Ambitious but no "2001"!  Score: 7/10 Nolan is always somebody to watch out for ever since his popularity soared with “ The Dark Knight ” trilogy. The box office success of a complex movie like Inception was proof enough. “ Interstellar ” was the most awaited film of the year for the thinking movie buffs' director and he clearly has delivered the expectations to a very large extent. The movie starts very slow trying to build upon the characters and allowing the audiences to develop a bond with their relations. It explains the need of travelling to the outer space and following the bread crumbs left to them by people they don’t know since the world is in a state of extinction for humans after the agriculture gets affected by Dwight. This first half is dedicated a lot to the relationship that the protagonist (Cooper), shares with his family, especially his daughter, who herself plays an important role in the film. The film might look a bit stretched here for...

We Indians are just crazy about either of these three things: Food, Cricket or Films. I fall in the category of the latter. I watch films with no boundaries in particular, as long as they are offering me a work of art. From S-Korean dramas, Japanese anime , German, French, Spanish, to the coming of age Iranian films and obviously Hollywood. But Hindi films are slowly alienating me with its formulaic expressions meant to do the same things over and over. Hindi films started out as one of the earliest film industries in the second decade of the 20 th century but even the ten decades have seemed to be too little for their (very) gradual evolution. Their pathetic predictability and loud ways of depictions have made the typical Bollywood films loving audience addicted to it. Now they are so wired in that every time a director even tries to go outside the box they are punished with a poor box office run, which in turn makes the producers skeptical about putting their money for such a...

Flipkart was planning the greatest shopping day for India 2-3 months prior to the 6 th   of October, 2014, taking a leaf from the billion dollar sales of Alibaba.com (Chinese e-commerce giant). Understanding their plans Snapdeal also got themselves buckled up with a plan of their own, to attract the dejected from Flipkart . They named this day “big billion day” with the motive of bringing the billion dollar population of India for one purpose under one website. Their estimation team and think tank had predicted a customer inflow 20 times of the normal weekends. 5000 servers were deployed to handle the expected traffic. Many retailers were talked and asked to participate in this festival, to help them make the deals as juicier as possible. Looking at the returns Flipkart offered them, they were more than glad to be a part of it. The reason they (Sachin and Binny) say they chose this day was because they stayed in a flat with number 610 when they came up with the Flipkart ...

TIGER: Tiger is the largest of the cat family, but unfortunately its population has been diminishing at a very high rate. It is found the most in India (~1500). The Bengal tigers are the largest in size followed by the Siberian tigers and Indonesian tigers. JAGUAR: Their bite force is the strongest and  known to kill many animals purely by crushing   their skulls. It even has the ability to crack open the shell of a tortoise. They are mostly concentrated in the South America. They are the second most critically endangered big cats after the Tigers. LION : The king of the jungle are only kings because of their roars that can reach up to 114 decibels and can be heard distances of 8  kilometers . Their majestic body also gives them the name. They are the only cat family specie who are social. Surprisingly they were the second most populous mammals after humans until the ice age around 10,000 years ago. CHEETAH: Che...
