78% of all men/women when asked about his/her ideal way to spend their leisure time would say Shopping.
It a way to de-stress for some, for others it’s the reason why they earn. Purchasing something new, innovative, colorful, antique basically anything interesting gives most of us shoppers a high.
But for the other 22% shopping can be tiresome & boring. How many malls can one see & how many shoes can one try ?
The distinct feature of Delhi markets is that every shopping hub has its own ambience and specialty. Here are …

This is not a movie review, just a few things I thought of when I saw the movie.

Yeh dilli hai mere yaar, Bas ishq mohabbat pyaar….Iske baye taraf bhi dil hai …Iske daye taraf bhi dil hai… the songs were remarkable.
Extraordinarily talented  ensemble cast- Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Waheeda Rahman , Rishi Kapoor Om Puri, Atul Kulkarni & Divya Dutta
Movie is about the People & Place, not Plot or Story.

Dev D is the latest incarnation of the epic Devdas by Saratchandra Chattopadhyay. The idea of the movie might be from the book but the implementation is anything but.
My first thought on Dev D – What a weird name for a movie ! What an eccentric song (emotional attyachaar) ! What a bizarre promo ! And finally what a strange but totally entertaining movie !
Dev (Abhay Deol) is the son of a rich industrialist from Punjab who is packed off to London for higher studies. Paro (Mahi) is the daughter …

Confession – I’m an obsessed Delhiite and I’ll love Delhi no matter how crazy it becomes.
Although, this was not always the case; there was a time when I thought Delhi sucked.
