Brock Lesner Finds Himself in a Tangle Post UFC 200; UFC and WWE in a SOUP

I was about to do a full feature on UFC's most famous and hyped 200th PPV but the news that Brock Lesner, the co-headliner of Mega, Landmark Event had failed a drug test made me changed my mind. Brock as we all know is an athlete of few equals in world, has been my key reason to cover this event. He made a triumphant return in Octagon against Mark Hunt, the number 8th ranked heavyweight MMA fighter in world and collected a winner's purse of USD 2.5 millions but this latest development of a failed drug test will not only jeopardize his earnings but as well his future engagements with both WWE (which he currently signed with) and UFC (no one can deny his future with them). He is currently scheduled to fight Randy Orton at WWE flagship event of Summerslam, a fight that was 14 years in the making but everything will be in dark now. WWE too has revised its drug-test policy to tilt in recent years and regularly suspends its performers when they fail it. They have, just couple of weeks ago, suspended their biggest superstar in making, Roman Reigns in violation of its drug test policy and presently under Triple H regime, I have little doubt why they would spare Brock......Keeping in light with these events, I shall now aim to do a feature on UFC after their 202nd PPV which is scheduled to main event Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz 2 fight......Till then, adios!!!!

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...

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...

Film Essay: Room (2015)

This is an appreciation post for Oscars Best Feature Film Nominee, the number 7th, Room (2016). Every once in a while in English-speaking world, a courageous director comes up with an audacious project that blows your mind away and you just couldn't fathom what you really experienced. These words might sound hollow if I am going to describe the authenticity of Room (2015). Whatever I shall be writing hereafter shall in no way do justice to the brilliance of this movie and I cannot possibly come up with any more adjectives to ornament it for they all would fall short. So let me narrate you the experiences of my fellow colleagues who are more popular, widely read and certainly more accomplished than me: Rotten Tomatoes: Led by incredible work from Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay, Room makes for an unforgettably harrowing – and undeniably rewarding – experience. Richard Roeper (Chicago Sun-Times) : The most impressive piece of filmmaking I've seen in 2015, and one of the best...
