Notes, interviews and stories on creativity, inspiration and pushing past boundaries.
2022 Leaps List
What I learnt in 2022, plus my fave films, shows, books and more of the year.
Inspire Me: Aradhana Seth
I chat to Aradhana Seth about her roles as production designer and art director on films from 'The Darjeeling Limited' to 'West is West', with many more in between.
Dolly, WALL-E and me
When a film is a great deal more than a film: a story of memories, loss and everlasting impact.
Written on the Pulse
How reading Bangladeshi authors writing in English has moved, educated and thrilled me.
Ode to: If Tomorrow Comes
The cheesy melodrama and atrocious '80s fashion combine to form deeply fun revisited old American mini-series from my youth.
Film Therapy for Love
Feeling doomed about love? Disillusioned about finding someone special? No faith in relationships? Try some film therapy.
Books: First Person Accounts
I read these memoirs in the spirit of fiction, but I love knowing that (almost) all of it actually happened.
Films: Cheer Me Ups
The cure for anything, as far as I'm concerned, is a film. When a bit down and needing a guaranteed pick-me-up, I turn to one of these.
Films: Love Stories
Sizzling screen chemistry in my favourite cinematic love stories, including romantic comedies, weeping tragedies and good old classics.
Films: Indian
A list of wonderful Indian films from a person who grew up watching American and European cinema.
Films: Comedies
My favourite clever comedy films filled with wit and charm, love and warmth.
