In My Rockstar Avatar!

Here's me in my rockstar avatar singing a Christmas song I wrote at Kairali Belapur's Christmas celebrations. The singing - surprisingly - was well received and I received many comments of it being "adipoli" meaning "cool." Here's for more!

My small ponytail is growing. However, it's an ongoing battle to make near and dear ones who advise (in a good sense, rather discreetly) to get a haircut.

As Editor of Ambit, Circa 1985

This is me as editor of Ambit, the monthly journal of the Bombay Management Association. I worked hard to produce, edit, sell space for the magazine, sometimes working Sundays and staying late. I am reading a copy of the magazine I edited. Look at the real estate I occupied in those days. Around 200 sq. ft. in prime Fort, Bombay, location. But those days editors were respected and admired. I don't know how it is now.

Cafe Leopold, Colaba Causeway

A picture I shot of Cafe Leopold which was attacked by terrorists on 26 November 2009. Leopold is situated on Colaba Causeway, a glam shopping and entertainment area (Times Square, well, sort of) and you can shop for shawls, antiques, clothes (both designer and local "darzi-made") and enjoy the night life in one of the most happening areas of Bombay, where the Taj Mahal Hotel and the Gateway of India is situated.
