My Web Writing Portfolio

This is a list of my writings elsewhere on the web. Some of it is from my time as a journalist. Other works owe their origin to my far reaching online journeys and fun flings with various websites.

NEWS

Bloggers beware: You're liable! -- An article written for Rediff.com about the legal liabilities of bloggers in India.

How the Internet Dealt with Katrina -- A news article on the online relief measures taken all over the world to aid the victims of the hurricane Katrina that hit New Orleans in 2005.

REVIEWS


Osamu Tezuka's Buddha: Impressions -- Review of the epic 8-part graphic novel series Buddha created by Osamu Tezuka. Buddha is a shining example of how the story can say the message and still hold its own ground.


Movie Review: Iron Man -- Review of the 2008 Iron Man live action movie. Its simple and does what it is meant to. All hopes on the Avengers movie now.


Movie Review: The Spiderwick Chronicles -- Review of the fantasy cinematisation of the children's book of the same name. The movie was tight with all manner of wonders. Worked very well.

Don't Miss Transformers! -- Review of the blockbuster movie 'Transformers'. One comment to this article says, "This person, who wrote the review is an idiot. He just likes movies Hollywood style. Who gave him this job, he should be kicked out..." It's not that bad really!

This Darwaza falls apart -- Review of Ram Gopal Varma's sad-and-sorry attempt at comedy 'Darwaza Band Rakho. Hated it. Said so.

Percy Jackson is Back! -- Review of the second book in the Percy Jackson trilogy of fantasy novels for young adults written by Rick Riordan. This was published in the Rediff official book blog.

On Narnia - The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe -- Not really a review. More like a first impression on the first Narnia movie published on Desicritics.org when I was still a member there.

TUTORIAL

How to Market General Blogs -- A blog tutorial kind of article I wrote for bloggst.com some time back. It offers tips to promote and brand blogs that do not cover a specific topic or issue.
