The Mine - By Arnab Ray - A Review

Sex, gore and videotape is the perfect analogy for this Arnab Ray close-to-a-thriller. Hat's off to him for his effort in this less travelled India genere. Arnab strung all the strings to pull off a thriller and rightly speaking he succeed to pull it off, but couple of strings snapped off in the effort. It reminded me of LOST

It could have been a complete thriller if all the strings were held together and answered by the end, like: Who is lilthe adams? Was the blast faked or real? What the heck was that shrine? Why and How were these five choosen? and How in the world did those video tapes appear? Why in this whole wide world the mine dug for? And why would they spend a fortune just to kill the cruel?

However due credit has to be given to Arnab for such a terrific effort and putting the message dead center at you, that those who sow shall reap.

Sachin's 100

Like Anna's strive and the Telengana's drive
Sachin's 100 seems like a distant drive


Blowers who tumbled now started to mumble
Chuckling his fate and winning the bait

Edges are on and drives are gone
Leg before is in and stumps uprooted within


The press started to preach and everyone decided
to teach. Some say it's his mind and the bowlers say he is
too kind. Bring back the aggression, oh no it's his tension.
The burden is on, but you need to go on.


Ian says he is in a shell and Ravi reckons he isn't playing well,
Kapil shouts to hang his boots and dada suggests that he will gust

For all we pray for the master's ton and never let
a la Brandman like 99

My first words

Not the first words that I ever spoke, that delighted my mom, but my first on this blog. To keep it simple I'm a copy writer with the tendency and curiosity to write my mind out, but often have to delete the empty word docs after a while of musing. So how this happened, well I happened to click on the blogger's home and flew with its flow on creating a new blog and ended up writing this first blog, which will absolutely be of no interest to anyone who reads this.

But wait for some really good, fun filled, inspiring stuff from me.

Till then, keep reading other good stuff and check back to see am I worth reading.

Thanks and keep reading
Sajith
