Pirate Radio with Luke Kenny!

So I recently had Luke Kenny come host pirate radio with me on 94.3 Radio One and he was a pure delight! Of course he knows his music big time plus he’s also a really nice guy, so zero down-side! I do have to confess though that the powers that be have clamped down on [...]

Rajeev Samant’s Sula Wine Up!

So like I said Rajeev Samant had a little soiree at The Tasting Room at Good Earth to celebrate 10 years of Sula Wines on Thursday night. (I’m a big fan of their Rose Zinfandel by the way, yummy!)

#fail Zoya. That don’t impress me much.

Recently a friend of mine did the girlie thing and bought an entire outfit (including the shoes, bags and earrings) from a boutique called Zoya in Bandra, Mumbai just so she would have something to wear to a friends wedding sangeet party. Yes, we’ve all been there and I quite liked her outfit and was [...]

And let me guide you to the Purple Rain!

(My apologies for the plagiarism Prince) but last night I thought of Velocity (remember Velocity?! And that retro room inside where we’ve all danced our 30-year-old hearts out to dancing queen time after time?!) Well Tardeo just got a much-needed new night spot.

Remembering 26/11

I watched in horror as the events of 26/11 unfurled over the course of three miserable days this time last year. I watched my city burn as we sat helpless, unable to extinguish the flames of malicious hatred that burn in the hearts of so many. I watched the news last night where there was [...]
