Shyam Babu, thank you for everything!

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Shri Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition, Lok Sabha, for his gracious letter and kind words regarding the work we have been doing at Karwaan Heritage over the past five years to make history more accessible to people. It is truly a great honor.

On 24th Nov 2024, I co-led All We Imagine As Bombay with Payal Kapadia, a karwaan heritage walk inspired by her film ‘All We Imagine As Light’. Set in Lower Parel, once Bombay’s mill hub, we traced stories of labor, migration, chawls, and gentrification. Don’t miss her film—it’s in cinemas now!

I am trying my luck everywhere to get access to Payal’s film A Night Of Knowing Nothing.

Watched it multiple times already at different film festivals and will watch it again in theatres. This is a film that we all should support wholeheartedly. This is a hope for ‘acche din’ of Indian Cinema. The tickets are now available on BookMyShow.

I still remember that day long ago, you looked away but I saw you crying for me. Sayonara you said, my love. The morning came, you left and ivory flower- my lone memory of you. I walk alone still hoping to find you, the flower the blooms inside of my heart. I walk alone still hoping to find you…

Heading to Bombay to lead this very special heritage walk with Payal Kapadia, inspired by her film 'All We Imagine As Light'. I am very excited for this one.

In India, few filmmakers dare to embrace true experimentation and create prayog ka cinema, but Ashish Avikunthak undoubtedly stands as a pioneer in this realm. His latest film, Devastated, is being showcased at the Kolkata International Film Festival, and I’m looking forward to watching it soon.

A Beautiful Poster of Aag (1948). The film marked the debut of Kapoor as producer and director and was the first film produced by his R.K. banner. A man obsessed over two things: the theatre and a childhood friend, recounts his story to his new bride.

Durga is now really gone. Rest in Peace, Uma Das Gupta. Durga of Pather Panchali. It is impossible to forget the mesmerising frames of this film, masterfully captured by #SatyajitRay and Subrata Mitra.

Excited to join Bluesky. Let’s make this space for meaningful conversations, random musings and shared love for stories old and new. Looking forward to connecting !
