AAP is the political watchdog India needs badly

December 16, 2013 By Partha Bhattacharya 2 Comments

Ricey Bangali, Wheaty Panjabi, And Whatever In-between

July 9, 2013 By Partha Bhattacharya Leave a Comment

People in Bangladesh and in the entire east and southeast Asia including Japan and parts of China mainly eat rice. I once inquired about roti in Singapore and immediately wished I hadn’t. It’s as futile to look for veg dishes in any of these countries as for roti.

Studying Business management MBA?

Oh God, Where Are You?

Religious affiliation is at the lowest in the US now since it began to be tracked in 1930s. And in London, an atheist church, originally planning for 20 non-believers, sees an overwhelming rush of 300 persons.

Race 2 – A Review

January 27, 2013 By Tania Bhattacharya Leave a Comment

Race 2 promo picture

Maybe I have been over-exposed to better, world cinema and suspense thrillers are my favourite genre. But that would be giving way more credit to Race 2 than it deserves. Despite all the brouhaha, Race 2 disappoints even as a typical Bollywood potboiler.
