“Is that Radhika Apte with you!?”

One of my most favourite films to talk about was from the genre of fiction. I was the lead actor. I was playing a newly married person and it explored how two people, largely strangers, come together through the institution of marriage. The conversations between them, how understanding between them grows with time and the… Continue reading “Is that Radhika Apte with you!?”

Starring ‘opposite’ Mammootty

I remember an incident in college when a historic movie was being shot on campus on the life of Babasaheb Ambedkar.

Shiva’s Lab

I decided to make my own film too, at some point- an experimental short musical film. I conceptualised, imagined and directed the whole movie.

I said, we all are thy sons and daughters And though different, we are still similar. We share together tears n laughter And to you –… Continue reading Introducing..

My very first and also the longest visit out of India was to the USA. I was invited to present research papers and to receive award for a few academic conferences. Having had just finished my PhD, I traveled a lot in and around US for several months.. More states started to get added in… Continue reading US of A. Have I been to your state?

The tiny portion of the world that I have seen

For work or for pleasure, as they call it, I travelled to many countries. Almost always staying there as a local with the locals. Some stays were for months, some for a few weeks and a very few were for days. Check out the map. Can you name all the 14 countries I have visited!?… Continue reading The tiny portion of the world that I have seen
