Condolence: Bhupen Hazarika was a colossal figure, an institution into himself. Probably one of the very few people from North east who had a pan Indian appeal.

Blistering barnacles….Tintin is here!!

What a wonderful movie this one could be. I surely will be seeing this one. I recall we used to fight for tintin in the library. Wait for someone to return the book; conspire to get, hide under rack so as to read it again. Tintin is a visual treat (same holds with Astreix). Now that they have made it into a movie the expectations are high. I gather there is no Prof. Calculus in the animated version…geez what a letdown. Wonder how they will create that inimical change of expressions on Captain…as he comes out of the stupor. Then we have Snowy getting drunk, not to forget Thompson cousins. This is really quite exciting!!!
