I am an independent film critic, sports writer, and content developer based out of Delhi. I am the author of the movie blog ‘A Potpourri of Vestiges’. I have been writing movie reviews at IMDb.COM for over four years. I am also associated with F1India.ORG as a content editor.

Cinema is not only my passion, but also my greatest obsession. My all-time favorite movie-makers are Akira Kurosawa, Stanley Kubrick, Luis Bunuel, Andrei Tarkovsky, Charles Chaplin, Orson Welles, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, Satyajit Ray, Fritz Lang, Sergio Leonne, Francis Ford Cuppola, and Martin Scorsese.

My movie blog ‘A Potpourri of Vestiges’ is dedicated to cinema, in particular its Art form. The blog aims to acquaint the viewers worldwide with the true purpose and potential of cinema, especially as a great source of learning and enlightenment, by trying to keep alive the cinematic gems that are rapidly fading into obscurity owing to commercialization.
