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!!!!!

A Monumental 30-years Wait for Premier League Title is Finally Over for Liverpool

Finally, yeah finally. Liverpool, my beloved lads in Reds conquered the England. 30 years. It's been a long wait but this title run was worth the wait..... From the bottlers of 2013-14 to the one point loser of 2018-19, to the Champions of 2019-20; it's been a remarkable story I am chasing after since 2004-05 and I have seem many come and go but Liverpool's RED stuck to me and Jurgen Klopp's mentality monsters just bulldozed their way through the English Premiere League title after 30 years in such a way that it seemed it was never ever far away from our grasp. Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur; look away now, guys.....this moment is ours to savour. There was a time when you laughed at us thinking how in hell Liverpool became 18 times champions of English Football bit this sweet 19th will remind you for a long, long time how we became 18-time English Champions at the first place. A huge shout-out to my man, Steven Ge...

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...

Racing Extinction (2015) : A Commentary

It's really hard to switch on to a different language from the one you have constantly been tinkering with. I grew so accustomed to writing in Hindi in last few days that it started dawning on me that I might never be good again with my English. So this is a tester, ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday, one of my movie group friends, an American by nationality, questioned my fondness of documentaries. I specifically wrote in one of my columns that documentaries demand your unwavering attention and once you gave 'that' to them, you are rewarded much more handsomely than a proper, narrative, fictitious film. My reasoning for believing so is that a documentary is an experience of a creative process. It doesn't get made to 'entertain' you. They are there to reveal something to you. They teach you something. You get overwhelmed by them. 'Racing Extinction (2015)' was one such documentary. I watched it in last couple of days. I couldn't complete it in one ...
