    (NOTES ON WRITING SANKAT CITY) Long ago, a Shanghai Night. It was late, the joint was nearly empty. I doodled on a paper napkin - INT.

    My journey from Diamond Talkies To Suleman Scientist’s Lab
    It’s at the box office window of Diamond Talkies I realized, that a human wrist is the most supple of all body parts. There was no concept of a queue here, the moment the window would open, the mob would charge, screaming expletives, eyes bulging wide, shoving, jostling, elbowing each other, fists holding crumpled currency and shove their hands into the tiny hole, ten...

    The journey from FLAVORS to 99…
    …has been a damn long one! About 4 years ago, Raj and I directed FLAVORS. Anupam was our friend by then and he agreed to produce the film along with us. It is an independent film in every aspect of the word. It was low-budget (which felt ridiculously high given that we were putting in all our savings), we did most of the tasks during production, we used all free...
