I don't think I can even comment on Asha Bhosle's legacy and body of work but my god she managed to reach across so many generations so effortlessly. This song is a testament to how deeply she was ingrained in all kinds of music India was making. Rest in peace ❤️

My coping mechanism is to chant “I’m okay, I’m okay” on repeat until I believe it (do I ever?)

At @ottplayapp, I had a weekly column reviewing the latest Hollywood film and TV releases (including the occasional life-meets-cinema essays). I hope to continue the byline somewhere else, if possible. Putting it on here; I don't know how else to alert editors.

So, using the app the only way I know: if there is any editor looking to hire or commission Hindi film reviews, opinion pieces and/or essays on gender and pop culture, I'd be grateful for the opportunity.

We should cancel April fools this year. There is no prank topping our reality.

I love that Sriram Raghavan's idea of a war film is about peace, empathy and collective grief. Ikkis has come as a bit of a ray of hope in unexpected times.

Whenever I end up watching horrible rom-coms nowadays, I miss the warmth of SRK's romantic films a little more.

everyone should go watch a sunidhi chahuan concert at least once in their lives my god what a gal

At times, I wake up hoping things would feel normal again but they don't. The dark clouds blocking my mind are adamant about not leaving me.

No better way to celebrate November 2 ❤️

Happy Birthday, @iamsrk. Thank you for always being that constant source of hope and happiness even in times when it feels like there's none. November 2 will forever feel like a festival. ❤️

Can attest to this. Thank goodness for this film festival.

@mohit_shah17 Can't get Saiyaara out of your mind, can you?

The only good thing to have come out of this terrible month.

Anxiety, insomnia and the only daughter syndrome: how do you cope?

Had never really been big on birthdays, and yesterday has made me even more averse to the idea of it. As a relative put it, it was more of a jolt/shock to adult-life trauma day that nobody should have to go through.

My back might be killing me but bending down and petting my cat endlessly somehow comes first?

I've been fostering this cat for the past 3 days and I already feel like it's the parrot to my king (iykyk). True to my Libra self, I currently don't know how to feel about this feeling.

@MadameSengupta You're a star ❤️

have been feeling disillusioned about writing for a while; difficult not to, given the current times, etc. But this week felt different. Enjoyed writing and realised there is nothing else I can (or want to) do. Here's my pieces:
