Guests enjoying KRSMA wines under the pavilion. Swati, Shaun and me holding up my book. At the book event hosted by the Taj West End. Thank you KRSMA and The Taj West End Bengaluru. . . . . @tajhotels @krsmaestates @tajwestend @bengaluru #bangalore ##bookstagram #booklaunch #booklaunchparty #thecowsofbangalore #shobanarayan
To discuss books under the magical setting of a raintree is a gift. Thank you, The Taj West End for hosting a book discussion of my book, The Cows of Bangalore. The puliyogare, bisibele bhaath and appam/stew were yum. Thank you, KRSMA wines for the support. Your crisp white wine and lovely red wine were delicious. . . . . . @tajwestend @krsmaestates @tajhotels #krsmanac #tajhotels ##tajwestendbangalore #yum #book #thecowsofbangalore #shobanarayan
So all the cool people I know are posting about national siblings day. My brother occupies that nameless wordless non-negotiable space where boundaries blur. Shyam. You are me and I am you— only better hahahaha. What is the acronym? Public declaration of affection alert. I don’t know what to say about someone who is linked to me in this atom-genetic-emotion-parent fashion. Love you lots, bro!!!@shyampeak
The runner up. Standing picture for my columnist photo. In my pink ahimsa silk and Gucci shoes. Like wearing glass bangles mixed with gold. Thanks @prabhatshetty and @jamalshaikh for this shot that expands like Rajnikanth’s face in his movies lol . . . . #htmedia . . . . #htbrunch #hindustantimes #hindustantimesbrunch #pinksarirevolution #ahimsasilk #guccishoes #luxurybrand #flatshoes #blackshoes #silksari #indianaesthetics #indianstyle #styles
My columnist picture for my new column in HT Brunch. Thanks to the fabulous @jamalshaikh and @prabhatshetty for coming up with an image I love. Not to miss the old typewriter, the fountain pen and the notebook. A pose of such insouciance. . . . . #htbrunch #hindustantimes #hindustantimesbrunch #hindustantimesnewspaper #htmedia #fountainpen #watermanpen #typewriter #antique #antiquetypewriters #notebook #writing #sari #ahimsasilk #pinksari #columnist #portrait #portraitphotography

So excited for my new column in HT Brunch. My new editor, Jamal Shaikh, doesn’t do shortcuts or half measures. He flew down one of their star photographers from Mumbai to Bangalore to shoot my columnist photo at home. Here is Prabhat Shetty, the photographer and his assistant, Santosh, setting up for the shot that eventually made the cut. Beginning, Sunday, February 18th in HT Brunch. . . . . . . #hindustantimes #htmedia #htbrunch #brunch #magazine #columnist #photoshoot @jamalshaikh @htbrunch
