<b>Born and brought up</b> in the UAE (Middle East), I'm in a family of 4 - my parents, elder sis & I. Being doctors, dad worked in the UAE army and mum in a private clinic. After two decades of living in a warm, comfortable Arab world, we moved back permanently to Kerala where my sister & I finished our graduation. My sis also bloomed into a doc, got married to another doc and is pursuing higher studies in dermatology (skin) now. <i>Me? the wierdo in the family?</i> I am serving time(not in prison!) for a BPO at Bangalore. Truly, I'd rather be a magician churning out great movies from a hat of ideas than outsource my knowledge & passion for a MNC :0 <i>About the future</i>, I am not sure....its scary yet exciting. For now, writing reviews and indulging in customer care for MNCs(<I>multi nerd companies</I>) will do. Later, meditation, marriage and social work look like an exciting opportunity. <i>wish me luck</i>.... :). <b><i>Movies of all genres & languages</b></i>. <i>Reading books & writing articles</i> are my other interests.

Hi there, fantastic review.... frankly, I wuz a bit tired reading Orhan's lengthy details about the paintings & the like. But the plot is too good. It didn't endear itself to me maybe it's coz I prefer the usual fast-paced thrillers. but I must say Red is still an unforgettable novel. read more...

Vinod - I wonder if I should read his other best sellers like The White Castle or the Snow as he has a penchant for going too much into details that I find a bit tiring. But his stories, although intense, are very creative. He uses great imagination for sure.... regards Manu
