    ” Vitiligo is just another difference like freckles, big hair, tiny ears. Everyone has differences.

    Remember how I had mentioned my ordeal to finish up a Marathi novel took ages. Well I am trying to reduce the inefficiency to read Marathi novels so that I can finish them quickly. I achieved that with my second novel. So kudos to myself on the achievement. Though believe me I still have a long way to go, but this is supposed to be a great start.

    The novel Mahashweta revolves around the issue of a skin disorder called vitiligo/ leucoderma. The main protagonist is a woman named Sudha who belongs to a middle class household. She is married to a rich household due to her beauty. She has been married for two years when suddenly a tragedy strikes. She develops a small white patch on her thigh which later on develops into her entire body. Due to her skin disorder she is thrown out of her house.

    So does she end up becoming a damsel in distress or does she redeem herself ? That is for you guys to find out. The novel tries to explore the skin disorder and tries to shackle the myths related to it.

    Dr. Sumati Shetramade has made a great attempt to make her readers understand the skin disorder . She also must be credited for her strong female protagonist Sudha who despite difficulties tries to rise up like a phoenix. I enjoyed reading the book because it never had a dull moment in it. So do tell me about your experiences as well in the comments section. Happy reading !!!

    “Patriotism was a living fire of unquestioned belief and purpose.”

    After a pretty long time I listened to the beautiful ghazal sung by the legendary singer Jagjit Singh, “hoshwaalon ko khabar kya” . That made me decide that if I had to catch up my next movie then it had to be the movie Sarfarosh. Yes, the beautiful ghazal belongs to the movie.

    Sarfarosh is a movie which revolves around the issue of illegal arms trade. Illegal arms trade is a serious issue which endangers a country. This is because the proceeds obtained from them are used to fund activities like terrorism.

    After having his brother killed and his father paralysed, a young medical student joins the Indian Police Service to wipe out the terrorists responsible for endangering his country. The movie has everything in it- elements of romance, thriller and a heavy dose of action.

    Aamir Khan is fantastic as ACP Ajay Singh Rathod. Naseerudin Shah is smug as the Muhajir singer Gulfam Hassan. Mukesh Rishi as Inspector Salim steals the show whenever he has a scene in the movie. The movie though a debut by John Matthew is a fantastic take on the issues plaguing our country . It is a reality check as far as the security of the country is concerned. Overall the movie doesn’t bore you a single moment.

    So do catch up with the movie to fulfill your dose of patriotism, action and drama. Do tell me your favourite parts in the comments section. Happy watching guys!!!

    ” Ye dosti hum nahi todenge, todenge dum magar tera saath na chodenge. ” goes the song from the iconic movie Sholay. The movie celebrates the iconic bromance between Jai and Veeru.

    It is not the only movie to celebrate bromance. Bollywood has always loved its movies which have portrayed the emotion. But if you think that the feeling of bromance is restricted to movies only then you have got it completely wrong.

    Even web series have embraced the theme of bromance. The series I am going to talk about is Nalayaks. It marks the debut of Pawan Yadav and Rajat Verma. It is the story of two friends who study in class 11 of a government school, Sandy and Ladoo. Sandy is shown to be a street smart fellow while Ladoo is a guy who tags along. Remember Circuit from the Munnabhai series?

    The show revolves around the misadventures of these two. They try to enjoy the pleasures of the world without working hard for it. They try to woo girls, fool around and even land in jail together. However their bromance goes for a toss when Sandy gets his moment of fame as the state topper. With his fame he gets the girl of his dreams Rinki as well.

    So does the bromance continue or is it a new beginning for the two friends who call each other brothers?Do watch the show to find out. The show has several USPs to it- First it has that Delhi vibe to it. The show has been set in Delhi- Gurgaon area. Plus the authentic portrayal by the lead actors make it an interesting watch. Secondly there is never a dull moment in the show. The characters of the show crack you up that you go ROFL. Thirdly the bromance by the lead actors is pretty interesting. You do feel for each of their moments. And last but not the least the web series has an unexpected happy twist to it.

    Do watch the show and tell me about your experiences in the comments section. Happy watching till then.
