It is odd that a person who has spent her entire adult life communicating about others, finds it so difficult to write about herself.

What do I do ? I have worked in the broadcast media for well over a decade. For the first chunk, I worked with the Zee Network – and handled their Educational Channel. Now, I run a production house called Cogito Media - with a couple of friends/business partners … and it is great fun. These are exciting times for the entire Indian broadcasting industry, and it is an experience to be a part of it…. I also teach Media and Culture at Sophia College, Mumbai – as visiting faculty…
What is POV about? As the name suggests, it is about a Point of View — mine. …. both in pictures & in words….Do browse and drop a line ….

Harini: The new theme with coffee beans is full of beans and easy on the eye. Thanks.
hi tnx…the freewordpress theme guys rock ……
Hi Harini, quite a profile. Interesting info on Tibet but boycotting Olympics would be quite an extreme knee jerk reactive which in turn might have a counter effect on the protesters. I feel China is holding its batton and not coming too hard on the protestors. If we boycott, the chinese will have nothing to lose and they’ll start a special pogrom then for the protestors.
Right now we need to engage and slowly build the bridges.
I noticed you in my bloglog widget. Thanks for checking out my site.

hi Tarun
thank you….
I am not quite sure of that. The counter i have for that is South Africa and Apartheid…. at some level the international boycott helped in dismantling the regime….be it in terms of sport or in terms of economics…
With China, I am not sure about building bridges… the most we can hope for is cordial neighborly behavior not friendship…. and, it gets a bit much if our ‘cordial neighbor’ occupies thousands of kms’ of our territories and their paid stooges (CPI-m) holds the country for ransom….
I really don’t think that we will boycott the Olympics…the left won’t let us
Harini,

Gargi – any memories around Filmistan Studio shooting with Mukesh Malik and having garam chai with the gang? Add one more monsoon song to your list ‘ Aate Jaate Khoobsoorat Aawara Sadko Pe’ from Anurodh. Rajesh Khanna describing his chance meeting with Simple Kapadia on radio….
Hi Harini, thanks for your lovely comments on my photographs. Its been all my pleasure.

thank you
have added yours to my reader too ..
silly question : how do you pronounce calamur? i don’t know marathi.
Chalamur (like cha like chacha nehru) or Kalamur (like K in king)?
kindly delete the above comment. i look like an idiot asking that silly question. thank you.
Hi,
I believe you were in touch with Paul Albert who is making a short documentary film for Nokia. I am the India Producer for the film. Can you mail or text me your number so that we can be in touch directly and can discuss this in detail.
I look forward to hearing from you…
