Risky romance!

Play On ( dedicated to all those I’ve ever worked with on stage and all those who love theatre!)

I have been doing professional theatre ever since I was 14 years old. Theatre has given me a home, given me a voice, given me confidence and even found me a husband! ‘Sound of Music,’ taught me to sing and I have been singing ever since. My taste in music is questionable…but nonetheless I’llContinue reading “Play On ( dedicated to all those I’ve ever worked with on stage and all those who love theatre!)”

Well I though I could listContinue reading “What I WANT from THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT & what I think INDIA DESERVES!”

Mumbai can’t keep bouncing back! IT’S NOT A BALL!!!!!!

Yesterday’s blasts were a familiar reminder of the tears and horror that Mumbai is systematically put through almost as a sad reminder every 2/ 3 years! We call the city, ‘Ma’ (mother) and ‘Devi’ (Goddess) and yet we allow terror to rape her heartlessly and brutally repeatedly again and again and again!!!! And sureContinue reading “Mumbai can’t keep bouncing back! IT’S NOT A BALL!!!!!!”

…cos it’s all in my head! ( aka what women want!)

that’s the difference often between happiness and the IDEAL of happiness….my husband taught me very early in life ( by default of course) that men have absolutely NO IDEA what you want, what you’re thinking or why you are in that obnoxious mood….you want to him to learn, you want him to know- TELL HIM!!!Continue reading “…cos it’s all in my head!

love byte(n) and already missing the bytes!

so the last month has been full of jet set getaways, 5 am flights, hectic rehearsals and even some outdoor shows! Yes! In summer! But it was also filled with tons of laughter, 9 people dinners, strange ‘dance’ movements, marco polo games in pools and tons of pranks! To say that this was undoubtedly oneContinue reading “love byte(n) and already missing the bytes!”
