The cast and crew of Ghajini gathered to celebrate their success.  Ghajini became the only Indian film to earn one billion rupees at the box office across the country in less than a week of its release on Christmas. (Incidentally I’m in Montreal and they’re showing it here too along with Rab Ne Bana Di [...]

So I finally found my winter wonderland in snow-capped Canada. This was just one of the houses on the highway up!
I am happy to report that my hunt for Christmas present was a success in (would you believe it?) San Francisco. Even though temperatures remained well over freezing it was jingle bells all the way [...]

And here’s the other thing. O.J. Simpson appears to have done it again! (And this time even the Japanese know about it!)

Sorry for the delay in updating you but I’ve spent the last 24 hours soaking up the New York City vibe. (Apart from the fact that its 2 degrees outside and the rain melted the snow before I got my trusted camera out for winter wonderland pictures; everything’s exactly as I had imagined it!) I’m [...]

So my hunt for the new *LPC is over. (As someone who has over 10,000 pictures on facebook I feel somewhat justified in having two cameras.) The rough and tumble they see takes off several years anyway I would imagine. Also this way I will have seriously awesome winter wonderland pictures for you from NYC [...]

Guess what I did last night? I watched Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi like a true blue desi girl at Wilsden Green Cinema (the numero uno destination for Bollywood on the big screen) in my sister’s neighbourhood. I admit it was OTT in parts but I loved it. Perhaps a combination of missing Mumbai and being [...]

So I’m off to Boston tomorrow then NY-SF and Montreal (where I still believe there will be heated underground tunnels and the cold won’t make me cry.) My last day on the town I spent feeling warm and fuzzy (and quite buzzed) as old friends and I pub crawled around Piccadily. Can you tell its [...]

So here’s the thing. I have long since come to terms with the fact that you can try to run but you simply cannot hide from bhangra and Bollywood any where in the world (ask me after a few cocktails and I’d probably wonder why you’d want to anyway.) So last summer I experienced a Basement Bhangra [...]

Day 3 of my epic vacation and we decided to hit the shops. Oh My God. I have never seen so many things I’ve wanted to buy all in one place before in my life. However the fact that trying anything on requires the removal of 5 layers of clothing is an effective detterent! (I’m also trying [...]

I had the best day! I managed to find my way by tube and then train to Birmingham and back (and for those who know me know this is no mean feat. I have absolutely no sense of direction.) So we did the show live in the BBC Asia Networks studio. Amazing space, loads of [...]
