Going back a few years I was lucky enough to be part of a very successful business. At the time, everyone told me that I was successful and living a dream life. While the money, cars, clothes, and nightclubs may have made others think I was successful, I felt I was anything but successful. I was low on energy, depressed, anxious, and uninspired. As I recently reflected back on this […]

One thing is sure: if ever your eyes need a balm, head to Kerala. That verdant, lush, watery southern-most state of India. My first experience of a trip to this wonderfully green and clean state is permanently etched in my mind. It was dusk, in the month of May.

What does being creative mean? How does it feel? What do creative people do differently? Do they have a different ‘wiring’? Much to the dismay of creatively actualized people, in my opinion, the answer is a big no. They are not different or special, everyone is creative. The only difference is that some people don’t tap into their creative side or allow its expression as the human brain is designed […]
There have been so many times the Central Board of Film Certification and the filmmakers have been at loggerheads over cuts. Such is the nature of the relationship, we believe. The filmmakers’ creativity and vision is often left at the mercy of the censor board, but there is no denying the fact that the CBFC has to adhere to rules and regulations.
