And he made it happen!
‘What is it about cinema that makes you Indians go mad?’ my British friend once asked me. ‘What makes it such a religion?’ I honestly didn’t have an answer, but I felt it too. I still feel it when I…
New York I Love You; The Film, Not So Much
NYC to me is a city glorified by films and music. Many directors have romanced this city on celluloid. Quite a few legendary TV series have had the city as a character by itself and not a mere location. New York. It has cinematic magic…

During the summer that me and my sister spent holidaying in UK, we waited and waited for a cheaper ticket to show up for the musical, Mamma Mia. We ended up not seeing the show and when I saw the…

Reality bites. But these days it sells. If your career is stuck, it’s time to choose a buzz worthy TV show and problem solved. Don’t have a career? Still waiting for that big break? Television can help there too. Appear…
