After a lot of ups and downs, good and not so good times, a lot of friends and a lull in writing, I am back at Mouthshut. This time all I am interested in is writing my hearts desires and not to be too woried about what others might say. I have lots and lots of interest. I love music, especially the slow notes of 1950s Hindi Films. One of my interets is to make a guess on the year of the movie or the music director while just listening to the songs. I enjoy Mirza Ghalib too, especially in the voices of Rafi, Begum Akhtar or Noorjehan. I do a lot of reading. Mostly I read and collect classics, Sdney Sheldons, Agatha Christies and comics - especially Asterix and Archies.Dont ask me what is common to all these - they are all from different genres and tastes. probably what binds them is that all of them are written nicely. I watch a lot of movies and TV - especially the commedy shows on both. However, when it comes to movie, I appreciate any good work with good characterisation - no mater what genre. Lamhe, Sholay and Hera Pheri are my three favourite movies. I love cooking. So weekends are my cooking days where I try all kinds of combinations/ innovative food. And of course, I love my work and look forward
