You know a successfully content person when you see one. Recently, I have been seeing Farhan Furniturewala at many social events. The man always looks happy and relaxed, even though he may have had a past which could have left many shaken.

I had written about his mother a couple of weeks ago. But this is the story of her son —sadder still.
Sanjay was born a Sadarangani but lived most of his childhood years as a Wallia, born amidst turbulence to parents who both desired his custody. His parents lived in London, his mother working as a travel consultant, while his father was always in “search of employment” — basically a no-gooder in life. One day, as Rita dropped little

I met a very refreshing person, purely by chance, and she left quite an impression on me. I was taking a taxi to the train station in Paris from my hotel, she was waiting for a taxi and obviously looked like she was in a hurry. I offered her a ride, as she too was going on the Eurostar from Paris to London.

Rita came from a conservative family. Her father was a disciplinarian and dominating. Rita was young, impressionable and an obedient little girl, who sought love and attention.

Recently, whilst on my trip, breakfast time has become TV time. In India, I rarely put the idiot box on as I find that the whole day one is dealing with people, so when I get back home, I like to kick back in silence.

Recently, when I was in Los Angeles, I went to see one of America’s most watched talk show — the Ellen DeGeneres Show. The audience flocks outside for a good two hours before they finally get to enter the studio.

This is an incident in a little girl’s life that could have a lasting effect on her.
I am not disclosing her true identity as she goes to school and has a regular life full of friends and activities. So let’s call her Jasmine.

I have a friend who underwent a small operation at the Parsi General Hospital. The hospital is nothing like any other Mumbai hospital. The community is lucky to have this nursing home available to them and for them only. When you enter, it is more like a club with high ceilings and wide corridors, a far cry from the railway platform type of

The mind is such a funny thing. It is able to take you high to a pinnacle and bring you down to an extreme low. You may be feeling bright and secure within, and the world around you is a happy one, whereas the same world looks dull and sad when your mind is low and not in your control. I figured a lot about mind control and having to consciously shift your mindset into another perspective.

He has been styling my hair for the last five years in Dubai. Whenever I visit, he cuts my hair with precision and highlights the strands for that perfect glow. He knows his job and he enjoys it as well. We even laugh together when he tells me that homosexuals put a lot more passion into their work than straight people do, as they try to win people’s affection through their work, hence, putting in that extra bit makes the difference.
