mahek @ adlabs



"mahek" prints are finally out. it will do the rounds of the festivals.... here

every time i see something i shot on a big screen i am re-amazed at the tactility of film. my memory invariably fails to record the details and textures of the people and locations.

there's even a word like "fauxmosexual".
it means (according to wiktionary) "a straight man who adopts some homosexual attitudes merely to attract women".
sigh.

juliet and i

juliet and i have done our first ride in the rains...
no longer do we fear stinging rain, blinding mist, skidding on wet roads and bad drivers. though i do cringe a bit at the thought of my underpants and socks getting soggy.


and that's shiva... recently returned from the himalayan odyssey 2007.

my only grouse against the motorcycle fetish (especially the royal enfield one) is that there's WAY too much machismo going around.

my grandaunt...
dr. anasuya mashruwala, 91, queen of sudoku
remembered a pithy from her on the subject of diverse medicinal systems and good health.
"ayurvedic diet, allopathic diagnosis, homeopathic cure."
seems to have worked for her.
