Moving towards the finale of Mad Men Season 3, I do sense that we are seeing the breakdown of the character of Don Draper.

Valentines Special – The Walking Dead
I watched the repeat telecast of ‘The Walking Dead‘ today on Star World. My first tryst with this series was when I read about Frank Darabont making this unique series based on a monthly comic book.

For the uninformed, Lola plays a faux Malayali lady with the attitude that stereotypically defines the Kerala region. In real [...]
