A lot of things have changed around us over the last decade or so. I can’t imagine where people went for coffee 15 yrs back because there was no Cafe Coffee Day or Barista. Shopping experience is no more on a road overflowing with people bargaining their lungs out, but in a Mall, over flowing with people (some things never change).

Raavan Movie Review – Completely Devoid of Soul
It hurts me a great deal to say this but Mani sir has got it all wrong this time.
