What have we done to deserve this

Almost a year ago, I wrote about the 'Great Indian Con Job'. Nothing much has changed since. Political parties still exploit the poor to their advantage. Well, I was at the receiving end of one such 'show of strength'. And not only me, millions of hapless Bangaloreans , we stranded on the roads for hours...all because JDS decided to hold a rally to coronate their new king. Here was the result... Oh Bangalore...what have you done to deserve this?

Sachit Murthy — Writing on Cinema, Cricket, Travel, and Life in India

This blog brings together essays, reviews, and observations on cinema, sport, travel, and everyday life in India. It moves between detailed writing on Indian and world cinema, reflections on cricket as culture and memory, travel notes from cities and small towns, and personal pieces shaped by living and working in contemporary India. Film writing on the blog ranges from close readings of classic and modern films to broader reflections on performance, narrative, and form. Cricket appears not as statistics or news, but as lived experience — a shared language of time, obsession, and belonging. Travel pieces pay attention to place, atmosphere, and the small details that define movement and return. Underlying these varied subjects is a consistent interest in observation: how people speak, perform, remember, and negotiate their inner and public lives. The author’s background as a stage and screen actor, writer, and voice artist informs the attention to rhythm, silence, and point of view across the writing. The blog is intended for readers who enjoy reflective, unhurried writing — pieces that sit somewhere between criticism, travelogue, and personal essay.
