Everyone has a story. Some jot them down in their most prized diaries to be never heard by anyone ever, others bring the best out of them by putting them out into the world.

People make movies, TV shows, books, songs and even video games in a modest attempt to make their voices heard with the hope that…

The Mahakal Dara Archives | Mahakala’s Dorjeling

How does one carve an image of God? Anglicizing local names and words was a popular pastime for our foreign masters. To the foreign tongue, Kalikata became Calcutta, Kalebung became Kalimpong, Dorjeling became Darjeeling, and Swami Vivekanand became, well, Swami Vive-ka-munand (awkward clap). Even post independence we have casually adopted most of this anglicized words as de facto names. George…

Anmol Gurung – God is a filmmaker

Red: How do you stay productive during lazy days?

Anmol: Why I think lazy days are not so lazy for me or for anyone else is because these days the amount of things information that we take in, movies, music, it’s just too much.

Understanding COVID-19 from a Socio-medical Aspect

We all can get over the COVID-19 pandemic with proper planning and execution. I strongly believe in it; because there is no individual who can’t, no society that can’t and no nation which can’t. My belief is not only based on the aforementioned shloka but also the socio-medical science which supports the fact (vide infra).

After mindlessly going through each and every blog post in the interwebs about writing, if there ever was one, you sit down to fabricate your first twenty words and wonder if twenty words are enough to be called a paragraph. And then you open your…

Almost every guitarist from North-east India has plucked those ambient riffs and pieces from “Syndicate” or “Dadhelo” and emulated those distinctive enunciations, to experience what is called “Bipul da feels” and I am no exception.
