Growing up, one of the biggest resentments I had against my parents was the fact that they took me around the world at a very young age. By the time I turned 7, I had been on two round-the-world trips. Now, before you mark me down as a snob for complaining about excessive travel, hear me out…
One of the most horrifying scenarios for any traveller, new or seasoned, is getting their bags stolen while in a foreign country. The fact of life remains that you can be in the most developed of countries or one that is in a state of turmoil, and your […]
In continuation to my previous post – Making It A Better Place – My Visit To An Animal Sanctuary – I felt it would only be apt to ask my school friend Rasika to talk about the issue of animal cruelty and what we can do about it, […]
Lately, I’ve come to the conclusion that everything exciting happens on or next to roads in India. India’s biggest tourist attraction, other than the Taj Mahal, can be found on the roads… curious to know what I’m talking about? Click the link. We begin with the road-side Dhabas (eateries). […]
Considering the amount of travel that I do with my family, I realised off late that I haven’t been writing about them as much as I would like to. My kids have been an integral part of many-a-journeys, and it is only fair that after having carried them […]

Today, I’ve decided to take a slightly different route – the road less travelled, if you may. Mayday is a fictional story, but I love how it is set in a picturesque quiet town in the countryside. It’s the kind of place everyone dreams about travelling to. We love the quaintness […]
Considered as one of the most influential documentaries, Hoop Dreams is also regarded as one of the best. Seeped in reality, the film follows William Gates and Arthur Agee, two basketball NBA dreamers/hopefuls, from their Freshman Year in School till admissions into College, a period of about 4 […]
Sitting cross-legged amidst an array of delicious confectioneries, he was starting to get impatient. “Aap rehne he do, nahi bechni aur kachori aapko” (leave it now, I don’t want to sell any more kachoris to you) he said with slight irritation. There was no anger in his words. […]
Memories! Memories that live on. Fly a Legacy is a personal celebration of memories, memories that have left a legacy behind… I’ve known Ronnie B. Goodwin for a few years now, through Facebook. My first interaction with him happened when I reviewed his exceptionally wonderful short film Shooter, […]
He’s been called a “cultural institution” by Tom Hanks. To some, he is a lucky charm. With countless guests and blink-and-you’ll-miss appearances in films, Radioman is a person that defines the city of New York. I have often called myself a film enthusiast or even a film fanatic, […]
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) is that it is poetry in motion. Sounds cheesy I know, but it’s true. The second being that in terms of friendship and the overall feel of the film, it slightly resembles […]
A family vacation, a cruise – halfway around the world, one of the severest winters seen by Europe, the warm Caribbean weather living up to its name; Captivating Caribbean is a small series where I shall cover some of the stops we made during this 14-day cruise. Hopefully, these […]
