. I s...

P.S. Hoffman & Joaquin Phoenix: The Master

My infatuation with the movies is well known but my involvement with the actors and their characters is even more heartwarming. There are innumerable movies that I saw simply because they featured my favorite actors, however they themselves were not great. Examples could be infinite, however for the sake of this article I'll have to produce something here. Anger Management for Jack Nicholson (boy, isn't he a legend?), Swing Vote for Kevin Costner, Snatch for Brad Pitt, Legends of the Fall (Brad Pitt), Leon: The Professional, Immortal Beloved, Bram Stroker's Dracula, State of Grace & Prick up your ears; all for Gary Oldman (mind you, he is a chameleon). Meanwhile, I started accumulating some of the finest performances by some of the legendary actors of all time. Very recently, as anyone who follows me regularly knows, I grew very much fond of the craft and artistry of Daniel Day-Lewis. He is a fine, fine actor whose study and impersonation of a character is often pictur...

Book Review - Colourful Notions:The Roadtrippers 1.0

Soul-searching (or at least an effort to do that) has become the new go-to objective of our millennial directors and writers who try to weave a narrative involving some characters that are confused at most of the things that do and thus are 'ordinary' by greats' standards. They look out for an answer, of all the troubles they are having in their lives and thus look out for an endeavor which if not provides a satisfactory solution to their troubles, at least give them a respite for a short while from their unremarkable lives. Hollywood and Europeans are working on this issue from 90s and they visited the orientals as well in search of their lost inner-selves. They might think that they are closing in on a solution but what about the developing Asians? They are catching up fast with 'well-developed' (but ever-so-confusing) Americans and Europeans and thus are getting the headaches and 'made-up' problem of their owns. Well, the author of this book, Mr. Mohit G...
