Ahem... Going Places...?!

So this week was my claim to fame. Lets run through it shall we?

Sunday, 18th Sept 2005

Venue: TV18 studios
Channel: CNN
Show: CNN connect (Dialogue for peace)
Panelists: Imran Khan, Praful Patel, Humayun Akhtar Khan, Shabana Azmi, Mia Mansha and Nasil Wadia

The discussion was nothing out of the ordinary but was very crisp and still jumped a lot of topics from all over. I did not get a chance to speak (like 75 others in the audience) but was good fun listening to them having a chat about improving relations with Pakistan. Good show overall I would say.

Shabana Azmi and me after the show...

Tuesday 20th Sept 2005

Venue: MTV studios, Lower Parel
Channel: MTV
Show: * not really sure*
Topic: Relevance of Mahatma Gandhi in today’s world.
Panelists: Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Urmila Matondkar, Ashok Pandit.
Hosted by: Cyrus Sahukar.

This was a more exciting show and it was nice to have people from Delhi and Banglore, connected via satellite and all spoke their mind on the topic. It was an excited debate to say the least and the panelists were thrilled by the fact that the youth just spoke their mind and were so forthcoming. It was a lovely experience to converse with this fabulous bunch of Indians. Good fun overall. Not to mention the lovely lunch and a great class with Rajiv Chavla at the end of the day.


that would be Boman Irani and the rest of us...

Waiting for more such encounters with the biggies.

'Not to mention the lovely lunch...'

But it's good to know you haven't forgotten the real issues, the ones close to your...er... heart....

by the way, what did you say to Shabana Azmi, she looks pissed.

Lunch is a good thing dude... when u stay hungry for five streight hours and that too for their show, lunch of any kind is good.

shabana was looking at the camera and that Jim Clansi called her when the person clicked... idots. wouldve been a much better snap i tell you.
