Gratitude

There are times when I think what’s the need of writing an acknowledgement note. People, who know me, know that I am forever grateful for their help, motivation and encouragement. They don’t need an external endorsement or proof of my sentiments.

Kasuali - Just Chill

This one is for my favourite places to chill - Kasauli

Many a people have asked why I chose Kasauli for my new release 'Jugnu'.

Kasauli HillsSecond consideration was that I should have visited the place. It is far easier to write when you have personal...

In an effort to unravel the mysteries of finding the funny bones and tickling them, I invite Suresh Chandrasekaran, author of 'A Dog E...
