The Real Shopping-Cart Revolution
Five hundred years of progress packed into a sack of flour.By J. Bradford DeLong, Wired MagHere's some food for thought.A smart shopper can buy a 5-pound bag of Gold Medal flour for 69 cents. That's enough to feed three people for a day - 7,500 easy-to-digest, relatively nutritious, and potentially tasty calories. All for less than 0.7 percent of a...  more...

Composition
Composition. Any time you want to make a picture, you have to consider a couple of things. What you want to be in the picture. And more importantly what you want to leave out of the picture.

Why women marry
It’s always a wonder to me as to why women marry. Don’t get me wrong, but mostly I find that women marry the wrong sort of guy for the right reasons (eg, Karisma Kapoor), or marry the right sort of guy for all the wrong reasons (eg, Karisma Kapoor again). The more beautiful/successful they are, the more vulnerable they seem to be on this front. It’...  more...

Juno is refreshingly sweet ;)
Juno walks the thin line between being light or ridiculous, between being frank or vulgar and comes out on tops. Despite knowing that this is a run of the mill movie about teenage pregnancy, you not only enjoy it but also find the characters endearing. I expect Juno to be a major hit as and when it hits the multiplexes in India. In a nutshell this ...  more...
