'Mee Sindhutai Sapkal' has hurt deeply and encouraged further to walk the path I have chosen. Salute to Sindhtai and core strength of a woman that the modern world of 21st century still fails to recognize.

Killing Fields (of Cambodia) - A Review
Saw Killing Fields again after 10 years and was quickly reminded of why I had fallen in love with the film.
This is a hymn to the kind of love story I have come to love. There is no question of physical or platonic; it is a human love story (between Dith Pran and Sydney), a poignant reminder of the power of journalism. Salute to all sensitive and daring journalists who are more loyal to their journalistic principle - to give voice to the voiceless (Cambodia) - than to their nation or even their personal life.
The movie had changed me then and it certainly movedChandni Sheth today, who is re-watching the film with Director's commentary as I post this.
Highly recommended for cinema buffs and political junkies alike

Bloody Sunday - A Review
A fine evening spent with Chandni Sheth watching 'Bloody Sunday', a classic about the choices people make in the battle for civil liberties , the instigation for 'The Troubles' in Irish-British conflict and timely reminder that strong military action is the surest way to alienate people on the fringes and arouse them into full-scale mutiny.
