BiGHA BiGHA’s ad campaign, its web site and the comments made by its owner have made it abundantly clear that its philosophy is obviously much different than that of its peers. BiGHA calls it an “adventure bike.” In English, that means that it’s a recreational, commuting, day trip, throw it in the back of the car and go to the park sort of bike. BiGHA’s biggest project right now is trying to find a way to improve battery life, but as it stands right now, I was only able to get about a week out of a set of expensive lithium batteries. www.bentrideronline.com /reviews/BiGHA/bigha.htm   (4235 words)

Do Bigha Zameen Bimal Roy with his innate reserve and good taste chooses a much wider context in which to place his narrative thus looking at rural poverty at one end and the brutalizing effects of city life at the other end. Do Bigha Zameen is a sad and moving tale which Roy projects with much sympathy, understatement and simplicity and gives us a film that is very human and has great emotional depth. The film is strongly influenced by the Italian neo-realist Cinema and particularly evokes De Sica's masterpiece Bicycle Thief (1949) particularly in the scenes of the father and son in the city. www.upperstall.com /films/dobighazameen.html   (631 words)
