Introduction

I am a lawyer by vocation, and a filmy keeda by interest. At the outset, I would say that courtesy my vocation, you will see many sentences containing stupid legal jargon like “at the outset”, “notwithstanding” etc.

When I say I am a filmy keeda, I would like to make it clear, that I do not claim (nor dream) of being a connoisseur of classy cinema. Quite to the contrary, I have grown up on absolute potboilers of the 70s and 90s. Most of my "zindagi ka gyaan" comes from movies and serials.  

In line with the same, let me give the rather filmy (and NOT mythological) reference  of Abhimanyu, who learnt this from the womb, considering what a filmy keeda my mom is. She knows every Amitabh Bachchan movie to the last dialogue—to the extent one reason for her marrying my Baba, was that he shared the same initials as Amitabh Bachchan. 

In this blog, I will be putting down my crazy ideas and thoughts through the prism of cinema. As I said most of my life learning comes from cinema—Bollywood or otherwise. Will try to keep it simple and relatable for people who may not have seen the movie I am writing about. Also this is my first attempt at writing something in 35 years of my existence—so please don’t be too critical 😇😇
