		<title>The Storm is bigger and nastier than you think</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So a game journalist source of Bill Harris over at Dubious Quality had some things to say about publishers and their renewed interest in screwing journo&#8217;s jollies: http://dubiousquality.blogspot.com/2011/04/storm.html There&#8217;s a sequel to this post, in which they bring up Eurogamer, Rock Paper Shotgun and others as hallmarks of Game Journalism (they truly are, never think [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dhobi Ghat &#8211; of Art enabled in a study of class distinction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dhobi Ghat, or as we say it here in Chilli Crab country, Dhoby Ghaut, is many things at once, but most strongly for me it (is a love letter to Mumbai that) talks about the relationship between the upper, privileged class and the lower to lower middle class that enables them, creates the essence of Mumbai. It also is about art and our relationship with it and this straddles the first theme almost completely. It is also about loss, betrayal, loneliness, regret, and hope - likely in that order – but those are byproducts of a film that chooses to lavish a lot of detail and nuance on to each character.]]></description>

		<title>Call of Duty Black Ops : Shooty mcbangy bang</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I played the new Call of Duty. More specifically Call of Duty: Black Ops. Even more specifically in internetese: COD BLOPS. I love that name, don&#8217;t you? BLOPS. Completely devoid of the utter destruction inherent in the game it describes. Come to think of it, I may have eaten some BLOPS sometimes in me [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Conversation I had with Beatzo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[See, it&#8217;s like this. Indians are everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Every country. The usual suspects like the US, UK, Canada, but also countries like Romania, Ghana, even St. Kitts. Bet you couldn&#8217;t place that on a World map. In some, even most of these places, there is growing resentment around them as well. Sometimes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sherlock Holmes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where I review the new Sherlock Holmes film. I can find faults with the film all day, but I can equally find good things to say about Downey Jr.&#8217;s and Law&#8217;s amazing work. Sherlock Holmes is not a flawless film, but it is immensely enjoyable, and definite good times at the cinemas. It doesn&#8217;t require [...]]]></description>

		<title>Top 5 &#8220;that guy&#8221;s in Bollywood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do utterly love Bolly and all other woods that come from India especially the rambunctiousness about that cinema ( like there is an impishness about Korean cinema, or a quiet dignity about Iranian) that is definitive of my Indian-ness. Coming to the point of the post however, there is something about the underdog that [...]]]></description>
