Gary Oldman: Finally a (G)oldman

About time, Academy corrected a long due mistake and gave the Oscars to the worthiest candidate for world's greatest living actor title, I.e. Gary Oldman. They acknowledged and bowed down to the astonishing body of work of Gary Oldman and provided him with the 'coveted' moment. 34 years and more than 34 faces later, Gary Oldman has got his Golden Man. All of Britain must be happy for him and I propose that they give Gary the Knighthood as soon as possible.


I also believe all his peers, colleagues, followers and students must be over the moon at this moment. Actors like Daniel Radcliffe, Thomas Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Fassbender, Colin Firth, Anthony Hopkins, Daniel Day Lewis, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Tobey Maguire, Shia Lebouf and many, many others have long considered him the G.O.A.T and his absolute Domination of Winston Churchill's persona was the fitting finale of a 'glorious' career. A Cinematic Chameleon par excellence got the Oscars for another one of his 'chameleonic' self. All the Cinematic Gods must be smiling over him from the heaven.

Here is a three fingers royal salute to World's greatest living actor, Gary 'Freaking' Oldman......

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...

Two Faces of World Cricket: A Baffling Scenario

In months of March-April this year, ICC scheduled the World T-20 Qualifiers for associate teams in Ireland and Scotland. Two spots were reserved for 12 teams in World T-20 scheduled to be played in India in March 2016. Tricky scenario is that they will again have to participate in a qualifier event before the commencement of actual world cup where they will compete against the likes of Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. So you see how tough is their journey to the center arena of World Cricket. So in the aforementioned qualifier event, Nepal and Oman were competing in a match. I wanted to see the match live on Star Sports 1 which was the official broadcaster of this event. But I didn't get to see it for Star was supposedly broadcasting only 16 matches from the tournament. I was dumbfounded for I wanted to see the progress made by teams such as Papua New Guinea, Jersey, Oman, Namibia, Hong Kong, Nepal and many others first hand. But then again, some of my favorite teams qualified for the ma...
