Hike Messenger - India's Answer to Whatsapp

Recently, I heard about a new messenger in the market called Hike. Similar to Whatsapp in terms of messaging functionality, it is slated to be India's answer to the world of instant messaging platforms. And above all, it is being built, developed and backed by one of the telecom powerhouse in India, Bharti Airtel, with the son of the chairman, Kavin Bharti Mittal being the brainchild behind this brand new messenger.

Google "Hike" to know more about the history of the messenger, the developer behind it, the features it has, the platforms on which it is available and also to know more about the unique feature of sending sms through the same messenger as well.

Talaash - The Answer Lies Within

Everyone waits for a Aamir Khan movie and I am one of them. An Ardent fan of Aamir purely because of his choice of movies and his amazing acting prowess. Therefore, I went to see his new release Talaash yesterday at a so called theatre near me.

First and foremost, Talaash is a good movie with a different story line and a new concept. So this Film would be enjoyed only for people loving slow movies that reveal the suspense at the end. It is not that bad a movie as being claimed by people, and I include some of my friends in people as well.

The Movie begins with an accident of a famous bollywood star. The case is now being investigated by Aamir Khan and the movie is about his journey through the investigation and also involving a personal loss in the form of the death of his 8 year old son. What follows is definitely interesting for thrill seekers and some of them still new to the story would enjoy the suspense that unfolds at the end.

However, a word of caution. This is actually not an Aamir Khan standard movie. By standard I mean the calibre or the subjects or themes he chooses for his movies. This is vastly different from what is perceived as "Aamir Khan Standard" and that is the reason of disappointment for many, including me. Personally, I would not recommend watching Talaash for the sake of it as this could have been made keeping any actor as the protagonist and not Aamir. That's the most disappointing part. His acting skills have not been fully utilized and I feel that the movie does not do justice to the likes of actor like Aamir.

Nonetheless, watch this movie for a different and a refreshing story. But if you come out of the theatre disappointed, then please don't blame me as I have warned you much in advance ;)
