Di Caprio's 'Before The Flood': Global Warming Can't Get Anymore Real


There was a time during my academic pursuits when I had to present an argument for the sake of my grades that Global Warming was a hoax and Al Gore, its biggest promoter, was nothing more than a crook.......Now some years later, my conviction about Al Gore is still strong (based on facts) but Global Warming, no it isn't a hoax anymore. Every year we hear that this year is gonna be the warmest and I feel shit.....It's as much true a fact that Sun rises in the east and I now know that my professor wasn't going to give a shit what global warming was, sitting in a well air-conditioned room. It was a test for checking out our debating skills and although I won that day comprehensively, I now feel like a person who is deceiving none but himself.......

On 21st October, Leonardo Di Caprio, a prominent environmentalist, an UN representative and goodwill ambassador and actor par excellence, released a documentary titled 'Before the Flood' in association with National Geographic Channel. It raises many concerns among which the most prominent was that our next generation is not going to be an engineer, a doctor or an MBA. They could only hope to be survivors of the torrid, unprecedented environmental impacts that are going to occur nonetheless in 50-100 years of time. This documentary is up for free-viewing till this Sunday and you can watch it on either YouTube or NGC's streaming site. Now some of you might label it as a truly propaganda film but mark my words, as someone who has opposed this phenomenon for many years, it's as much true as it gets.......watch it and if you could, do something about it!!!

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...

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...
