		<title>Shutter Island Inception</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last two movies of Leonardo DiCaprio center around two classic philosophical views of reality. Martin Scorsese&#8217;s Shutter Island (based on Dennis Lehane&#8217;s eponymous novel) uses Kantian a posteriori, that what we know about the world is subject to our perceptions and thus not entirely objective. Christopher Nolan&#8217;s Inception builds on Cartesian dream argument, about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where are you now, Scout?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the few works that I read more than twice, watched more than twice, read the book first and then watched the movie and still didn&#8217;t get disappointed. Harper Lee&#8217;s novel is also my default gift, the way some gift the Bible when they can&#8217;t think of anything else. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winding up the Millennium Trilogy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last book of Stieg Larsson&#8217;s Millennium trilogy is not unpredictable. From the outset it is clear that the book will be about the final trial, which we know that Salander and her &#8220;Knights of the Idiotic Table&#8221; will win, despite the several new difficulties and dangers that the supporting cast face and survive from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cultures in Conversation &#8211; Urban Legends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The May 2010 issue of UTV World Movies Magazine carried an article I wrote comparing Bollywood and Mexican Cinema with urbanization as its underlying motif. I am not very happy with it. I think essays of such kind need a person with greater expertise about the subject matter and with greater skill. My article reads [...]]]></description>
