Gulzar's oeuvre: Transcending generations
What is a poet doing in a rant about changing patterns in personal communication? Is it the timelessness |
of his poetry? Or his adaptability to new media and short attention spans?
Starting with Mera gora ang lai le (Bandini) to Dham dham dhadam
in Omkara (and last year's anthem - Kajra re kajra re!) Gulzar has successfully and consistently resonated with multiple generations. His biography.
For those of us who grew up on the lethal combo of Gulzar & R D Burman, this
blog by Dipta touches a chord. Can any ode be complete without a tribute to the duo's (+ Asha) poignant pièce de résistance - Mera kuch saaman from Ijaazat? Read Finally, don't miss Gulzar's obit on RD. | |

Turn your camera into an 'Electronic Measuring Tape'
 |
iPhotoMEASURE transforms any digital camera into an "electronic measuring tape." The user simply places a small DigiTarget in the room and takes a picture.
The photo is then transferred to a computer where the software measures everything in the photo-doors, windows, walls, built-ins-with 99.5 percent accuracy. More |

Kabul Express Clip
It's set in 2001 - and it's some sort |
of space odyssey... Review by Bhardwaj Rangan.
Forget the movie. This scholarly article from The Economist bares the tragi-comic truth in Afghanistan. Sample this
"...There are infinite ways to slight a Pushtun's nang (honour), but most involve zar, zan or zamin: gold, women or land." | |
