November 23, 2022
Well…those who know me…would have very well figured out by now what SHAH RUKH KHAN means to me. If I start writing or talking about him, it will take me a day or two when I will stop. That is precisely why I haven’t written any blog, particularly focussing on…

November 13, 2022
There must be around 1000 shows that come every year. But some series are there, which just give a different level of satisfaction altogether. For me and many others too, BREAKING BAD is one such series. The slow-burner series based on a high school teacher-turned-dreaded criminal is a great mix…
