Gone Too Soon at 95, Ram Jethmalani
“O h, please!” said that soft but conclusive voice, “You can’t stop at one! Cognac with warm water is the best drink to have because it has practically no sugar.” “Yes sir,” I responded feebly, looking around for support. With me was director Hansal Mehta, the mentor who I thought would be the saviour. The best he could do was negotiate on the quantity of Cognac in his next drink, not even mine, offering his beatific smile in return. I felt betrayed, but that’s another story.
Chhatth Puja and the Gulshan Kumarisation of India
I am sure the dainty Miss Sridhar must be doing her homework already to know more about what she is getting into. We may not have life-sized cut outs of Ms Cloaked Rotundity and Mr Goggled Baldness, but we have enough fodder loud enough to make her feel at home. What we lack in flashy flamboyance, we make up with our brassy brashness. We are a raucous country, yes ma’am. When the alphabets were getting distributed, the Biharis decided to take everything with all the hard consonants.
Kader Khan Wasn’t Just an Actor or a Writer. Kader Khan Was a Genre
Illustration: Shruti Yatam By Vaibhav Vishal Kader Khan wasn’t a writer or an actor. Of course, IMDb credits him with some 110 titles as a writer, and 416 as an actor, and a career in Hindi films spanning four decades, starting from 1971. Op-ed pieces have reasons to sing paeans about his extremely prolific contribution to cinema, proudly propping up the impressive statistics of more than ten films a year on an average before or behind the cameras.
Nita Ambani Doing (Olympics) Things
Nita Ambani becomes the first Indian woman member of International Olympic Committee, and social media is outraging already, questioning her credentials. That is so not fair. She has been involved in promoting multiple sports in the country, and deserves a seat at the IOC for all the right reasons. If you don’t believe me, this compilation should help. Bloody haters. <insert very very very angry emoji here> Nita Ambani after completing the gruelling 26 miles in the women’s marathon.
How the Hema Upadhyay I knew vanished before my eyes
Hema Hirani Upadhyay was a year senior to me at the Faculty of Fine Arts, MS University, Baroda. Soft-spoken and ever-smiling, she had this genteel charisma, this very graceful appeal that would always bowl us over. She was extremely affable, with her quiet, sophisticated charm, and everybody around her loved everything about her. Her works, in fact, spoke a lot more than she did. She knew her language, she knew her expressions, and she sure did know the stories her canvases would tell.
