I wrote about Joseph Kosinski’s #F1, a (good-looking) disgrace to the sport. (Review continued in the next post)

The second season of Tina Fey’s comedy drama is less about marriages and more about individual angst, writes @RajaSen livemint.com/mint-lounge/art…

Very sad news that David Hockney has died. A year ago, I asked him to write an article about smoking bans, and he provided one of the most charming answers I’ve ever received

My #Backrooms review is that I wish there were yet another back room where they were showing Obsession.

One of the best trailers (and movies) this century.

Absolutely LOVED Mollywood Times. Abhinav Sundar Nayak has crafted a hilariously heartbreaking film that questions cinema, karma, even M Night Shyamalan’s plot twists. Loved the bleakness, loved the unflinching gaze, loved the so-called hero — and the way he flips his hair.

Rekha looks unreal because she was created by Gemini.

I do agree that, at the very least, a film review should answer the questions here. Too much fence-sitting in criticism today.

As a pastiche of noir classics, the Nicolas Cage series ‘Spider-Noir’ commits to the genre, complete with grimy innuendo and a nasty sense of justice, writes @RajaSen livemint.com/mint-lounge/art…

On Clint's birthdate: James Dean and Elvis weren't born yet. Wonder Bread started selling sliced bread a year prior. Chocolate chip cookies didn't exist. Picasso was the same age as Charlize Theron right now. The first documented high five wouldn't occur for another 46 years.

Amazing kicker in the NYT’s list of the 100 Best Restaurants in NYC @ligayamishan

Vedant Srivastava - 17 yrs old Took to social media and exposed discrepancies in CBSE's OSM marking system. Nisarga Adhikary- 19 yrs old Hacked CBSE website and informed them (and us) that it is vulnerable and can be hacked. Sarthak Sidhant- 17 yrs old Exposed how CBSE bent rules to award the OSM tender to COEMPT. These 3 kids need to be lauded. They have given us a glimmer of hope. They have shown us, not all is lost. We still have a future to salvage.

17-year-old Sarthak Sidhant has exposed how CBSE manipulated its own selection process to benefit COEMPT, using CBSE’s own documents. The details in his blog reveal how CBSE changed the RFP to unduly benefit COEMPT, at the cost of TCS. He has revealed the hollowness of Dharmendra Pradhan ji’s denials. The PM remains silent, as usual. The question is simple: who are they protecting, and why? An independent judicial inquiry is now essential to uncover the full extent of this scam. Sarthak’s work shows that India’s Gen Z is brilliant and fearless. And sooner or later, they will find out the full truth.

‘Hacks’ is a sharp and insightful comedy that, in its fifth season, is also a leap of faith, writes @RajaSen livemint.com/mint-lounge/art…

l've never seen anything more accurate

met a girl named Gargi Garg and her only worthy opponent is Galileo Galilei

Wrote about a specific episode of Yes Minister, for Mint Lounge this weekend.

Even the once prescient ‘Yes Minister’ feels too naïve today. Can you imagine a minister being encouraged—or deterred—by what a newspaper headline might have to say about them? @RajaSen has more on this livemint.com/mint-lounge/art…

"Never files HR complaints" is an odd thing to say 🤔
