 Unlike most other circumstances which have forced me to write, things which have happened in the more recent past, have compelled me not to.  

I often go a length before I get to the point of realization that it is not the journey I want to be on. I maybe a tripper of sorts so its possibly why I am able to flow with things and experience them until I make up my mind about whether I want to go the whole hog or whether I want to get back to base and try another route. The process is more important to me and I count myself lucky for having the choice. In this industry of ideas which means the world to us, who knows what is right and what is wrong?

My curiosity for art emerges from my inability to be anything other than a writer.

India for the first time after many decades is looking inwards.
And as it does that as a nation, it has started to stare at the truth right in the eye and express itself with an honesty which had become as alien to us as the cinema we had started to make in the eighties and nineties of the previous century.

Nidhi Razdan, Barkha Dutt, Dr. Prannoy Roy, Vikram Chandra, Arnab Goswami, Navika Kumar, Rajdeep Sardesai and Sagarika Ghosh, all make compelling television. Great Indian Television!
In the last few months, television seems to have finally arrived, if only on the shoulders of the few names I've taken above.
