#REPOST @beneaththesheetz with @get__repost__app �"Pack for 2 months but you may be sent home in 2 days." That was what I was told when I got asked to audition for I CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT in London.
Little did I know when I did get the part, was what this film would become to so many. When I read the script, I was pulled in by this incredible tale of love and honesty. And then I met @shamimsarif and @hananfkattan, the ladies that the film was truly about and they became instant family. And then I met the incomparable @lisaraniray … and 'the rest is history.' ❤️🌈
We made this movie before gay marriage was legal, before brown was cool, and way before 'being yourself' was lauded. There was no fancy budget or intimacy coordinators. In fact, one of the investors was as slimy and as corrupt as they come. This piece of garbage not only harassed many of us, he also deliberately didn’t pay our hotel room bill so one night after a long shoot day, we came home to find ourselves locked out and our stuff removed. I even had to sneak out of London in the middle of night to catch a flight back to the US that I booked on my own as this same investor didn’t want me to leave...this same person 'lost' our sound so we had to dub THE WHOLE MOVIE. I could go on and on about the challenges with this film.
But what prevailed was our spirit and passion.
Many international awards and over 100 million views and countless fan videos later…this film is celebrated as one of the most iconic films featuring LGBTQ+ themes and characters in a way never seen before. 🙏🏽
Before it was hip to do so.
Happy Pride, friends. Keep doing you, no matter what the world is telling you.
We love and see you. 😘

Caramel in the sand
What doesn’t melt is the moment

‘The flâneur – the keen-eyed stroller who chronicles the minutiae of city life – has long been seen as a man’s role. From Virginia Woolf to Martha Gellhorn, it’s time we recognised the vital, transgressive work of the flâneuse.’

I was delighted when Lisa Ray accepted to write an essay for Period Matters, and when she told me what she would share, I knew her essay would bring a perspective that was missing from the book, but also it would have that very special energy and vibe which is Lisa Ray.
In her very personal essay Lisa Ray speaks openly and movingly about how an early onset of menopause was triggered by an illness. She talks about sisterhood and empowerment, bodily changes, having children and overcoming the negative stereotyping of women going through menopause.
Read her inspiring essay in Period Matters. Preorder here: https://amzn.to/3NFmXVr

There’s no question that I enjoy being forever an amateur at many – if not all – endeavours. Water Color painting in particular challenges all notions of ‘getting it right’. But what it does is make you look closer, to not lose sight of beauty – wonder- joy. I read somewhere ‘you cannot be a writer if you are unable to name all the trees in your city’ which made me bristle because of course I can – but only by deploying google. But beyond the written word, to feel the breath of life means getting on our knees and noticing. Being captivated by eggs – leaves- shoes – trees and the way sand patterns itself along the shore.
Better than meditation even, and a hot bath and a massage, see the world through the eyes of an amateur. It will drop you places you can’t access through your clever mind. Forever delighting in my amateurish ways – that pretty much sums up all I do.
Happy Yoga Day!
My time on the mat is sacred and inner eye led, so I rarely take photos. However here’s me practising warrior in an old feature shot in Udaipur, just to pay obeisance to the practise that brings me home. Every time.

@thejamjardubai @wishingwelldubai
Taking on this weighty book – weighty in terms of physical heft not tone. So far – delighted- charmed- capsized by the layered narrative and characterizations.
And what an excellent and nuanced translation. So thankful for the fine work by @shreedaisy without which I may not have been exposed to this fable like, messy and poetic inventory of a North Indian family by author #GeetanjaliShree
@thebookerprizes got it right this year.
#REPOST @brycesmom.310 with @get__repost__app “It’s only when things fall apart we can remake ourselves with a deeper and more enduring beauty. We are, in fact, more beautiful for having been broken.”

My year to date in a frame. Computer signals sometimes writing. Necklace crafted by little hands. And #TheHeartAsksPleasureFirst speaks for the first half of 2022 – chasing where the heart leads.
Oh, and if you haven’t read this spectacular book by @karunaezara I envy you. The paperback is out and you can discover this utterly mesmerizing tale now.
#REPOST @bysarahkhan with @get__repost__app Kamala Khan, meet Zainab Khan – our own tiny cancer-slaying superhero! This month, Zainab has been so excited about her fellow Muslim superhero @msmarvelofficial. There are just FIVE DAYS LEFT to donate to our fundraising campaign for @llsusa – we are SO SO close to our goal of funding a pediatric cancer research portfolio in Zainab’s honor. Every dollar will help us work together to slay that nefarious villain blood cancer – please head to the link in my bio to donate before June 25. And swipe to watch Zainab ring the bell to end 2.5 years of chemo in 2019, an amazing moment for our family. #TeamKhanfidence #ZainabsSquad #MsMarvel
#REPOST @aninditaghose with @get__repost__app It’s the kind of weather in Bombay that a poem like this is a whole day gone. So might as well lose the longest day of the year? By @wildeamericanboy, a poet who says he writes “for the party girls who do get hurt.”
