Who among us hasn’t given in to the temptation of looking up Tinder matches or a new boss online, before we meet them? It’s what this “harmless” looking up leads to – when Netflix’s You implies that our soulmates might just be our stalkers – that makes it a defining series of our times.

When Kidding, premiered last year, there was relatively little fanfare greeting Jim Carrey’s return to screen. But his character Mr Pickles is the closest we’ll get to grasping Carrey’s quicksilver mind and mammoth career.

Before Vicky Kaushal asked, “How’s the josh?” in Uri, a lesser- known 1992 film introduced Bollywood to surgical strikes. While Uri is based on true events that unfolded in PoK in 2016, Tahalka takes inspiration from its director Anil Sharma’s overactive imagination.

Two students from a medical college in Kolkata killed 16 puppies and paraded their carcasses for all to see, as some kind of a trophy. But what probably makes the incident even more disturbing, is that the people who are justifying the murder are as vocal as those condemning the act.

Mumbai’s ubiquitous red buses are struggling to keep up with the city’s pace. And we will only be poorer without them. Smart cities boast of smart public transport and the devolution of the BEST is a step backward.

It took three years to charge sheet Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khalid, who’d organised a rally condemning the death of Afzal Guru – but only six months to charge sheet Afzal Guru. Get ready India, for a new form of terrorism, where militants enter our country strapped with polarising opinions and unleash them in a crowded market.

Michelle Obama’s memoir Becoming is a lesson in empathy, endurance, and elegance. It’s an exposition of her doctrine, “When they go low, we go high.” While I’d pretty much recommend the book to anyone I know, the people who’ll most benefit from it are our politicians – Rahul Gandhi, Smriti Irani, and Arvind Kejriwal.

Sources say, Boney Kapoor, who investigated the sexual harassment charge against filmmaker Raju Hirani, with the help of the now-defunct CID, will write the screenplay. Chetan Bhagat to write a novel based on movie when he gets an afternoon off.
