Man who spent 19 years proving he was alive after officially being declared as dead!

Last updated on: January 27, 2013 at 1:28 pm By Desh Kapoor

Lal Bihari “Mritak” is a native of Amilo, in Azamgarh district, Uttar Pradesh, who was born in 1955. In 1975, Lal Bihari went to Revenue office in district headquarters, Azamgarh to get an Identity Proof. He was in for a rather rude shock! Officially he was dead in the Government records. Apparently, his Uncle had bribed the officials to have him declared dead officially, so he could get the ownership of just less an acre of Bihari’s ancestral land at... Read more

Vishwaroopam, a Movie Review: Controversy is unfounded; Movie is brilliant.

Last updated on: January 26, 2013 at 2:08 am By Desh Kapoor

Went to watch Vishwaroopam today. The Tamil version with English subtitles. In a hall full of Tamilians. Kamal Haasan (probably Rajnikanth as well) movies should ONLY be watched in Tamil and in a hall full of Tamilians. Otherwise, you can only appreciate the genius of Kamal Haasan, not the passion he invokes. The titles opened to whistles, and shouts in the entire hall. Suddenly I see confetti being thrown at the screen. Probably were flower petals or currency notes. Every... Read more

Prasoon Joshi’s rant on Krishna: When artists abuse artistic freedom by judging others’ art with their prejudices

Last updated on: January 25, 2013 at 7:52 am By Desh Kapoor

Krishna is said to have played Raas and danced with the Gopis – or cow-herd girls – in Vrindavan. Radha was also amongst them. His magic is said to have been such that even older women couldn’t resist his attraction. This story and ethos has proliferated a lot of poems, writings and paintings… even dances and sequences in the movies. These depictions were left to the mindset of the artists. Given how Hinduism is in terms of free interpretation, if... Read more
