Firaaq is set after one month of the riots that happened in Gujarat and maps the stories of people belonging to different strata of the society who were affected by riots. Also, the cast of movie is top rate but then that is expected where the names include Paresh Rawal, Naseerudin Shah, Deepti Naval. The supporting cast also was pretty good. Sahana Goswami stood out in Rock On and here, she further gives proof that she should be seen in more movies. Loved Amruta Subhash too (yeah, I know her; I did tolerate her Marathi serial for quite a long time). Sanjay Suri as a part of the upper class who gets away most of the time because of his name and Hindu wife (Tisca Chopra) was pretty good too. The strong point in the movie was the subtlety. There was always a specter of violence looming ahead but one never actually gets to

Trickle Up Innovation. Interesting read. Thank the government for the inflation. Purple Pitara pens some thoughts which she hoped she would have heard when she was given a send off from her school.

Kindness of Strangers. Hillarious!
