Its been quite a while since a movie really gripped me from the very start and then took me along with it and had more than half the theatre crying by the end of it! “Changeling” did precisely that and so much more! Its about a mother’s search for her missing son and how things twist and turn in the most interesting ways! [...]

About a year back, my good friend Mark, called me and asked if another friend Ram Ganesh, author and playwright and creator of some brilliant original plays like ‘Snakes and Ladders’ (which I admittedly watched 3 times because I so loved it!) can take one of Phenom‘s songs, ‘Resurgence‘ for a short film that he [...]

My Mom is where I get most of what I do today from! She is undoubtedly the biggest rockstar of them all. I just can’t believe how she can handle all that she does and where she gets the energy from to do it all every day!

A bunch of us turned up at Rangashankara earlier today and rather promptly I should say (Rangashankara inspires that in you!) to catch the Evam production ‘The Importance of being “Earnest”‘.
