By Naveen Uru-Swati is one of those countless desi restaurants at the heart of Devon Avenue’s India section in Chicago. We had walked past the place several times but never cared to check it out until SI showed interest in a review. Hey, we’re not schmucks to say ‘no’ to an offer of free food! [...]
By Naveen After tackling a surprisingly easy Friday evening Chicago traffic, we settled down into the comfortable seats of Big Cinemas (Niles, IL) with the hope of watching at least a mildly entertaining Tamil movie in the rather oddly named “180” – No Rules. When the show began, the censor board certificate revealed the official [...]
We’ve listened to Ain’t No Mountain High Enough a million times. No, we’re still not tired of it. Au contraire, we can’t get enough of this extraordinary song.

SI ogled long and hard. SI fondled several Tablets, front, back and side. SI pored over countless reviews till the eyes glazed over. Finally, SI took the plunge. The iPad 2 plunge. Folks, there’s only one tablet worth buying. And that’s the Apple iPad 2. The rest are like the humble Nirodh before the ribbed, [...]
As longstanding Kamal Haasan fans, we’re extremely disappointed with recent developments concerning his mega-budget upcoming film Viswaroopam. It seems the versatile South Indian actor will only be responsible for the following activities in the action film Viswaroopam – acting (the hero), direction, story, screenplay, lyrics and dialogs. The depressing and terrible news for all of [...]
Bala’s latest crappy movie Avan Ivan has not fared well at the box office. The UK box office that is. Avan Ivan Box Office Avan Ivan released in 14 theaters and had an opening gross of £29,159 and an average gross of £2,083. That’s by no means impressive given the (unwarranted) hype that accompanies Bala’s [...]
By Boopalan Lately, we’ve grown tired of our familiar dining haunts in Chennai, the Saravana Bhavans, the Sangeethas, the Vasantha Bhavans, the Anjappars. We thirsted and hungered for a change. And so, when the suggestion came from SI to review Chennai’s famed Murugan Idli Shop, a 100% vegetarian South Indian restaurant, we smacked our lips [...]
