I am studying Information Technology and Management in The University of Texas at Dallas since August 2018. After spending 18 months in Dallas, I returned to Mumbai this December for a short winter break. I wanted to do my best to give my parents and my grandmother a glimpse of my life in at the […]
It is probably one of the most commonly-used words of the English language. But when this girl at Starbucks @ Custer&Renner says “Hello“, she instantly stands out! What is it that she does differently that makes you feel welcome, safe, at ease right away? It’s not so much her sweet voice as it is the […]
It takes me 45 seconds to walk from my apartment to the nearest Starbucks outlet. This morning during the walk, I noticed – the clear blue sky the pleasant weather green trees flanking the walkway two butterflies flying right past me birds chirping in harmony a beautiful woman walking across the street (she may have […]
The earliest memory (and perception) I have of Easter is the song “My name is Anthony Gonsalves” from the 1975 movie Amar Akbar Anthony.

I must admit that I watched this film because it starred Saqib and Prabal. I know Saqib through Anuj who is the director of my play Holi. Prabal is someone I have done theatre with and we also happen to have many common friends. I did have quite a few expectations from both of them […]
Ace photographer Gautam Rajadhyaksha passed away this morning. I was deeply saddened by this news as he was the biggest film personality whom I knew or rather who knew me! I had met him 4 times at his place around 3 years ago. I wanted him to shoot my portfolio and he had agreed to […]
My flatmate Kartik has made it big! He is one of the lead actors in a movie named Pyaar ka Punchnama which is all ready to hit theatres on May 20, 2011. The guy is good-looking, smart and from the look of the promos, has done pretty well! The movie in itself looks like an […]
