Caculo Mall

Recently I had the good fortune of visiting the Caculo Mall with my family. It’s been two months since my last visit and I was taken up with the new look that the mall has been given thanks to Christmas. The tall Christmas tree in the lobby makes for a beautiful photo besides drawing your immediate attention. The shops are all decorated and given a festive look. Some shops have gone a step further by painting Christmas symbols on their doors. Something worth looking out for are the cribs that adorn the first and second floors.

The gamezone has been given a complete makeover. Games have been shifted and a few new ones have been introduced. It remains a fun place to hang out and enjoy yourself especially if you have younger companions like I did (my brothers and sisters). For me the only worthwhile thing at the mall is the gamezone for the other branded clothes and apparel shops are beyond a humble man’s budget. Even the food court requires a large wallet to patronize it.


Caculo Mall remains for me a place to enjoy window shopping besides games which is the chief attraction.

God of Surprises (Book Review)

God of Surprises , Gerard. W. Hughes, Mumbai: St Paul Publications, 1990, ISBN 81-7109-091-5, Rs. 35, pp. 162.   This is a guidebook for the journey of life which began at conception and will end at death. It is written especially for bewildered, confused or disillusioned Christians, who have a love-hate relationship with the Church. God is a ‘God of Surprises’ because He is not remote or distant, dwelling only in tabernacles and temples of stone, but near to us. Smiling and waiting to embrace us despite our confusion, bewilderment, anger etc. This book aims to suggest some ways of detecting the hidden treasure in what may be considered a most unlikely field, oneself. The treasure is within us. The First Chapter illustrates this premise. The treasure lies hidden in our inner moods and feelings. Many people live without getting in touch with their inner selves. Our inner selves can tell us the direction our lives should take and supply the inspiration and energy to take i...

Don Bosco Deeply Human Deeply Holy (Book Review)

Don Bosco Deeply Human Deeply Holy , Peter Brocardo, translated by Abraham Kadaplackel, Don Bosco Publications, Madras, Pp. 172. I have read quite some books on Don Bosco but this one appealed to me in a unique way. The book deals with the personality of Don Bosco viewed under specific headings. Reading this book has helped me arrive at a better understanding of Don Bosco, the man and the saint. The author introduces Don Bosco as a saint. Firstly, he was a saint of his times and represented what is known as “the Turin School of Sanctity”. Secondly, he is viewed as a saint for all times. Thirdly, Don Bosco was an active saint, meaning that, it is through work that Don Bosco found his way to God. In him we see a splendid blending of work and prayer, which Fr Egidio Vigano refers to as “grace of unity”. The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the ‘characteristics’ of Don Bosco while the second part deals with his ‘essential traits’. Each part consists o...

Chehre (2021) [Movie Review]

Image
Dir: Rumy Jafry Starring: Amitabh Bachan, Emraan Hashmi, Krystle D’souza, Dhritiman Chatterjee, Annu Kapoor, Rhea Chakraborty. Dur : 2 hrs 19 mins Genre: Drama Rating : 8/10                 The trailer had me hooked. I couldn’t believe that Bollywood was finally experimenting with original storylines! But when I sat down to review the film I realized that it was a copied idea. As if that wasn’t enough, it wasn’t even a new copy at that! This film is actually based off a German Novel by Friedrich Durrenmatt titled A Dangerous Game . A Marathi version had come out way back in 1971; more recently a Kannada and Bengali adaptation were released. Nevertheless, Bollywood felt that it had to jump on the bandwagon and recycle this story.                 The film itself is quite brilliant. The idea is novel. It doesn’t have traditional B...
