He quit the cor­po­rate world to start his own restau­rant He is famous for his sar­casm and scep­ti­cism He is known to pre­fer the com­pany of mon­keys! I guess you know who I’m talk­ing about by now. A very very happy birth­day to the guy we all know as Mad­man and who intro­duced me and my […]

Looks like the end of the year has brought about cre­ative spurts in every­one. Lavan­nya has started a group called ‘Chill­ies and Chut­ney’ for food lovers in Ban­ga­lore (and beyond). Vaish and Vinay have started a blog called ‘France­say’ for those inter­ested in dis­cussing the French lan­guage and any­thing con­cern­ing France. And I’ve just got […]

The cur­rent sta­tus quo over the screen­ing of Hindi films is not only affect­ing the dis­trib­u­tors, it is also affect­ing reg­u­lar cine-goers who I am sure are miss­ing out on their daily dose of enter­tain­ment.

Mum­bai looked pretty, espe­cially dur­ing the night. All lighted up, decked in her […]

If there’s some­thing that I am really fas­ci­nated by, it’s the vast expanse of the sky. Some­times I’m dri­ving down the long road to office, so fas­ci­nated by the chang­ing colours and pretty pat­terns that I almost for­get that I should have my eyes on the road!

Isn’t he absolutely adorable? Of course, Kit Kit would have been mighty jeal­ous if she knew how much fun I had with these cute crea­tures in Goa! And there were seven of them. This one poses like a doll. I was really tempted to pack him up and bring him home :)

The exhi­bi­tion went off really well and all of us had a lit­tle cel­e­bra­tion on Sun­day night at the Cen­tury Club. My per­sonal thanks to some of you who dropped in. Some snap­shots of the exhi­bi­tion Quite a few pho­tographs sold and the response was really good. In fact, they are still up for sale. […]
