Rebels with a cause inspire me
Posted by Gul Panag on September 22nd, 2010
I adore people who are defiant in their stand and can shun stereotypes. Women who take bold steps and make crucial decisions in life are my favourite set of idols, be it in real life or as literary characters for that matter. I’m not much into period literature like Jane Austen’s Victorian romances. Rather, I’m more keen to follow rebels with a cause and souls made of sterner stuff. I… more
My Rainy Sunday
Posted by Gul Panag on August 29th, 2010
Woke up with a start when the bell rang this morning. It was 10. And I'd overslept. Even for a Sunday. So much for having a dog. Apparently some dogs wake up their owners at like 6 everyday. Milo is not one of them. He wakes up when I do. It's pouring cats and dogs. Trying to take the dog out in the morning rain is another story. Managed to… more

Inner voice
Posted by Gul Panag on February 5th, 2010
This was carried by the Indian Express(National edition) on Friday 5th Feb on their Op-Ed page. Inner voice There comes a time in life, when an inner voice urges you to give back. One can either stand up at that point and decide to act, or carry on with life's pursuits. The question is, when you do decide to stand up for what you think is right, is your spine… more

Why Twitter?
Posted by Gul Panag on December 22nd, 2009
One of the most significant developments in my life this year (and probably the lives of many people) has been Twitter. From not knowing that it was a two way medium to being in the run for the dubious title of 'Twitter Indian of the year' it has been a learning experience.  I am often asked by journalists why am I on Twitter. And my standard answer is "because it… more

Posted by Gul Panag on November 16th, 2009
As a 'celebrity' one is constantly being approached to help promote some charitable concern or the other. It's often difficult to judge their genuineness specially when they are a start up or the contribution they are looking for is monetary. Constraints of time do also play a role. However I have always tried to contribute in what ever way I can . To really believe in and enjoy something is… more
