LIGHTS ... CAMERA .. ROLLING and ACTION !!

She is sitting in the park; the same place like everyday.

Looking at the watch, getting restless and waiting ….

She is walking through the same route like everyday turning back now and then ... restless....

Even the coffee at her favorite coffee joint doesn’t seem to taste good – something s wrong. Her eyes seem to be searching for someone…

Yes .. she is searching for someone and his absence today is making her restless.

And then suddenly from no where she finds a mobile phone on her table .Where did it come from? Who put it there?

Slowly she picks it up and is surprised to see its contents.

She finds a picture of her at the park bench waiting earlier that day.
Next, a picture of her turning back to see if she s being followed.
Next, a picture of her sitting at the same coffee table having her coffee …

What is this?What do all these pictures mean ?Who took them ?

BEEEP – New Message – One more picture – its now her sitting with some guy at the same coffee table …. Eh ?? what could this mean ?

She slowly brings down the phone her pulse increasing with every second.Is it right what the picture s showing ?

Sitting rite opposite to her on the same table was the one her eyes were searching all day.

She was caught red- handed!!

CUT – CUT – CUT ….. PERFECT !!


That was just one of scenes that I had to shoot for a short film IDHAZH .

Yes – You read it right – I worked in a short film , the girl in the above scene s ME .. ME .. ME .. :P


And I might not have done a good job writing about the scene here , its much better to watch it - but no harm in trying...hehe...

DREAM ON STUDIOS present ..... IDHAZH .. a film by Sharath and Anucharan.




Thats the poster for the film .. Cute aint it ?

It’s a love story , 12 mins and I had a rocking time shooting it with Sharath and Anu.

And like any actress promoting her film – I’ll say the guys have done a fantastic job - coz shooting a film where the faces are not being shown and emotions like love, anger ,sadness all being expressed just by the use of hands is difficult.

Kudos to Sharath and Anu . You guys did a rocking job.

And now the links for the film itself :

Do watch it and like always do not forget to leave comments : )

Paa .. I love you !

I dont know what made me write this poem and I have no clue how I could write it let alone post it on my blog here - but this is one way I let my emotions come out and for someone who meant the most to me - My Dad.

Paa - There are so many things I still had to share with you , so many moments I had to spend with you.I wish I had more memories of us together Paa .. I wish I'd never had come to Sydney after your treatment, tat way I'd have more time to spend with you....

I miss the long phone conversations with you - there s a gap - a space in my life and I dont have the courage to over come it...




I cried again today
Uncontrollable tears fell from eyes,
It seems like all I do is cry
And its getting harder for me to hide.
I lie in bed and cry all night,
And I don’t feel any better in the morning light.

Paa … I miss you !!

I held your hand as you took your last agonizing breath
You fought with your heart and soul,
My world came crashing down like pack of cards
I dint want to be consoled.

I never thought I’d see you die
How could you walk away breaking all ties ?
Who will teach me right from wrong,
With you gone?
Whom will I turn for answers,
When life does not make sense?
Who will be there to hold me close,
And always be there for my defense?

I cant call you on the phone,
I cant knock on your door.
No matter how loud I scream,
You wont be there for me like before.

It was so hard for you to let me go at the airport
To let your “beta” venture into a world unknown
Without you holding my hand or to catch me if I fall
To walk the path that you have shown.

Paa .. I need you !!

So many images come into my mind,
Whenever I speak of your name.
I cant seem to come to terms with the fact
That our lives wont be the same.

The times we shared,the laughs we had,
Things I miss when I think of you Dad.
Realizing that's all I have to hold on too,
Only memories, Of what once was you.

Missing your laugh, I will never again hear.
That is the reality that fills me with so much fear.
No more smile on your face,
No more warmth of your embrace.

The last hug, The last kiss,
The last "goodbye" leaves me with one last wish...
To have you Dad, here today,
Never to leave your Daughter this way.

Oh, Paa, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.

Today, God, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.

I love you Paa ....!!
