New Year Diary: 31^st December, 2011

I had a great New Year at Goregaon’s Filmcity park, actually, more of a forest. It was with the BNHS, at the BNHS conservatory inside Filmcity’s premises. Luckily, after reaching late to be able to stay awake till 12 am, I really enjoyed my evening with…

Fascinating! Naresh Fernandes has published his new book, "Taj Mahal Foxtrot", which traces the advent of jazz in Goa (!) during the 30s to our own time.  A little known corner of jazz history, it documents the contributions of American expatriate and Indian musicians, and many more in the 20s and 30s into the 40s and beyond.

Pl check out my movie on SOBO, South Bombay.

I have just started digital photography, and thank god for the fact that PCs and fancy cameras have made the task a lot easier. Although, I have many albums up on Flickr, I would like you to visit and comment on this one. It's ironical that the more things change, the more they remain the same.

When I have time on a…

So, I've been living in Amman Jordan for a year now, and have come to realize that this city desperately needs some colour.
