Pune’s heroes
We live in Kaliyug, the era when evil overshadows the good. But some Punekars are a stark reminder that the good still survives in some of us.
Gotham has a Dark Knight, Metropolis has Superman, Pune has a true Punekar, one who lies in each of us. Our powers are limited, our actions might not be too...

The Warrior’s Swan Song
Recently, Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium, Pune played host to Pune Warriors final home game against Delhi Daredevils with the last two spots of the table up for grabs. The winner of this match would avoid the dubious distinction of finishing last in the points table. Both the teams had a tournament to forget,...

Who’s who of Shiva Trilogy
Like many of you, I am enthralled by Amish Tripathi’s ‘Shiva Trilogy’ series. The fictional tale of Lord Shiva, a Tibetan tribal who arrives in Meluha in search of peace for himself and his clan, got me hooked. I fell in love with the ‘Neelkanth’, the ‘Destroyer of Evil’. Last year,...

Being a Puneite
After the stupendous success of the Kothrudite (now it will be Kothrudkar as many voted for) and Sadashiv Pethi articles, it only seems right to write on those that were left out: the Puneites.

Sex on the Moon: An Amazing Heist chronicled
As I picked up the book reading just the first half of the title and wondering if it was lying in a misplaced section of the bookstore, I was intrigued by the plot. If either of these two feats were true, I knew it would make a gripping tale. Recounted by Ben Mezrich, who has penned down The Accidental...

Star Trek: Into Darkness – A non-fan review
Not a ‘Trekkie’. Never was. Wouldn’t be wrong to state that I booked tickets to this movie only because I’m a huge ‘Big Bang Theory’ fan and Benedict Cumberbatch makes me go weak in my knees. Fifteen minutes into the movie, and you figure out that it’s okay to...

Mother’s Day
God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.
While the above words may make sense, I personally don’t really vouch for it to be the truth. God is omnipresent, he is everywhere and within everything, so that dispels that first part of the sentence. Secondly, the belief that mother’s...
