I am highly addicted to the Internet and word 'diversity'. I have recently started 2 blogs with my same ' yayaver ' profile. 1-For the sake of study --- http://fusedvision.blogspot.com/ It is just prepared for academics and professional purpose by me. 2- For the love of cinema --- http://hybridchoice.blogspot.com/ It is just created for maintaining the database of the films watched by me. We didn't imagine that somebody takes breathe and live in his own way 10,000 miles away from your home until now. -   Ankur Joshi . It was line spoken by Ankur to whom I met in Germany. That becomes an inspiration to understand universalism in world. I will now trace the history of my reading habit.

Rissent put it, “ It’s not about just loving a film, and one must love it for the right reasons. ” Why do I lament again and again as a stubborn child about the lack of better films in the mainstream cinema? I find exact words for my pain in the writings of Nitish : ' In every other profession, work or hobby people have the right to be intelligent, but in cinema it's considered a sin- Intellect is bad for health and bad for cinema. ' If cinema is for entertainment only, then literature should be used as a medium of entertainment only. Premchand should be rated below Chetan Bhagat, and gossip columns should be inserted into our academics to enhance the escapism only. The purpose of a film should not be to alienate people in escapism. Cinema is there to reflect our lives, dreams, ambitions, and hidden desires on celluloid. Better films are needed to fill the void of good commercial cinema. Further, quoting my friend Nitish: It's our duty to inform that Andre Bazin existed...
