Review: Tamasha (2015)

Tamasha (Dir.: Imtiaz Ali; Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Piyush Mishra et al.)

  • The Wait (poem)
    Don’t take the pain away, I pray Lest I forget how bad it had hurt, Just give me a song if you can So it doesn’t sting so hard.   Don’t take those memories away Lest I forget to mind the gap, Just give me a fairytale where the hero Can leap coolly across the... […]
