As the laid back chef of a restaurant , Warm & Cozy on Jeju island he has very little to do tillContinue reading “Warm & Cozy”

My first brush with murder mysteries must have been Agatha Christie novels. Enid Blyton had mysteries dealing with small thefts & the five find outers or the famous five solved them.Normally nobody got killed. With intrigue,mystery & thefts, came murder. The marathi magazine ‘Dakshata’ had the stories in details. The emphasis more on how wasContinue reading “Murder…they say”

After finishing the show, I feel the ‘Reply 1988’ is the best. Just started with the third in the series ‘Reply 1997’ but I have this strong feeling. It has Park Bo Gum & Go Kyung pyo, sure but the story is better. The families have such ties that have become extinct today. Each familyContinue reading “Reply 1994”

I am at the last episodes & winding up the loose ends. But my Youtube clip has already revealed the end. So no surprises there. But I am still sympathetic towards the baseball player. The player was competitive & tenacious then than the other fellow. Here too, the player is a better option! I likedContinue reading “Reply 1994”

The suggestion was for days but due to the murder mystery I kept on postponing it. But it is really good. With the cast as Nawaz & Radhika Apte is was going to be gripping. What follows is the drag when the politicians interfere & the investigation has to be abandoned. The end is superblyContinue reading “Raat Akeli Hai”
