Was very very tied up last few weeks working on an untitled film for Prakash Jha Productions. Tried to stay in touch on twitter and became an addict! Here's a quick update. The first thing I’d like to talk about is my recent "good" experiences with Jet. Have flown Jet (bad food incident not with standing, I only travel Jet) a couple times since the said incident and have found… more

My tweet "Jet airways food is going from bad to worse. Had excruciating stomach pain with in ten minutes of "snack" consumption.Will carry tiffin next" got a lot of responses on twitter. Here is the rest of my experience for those who care to know. Jet Airways food had stopped being appetizing a long time ago. But one assumed it was healthy and hygienic. My immunity was in for a… more

I was invited by Screen ( an Express group publication) to a panel discussion on Celebrity social responsibility: does it go beyond lip service? . My co panelists were Imran Khan, Diya Mirza, Raju Hirani, Priyanka Sinha(editor of Screen Weekly) and Radhika Bajaj from UTVi. Panel discussion. Here are some (not all) of my thoughts on the subject. I think any change good or bad is the result of effective… more

6.55 am, on board Shatabdi express en route to Delhi I had a very interesting topic raised on twitter by Sandip, about the need to do away with regional parties by encouraging people to vote for national parties. I often find parties ( regional and national)nominating candidates that I personally would not vote for. The party ( and god)only knows what is the criteria for for giving nomination. This dubious… more

So I have got off to a rather slow start blogging this year, and I hope this pace is now behind me. I meet a lot of people who seem surprised that I blog( albeit irregularly) and even more so when they find out that I don't talk about Bollywood. My answer is , why should I? Why should I do what every one else does? Wear what every one… more

Agreed that the recent terror attack had a "foreign hand". It is debatable , whether the state of Pakistan is in any way responsible. After a long time, there is some sort of a democracy in Pakistan, a country that herself has been a victim of terror on countless occasions. It is extremely unlikely that they would support any act of terror on our soil. "Elements" outside their control supporting… more

"You’d be surprised to realise how it is much more likely you would get away with saying something entirely facetious and silly, but get into trouble when you try making a serious, sincere point. That, at least, has been the story of my life. At a series of public functions in Pakistan several years ago, I said Pakistan was in many ways as imperfect a dictatorship as India was an… more

I don't know how my comments will be taken by you but this had to happen and is not a complete surprise. Me and you only take notice of terror when it enters the malls or the hotels. But if the same thing happens in the slums we are ok with it. This is a much larger issue than it looks. Have you ever taken into consideration the Islamic population… more
