September at the Hard Rock Cafe, Mumbai is looking smoking hot. I’m most especially excited about Sean Kingston making an appearance and hoping I can get him to do a live rendition of “Bollywood Girls” (DJ Suketu’s mix that I love) for my blog :) Here’s the rest of the line up this month so [...]

Check it out! MissMalini and Tarana Raja Kapoor revisited our dancing days about a decade on! So fun :) I highly recommend you try a class. Big love to: Manik Bhatheja for a killer routine and oodles of patience, Ashwin Mushran for engineering our late start so he could be there and everyone who cheered [...]

I’m giving Chef Manu Chandra’s new menu at A.D. Singh’s Olive Bar & Kitchen, Bandra a double thumbs up! I have to say though that Mitali Kakar and I (who were both unfashionably on time) were tres surprised at the modest turn out and speculated whether it could have been the rain, people ending up [...]

Remember I told you I started taking a Lyrical Hip-Hop dance class with Manik Bhatheja (who’s an awesome teacher btw) at Kaytee Namgyal’s K-School of Performing Arts? Well they’re starting a new batch of dance classes this week and I urge you to try it cos its SO fun! (Tarana is gonna kill me for [...]

This is a super week for gigs; I’ve no idea when I’m going to get any rest! Bangalore folk-rock band Swarathma play Hard Rock Cafe. They’re collaborating with Old Man River, a one-man act visiting from Australia and putting a new spin on popular tracks like Ee Bhoomi and Bolo Hai Kya. With colourful costumes, [...]

You gotta love the whole Indie music vibe that’s picking up big time in Mumbai. (Especially when some of the city’s most fashionable glitterati deck up for the do!) Ashutosh Phatak launched his new dance album, Petri Dish along with Arjun Vagale + Ash Roy (Jalebee Cartel) at Blue Frog on Friday. Apart from the [...]

I’ve seriously never met anyone THIS tall in my life. (Like how I’m standing on my tippy-toes as if THAT’s gonna help?) Meet Pau Gasol. He’s the Spanish 7′ center and power forward for the current NBA champs, the LA Lakers and is in India as part of the NBA’s mission to grow its brand [...]

So that’s the question I set out to answer on Saturday night when Sita Wadhwani from CNNGo.com asked me to write a feature on it (I like them, they put me on their Mumbai 20 hotlist remember :) Did I succeed? I guess you could say so. Although it’s clear that your best bet is [...]

You gotta love Ash Chandler; Funny guy, infectious personality and all heart. (So fine, I’m a little partial but I love my peeps what can I say!) Which is why it was entirely my pleasure to introduce his band at Jazz on Friday night (time-line: B.B. – before Bachchan lol.) Crazy thing is I’ve been [...]

And of course the Elbo Room never disappoints. Look who we ran into the other night; Jackie Shroff himself! He’s actually just a huge teddy bear about everything and very very sweet about his fans. (I guess puff the magic dragon does help take the edge off!) Check it out, we all got pix and [...]
