N' gauge










Cuttlefish are marine animals having green blood, three hearts, and able to change color in a flash with highest intelligence of any invertebrate, as well as the ability to see backwards.

You'll need a name that is easy to say, remember and has a gut-level response.

This aptly describes the group of Cuttlefish Photography of Ketaki, Saurabh & Preyas.

The suggestions have just been so significant and we value all your help in helping us decide what to order. We couldn't have been more contented with the results and contented with the value we received. Cuttlefish were the most flexible, within your means, and most gifted shutterbugs.

Ketaki ..The bubbly girl of the group: You have such a magnificent eye and an implausible way of capturing the quintessence of the day and the character of the couple.

Preyas ..The iceman of the group: You captured the excitement and fervor of guests as they entered into the spirit of the function by recording their unprompted smiles, laughter and sheer enjoyment.

Saurabh.. the marketing wizard of the group : We had a one to one session  and were assured that the images will only fulfill what we have  in mind, they surpass it. He sees what most people can’t and brings magic to even the most mundane topics.

There are a lot of little things that you do that sometimes go unnoticed. We have received some astonishing  comments from friends and family  as we are posing for magazine cover shoot.

The pictures will be a lifelong aide memoire of how unique the day was and how fantastic it was to work with you. We are so grateful for all of the superfluous things you did for us to make the day comprehensive and complete.

Look no further than Cuttlefish Photography for wide-ranging, sympathetic and entirety of the requirements of any events photographs. It was elated feeling as to how swiftly we received our prints.

Vidya and Nitesh wanted to say heartfelt thanks and would highly advocate your services

Rai's Rapid Review: MADRAS CAFE

 In India it’s very thorny to create a completely candid and upfront political thriller. Indian cinema is always about spoon feeding wherein you don’t have to tax your brain. Madras Café differs and has cerebral approach.
Edge of the seat thriller which depicts the Sri Lankan Civil War, a conflict fought on the island of Sri Lanka.A fact plus fictional plot about the... assassination of Former PM of India and role of rebel forces in the same. The movie sucks you into the vortex of deceit, army, intelligence and political protocols. At some places, film becomes documentary, but there is no deviation from story line and no inclusion of songs.
The icing on the cake is the apt visualizations and sound effects which just hand in hand in deriving us a superior product.
John Abraham is the Ravinder Jadeja of Bollywood. He comes with mind wobbling duds like Race -2 and Shootout at Wadala but scores high as suave miltary officer and raw agent .Nargis Fakri, Rashi Khanna and supporting actors are well casted and do their bit.
It also strides ahead in terms of serious drama without the melodrama that Indian audiences are used to. Shoojit Sircar and John Abraham comes with yet another winner after Vicky Donor... Highly recommended...Must watch for the love of cinema.

(Pun intended) North Indians haven’t had more dose of Tamil ever in the month of August, with Madras Cafe and Chennai express being around 20% in Tamil!!

Acid attacks in India


While there are no official statistics of such attacks in India, it is estimated that there are 1,000 acid attacks a year in the country. Despite the gravity of the situation, the Centre doesn’t seem to be very bothered about tackling this ghastly crime.
Severe punishments like these have been discourage by international bodies, women council and researchers. 
Punishments will only be handed over after the courts have held the accused guilty. Normally the court takes 5-7 years to deliver justice. With sever punishments it can go upto 12-15 years (as the accused can appeal to higher courts) 
Also the judge himself puts the case on the back burner whenever severe punishment is requested by the prosecution and they are somewhat hesitant to hand such punishments. Of course we cannot (and should not) question the judges (after all the courts are Honorable). Also with the fast track courts we can see significant delays (not because of anything but genuine administrative and legal processes within the constitution)
I agree when there should be fear but unfortunately

Fear ≠Democracy
Fear = Communism / Monarch

Rai’s Rapid Review-RACE-2

Race 2 is over the top wannabe-thriller that is devoid of any story. There is no chill, and thrills and the twist are predictable.
Movies like Race 2 give you a feel that in India, the need of the hour is boutiques, beauty parlor and gyms.
John sleepwalks through the film and has fantastic bloody fight sequence in a cage. Saif with his Kareena tattoo should join the flying squad as he flies and jumps all over the place . My heart pours for Anil Kapoor.What a crass role with double meaning jokes which may bring a laugh to the first benchers in single screen hall. If the three heroes in the movie participate in Dance India Dance, the prize for worst dancer will be tough call.
Jacqueline frankly looks like she’s participating for Olympics like archery and Olympic fencing. Deepika does what she does in all the movies...Bindass babe albeit acting.Ameesha is dim-witted and is no help to the Low Octane thriller.

The only thing that turned me on in the movie is the number of the Audi’s shown in every alternate scene and the excellent wide angle cinematography by Ravi Yadav.

This is one of the shoddiest sequels. It might also reach 100-cr mark in fooling the people by making a sequel to a successful movie and offering garbage in the name of former. Humble request… race to the nearest DVD outlet and not the theater to watch the movie and spend your republic day watching patriotic movies on TV channels.
