Remembering a journey

Posted on August 26, 2009September 4, 2009 by Surya

On literature and mass-market writing

Posted on July 14, 2009July 14, 2009 by Surya

Srijith and I have different interests in movies – an occasional chick flick or a romantic comedy are stuff I enjoy, while the not-so-better half is more of what I call a cine-snob: those artsy movies which make me snore after about ten minutes are more his cup of tea.
