It wasn't long time ago that I thought Modern Family was the best internationally acclaimed comedy series on TV, but change is what happens every time you think you know something. I watched the first season of Veep and realized theres nothing quite like it. A comical satire on American Politics, it spoke to me cuz it came awfully close to my perception of American Politics. And the curses- they are half the fun of that show. Universally critically acclaimed, its a sparkling Crown jewel of HBO. So the plot revolves around a rich bred politician Selina Mayer, played by 'American TV's Meryl Streep'- Julia Louis Dreyfus, who dreams of becoming the first elected female President of the United States, but mostly for the perks and power, and not quite for the privilege and duties of the position. She is not a good orator, not an intellect, nor a fine stateswoman, and everyday is a disaster waiting to happen in her office. The show begins after she loses the election t...

More than the heroes its the villains that entice me, in general and in entertainment. Over the years the spectrum of con characters was widened incredibly. Its not just black and white anymore. Every person has a balance of goodness and darkness in them, which is now thankfully reflected more and more in entertainment world. I like my antagonists whimsical, bitchy and glamourous. I have written a lot about actors and icons so I thought why not bring spotlight to some brilliant villains. Here's my list. Let me know your views... 6. Captain Chantel DuBois (Madagascar 3) Wikipedia says " Captain Chantel DuBois (voiced by Frances McDormand) is a Monegasque animal control officer and the main antagonist of the third Madagascar movie. She is the best animal control officer in Monte Carlo with a perfect success record.

So I started watching this amazing sitcom called '2 Broke Girls' for the lack of any other thing to watch and I very soon fell in love with the characters. The title refers to 2 poor women called Max Black and Caroline Channing, the lead persona brought to life by Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs. While Max Black is a hardy girl with no hope, expectation or optimism about her future or life in general, due to her traumatic childhood, no father and an alcoholic mother who did not care, Caroline Channing on the other hand is a rich, spoilt, brought up like a princess, daughter of a disgraced billionaire called Martin Channing who lost his Billions after the government found out about his Ponzy scheme of loot and put him behind bars forever. Hence Caroline is left with nothing, no money, no friends, no home and is forced to streets and work as a waitress at a 3rd class diner at minimum wage, where she meets Max Black. The story depicts a comical journey of two ghastly differen...

She is an actor, a singer, a dancer, a director, a producer, a model, a fashionista, a philanthropist, a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, a no one to a Global Icon story: Priyanka Chopra is living the dream and she very well deserves it. The story began in 2000 when a girl born and brought up at Jamshedpur, Jharkhand won the Miss India World title and went on to win Miss World beauty pageant. I am a huge huge fan of Priyanka Chopra, not from the very beginning, but from the times when she showed the world how versatile of an actor she is. My favourite movies of her would be Bajirao Mastani, Mary Kom and Fashion. Other than that most of the projects she is choosing these days are very diverse and high in Quality. This careful curating of her work is quite new actually. Like every other beautiful women who wins a beauty pageant or dates Salman Khan, Bollywood embraces them with arms wide open. After winning the Miss World title Bollywood directors flocked to her doors ...

Each year starts with a gazillion Awards shows, where most talented people in their respective professions are recognised for their inspiring works in the last year, closely scrutinized by a group of respectable experts in a jury, and in some cases- the people. Not all of the awards have equal significance and/or star power. The Academy Awards, The Emmys and The Grammys are what others aspire to be. With "supposedly" unbiased juries and tremendous star power, these events are anticipated each year by music/TV/movie aficionados. I being all of the three, take a good amount of interest in all the nominations, winners and of course the red carpet. Last year when Beyoncé released lemonade, her 6th studio album I realised it was going to be an acquired taste for me. The huge praises by critics, people and contemporaries did not resonate with me and I was right. Over the time, the tracks grew on me and so it did on my dear friend who all but maintained that Adele is the act ...
