it’s been over two weeks since i left mumbai. i’ve kept busy. i continued my glorious summer by going on a road trip from philadelphia to chicago with a few friends – with many stops and adventures along the way… but i still think about India tirelessly. in my last couple days in bombay, there [...]
Sarah’s last day

Today the direction team took us out for dinner after work for Sarah’s last day. It was really sad realizing she might never see any of them ever again. Watching her hug them all and say goodbye made me realize that I definitely made the correct decision to stay. I am simply not ready to [...]
Swindlers

I detest getting ripped off. Especially when the person doing it makes it a point to gloat.
Every day that I am here, I get swindled by a rickshaw driver. They either demand a flat fee to drive me somewhere, or they drive me halfway around Mumbai in order to make extra money from me. I [...]

The past few days we haven’t been shooting for “The little GODFATHER” because of the monsoons. The scene we need to shoot is the train explosion, but due to the rains we haven’t been able to shoot it. I am so disappointed, I really want to see how they do it! I doubt they will [...]

Tuesday was a great day! Muneesh gave me the great surprise that everyone in the group was indeed allowed to the come to the set, so Monday night, I was so happy to give them the great news. I basically told them to drop everything (if they could) to come to the set. I know [...]

I am sitting in the internet cafe down the street from our hostel hiding out from the rain. The sun hasn’t been out in days…the monsoons are here early, and they aren’t going anywhere.
Since it has been so hot everyone is welcoming the rains, but it is hard for me to enjoy them. The one [...]
Three First Days

It has been forever since I have blogged…I don’t know where to begin.
My internship(s) got off to a very rocky start. The first day Jahaan and I went to Bandra together to meet with people at Mukta Arts. I was so happy to have her with me because first days are so nerve wracking and [...]

How can I sum up the events of the past two weeks? They are the reason why I’ve been away from the blog for so long, because I simply have lacked the time to actually sit down and type out something coherent. I have gone for a night shoot and come back to the flat [...]
