A must watch : Why Women Kill?

Definitely a hit! 

So you know how instragram keeps on showing un-related videos in your feed. That's how I came across this dark beauty. Gennifer Goodwin has been a favourite of mine for years. She is underrated and unfortunately its always her haircuts that grab more limelight than her acting. You may remember her in movies like 'He's Not That Into You' and 'Monalisa Smile' or as Mary Margaret from 'Once Upon A Time'.  And then we have Lucy Liu from yester-years 'Ally McBeal' which seemed like a romantic show when I was a teen only to later on realise it was actually crap when I grew up. She was also seen in 'Elementary' in AXN, a
watered down version of Sherlock which was also crap. But Charlie's Angels was good. So yeah, seeing that instagram feed was interesting and being a content snob, I kept on thinking how don't I recognise this scene? 

Here's where my favourite word comes in : Research. I say that more times than I cuss actually. Because everything is Research: your plants are dying, Research. Your cake doesn't fluff, Research. Hollandaise sauce, Research. Its all there is. So I turned on my 'Nerd Alert' and found this.

The show is funny right from the introduction music. You have to watch it to know what I'm talking about. The character sketches are good, they are dark and twisty, but witty. You will get a few good laughs. But it also pings your heart in a couple of places. The narrative technique is engaging and thoughtful. 


If you want to watch something unique but funny, this show will be a great watch. 

Available on Voot. Or if you're a rich person, stream online from the CBS portal. Season 1 is out. And its all-conclusive. It doesn't leave you on the edge, waiting for Season 2. But I'm hoping there will be a Season 2 soon! 

Happy Watching!

Packing Suitcases...

"I have barely traveled outside my own state."..Now that's a statement.Really.I have been staying in my own state West Bengal for the last 29 years of my life.And I have barely traveled outside of it.No,I'm not attached to my city so much,if that's what you are thinking.Its exactly the opposite.I'm a bohemian.I don't have sentimental attachments to places.I never did.My late father used to work in the Government sector and that meant a lot of transfers.I have been to the remotest of villages in West Bengal(Perks of being an honest policeman) with my family ever since I was a kid.I don't remember those days as I was just a toddler but from what my mother has told me,we have often lived in places with no electricity to times when my mother had to keep ducks and hens in the house and sell their eggs in the market to make ends meet(like I said perks of being an honest policeman).But as far as I can remember I was never really very sad to move places.Rathe

Bulbbul : A love affair between nuanced filmmaking and hauntingly-beautiful storytelling

When Netflix released the trailer of Bulbbul, it caught mass attention. Since the lockdown, the viewership-graph shows aundiences worldwide have been screaming for content - good, bad, mediocre, or whatever. Lockdown has inevitably locked us down in our homes and the availability of prime OTT platforms competing against each other to rank among the best of the best, has made viewers spoilt for choice. There's something for everyone and everyone can call dibs now. 2020 is a washout year when it comes to many things, I mean this year has witnessed so many marriage cancellations that don't be surprised if one fine day, we come to know that divorce lawyers have become extinct because no marriages took place in this year. I mean, who will feed the supply-&-demand curve! But this year has also champoined brilliant content which on any other year would have been just meh!!!  We had 'Dark', we had 'You', we had 'Asur', we had 'Why Women Kill', we had

Singapore Diaries 1-The shakti of MDH Masalas and Ma ka pyaar.

On my first International Flight to Singapore through Silk Air I was as excited and petrified as a kid is on the first day of school.The morning of 20th October'15 and the days before that I was an emotional mess to be honest.It was the first time I was leaving my family and going to an unknown country.Now one may say that its the same if I had left Kolkata and gone elsewhere,any other city in India,I would have felt equally alone.But I beg to differ.See the thing is that any other city in India might have been unknown but it would have been the same Country.The people may look different like for example if you shifted to Kashmir or Jammu you might have suffered from a bit of fair-and-lovely complex as people there are all the colour of plaster of paris with a tinge of pink on their cheeks.Similarly if you would have travelled to the south,people may look at you if you are even remotely as fair as me because there the fair-and-lovely complex is in reverse.The dresses may have va
