I was a Motor Engineering Student at the Technical College those days. We were given a monthly allowance which didn’t last much long but something which we waited eagerly for.

Is it real Dude? I’m a big time movie fan. One thing baffles me all the time when I watch these Hollywood blockbusters especially genres like cop shows, detectives, crime and espionage.
