48h film project – “Marco Polo”, the movie
For a first attempt at making a short film, I think it has turned out really really well. The entire team did an amazing job. Even the music is original, which I think is rare for the 48 hour film project competition. Check out my previous posts for background and photos: “48h film project –…

Glastonbury 2009 – It was another great one
I am back in London now. Glastonbury was another amazing experience. I arrived in London on Thursday evening with a plan on how to reach the festival fields but without having booked anything. BIG MISTAKE. I knew it was going to be an adventure getting there given my late arrival into Heathrow. Unfortunately, the coaches…

Help wanted… Choosing bands for Glastonbury
How could one possibly choose between all these bands in the concurrent stages? If you have any recommendations from the line up, I’d love to hear it (either a comment or drop me a line). I am going into “digital silence” from Thursday evening (UK time). Glastonbury 2009 lineup.

The 48 hour film project
My friend David is very much into film directing. While he was taking classes, he asked me to act in his film projects with his wife Sophie in the first one and other friends in the second one. It was a looooooot of fun and we even shot the “making of” :-))) Last year, David…

My parents’ visit
It’s been a week since my parents left (they visited for 30 days). It was great having them around. If you’ve been following my twitter updates, you’d probably know that it was a bit hectic trying to balance work, parents, and a bit of social life. No matter how crazy life was, though, it was…
