Lost all Substance

Derek Holmes posted an article on King ducky - May 5, 2011, 2:35 am
Every time I see a remake of an English film into Hindi, all I do is roll my eyes and think “gosh there they go again, copying Hollywood’s work and making it Bollywood”. For me that’s what they are known for because every single time I see some dumb Hindi trailer on TV it’s just like every...

We need one location in which we can eat from the wade guy from galle face to probably hot butter cuttle fish from chinese dragon. Hawkers s...

I love food, but then again who doesn’t? When Urban Kitchen first opened up I was very impressed. It looked like a food court with a lot of class to it. The first time I ate there I was amazed at the quality of the food. The service was excellent and the waiters were so friendly and the food was ...

Yes FM’s recent campaign, the 9 days of 90′s definitely has a good listener base as I believe they’ve tapped into a good market. But you know what the issue is? we need to hear more music and less of shaqs voice. Rice ball loves music from the 90′s and so i have to torture myself and listen...

Sometimes when you really sit and think about your life, you always wonder if you have accomplished or even managed to do half the things you set out to when you made all those big plans for yourself. But the most important thing is you always wonder if you have found true love. How often do we sit ...
