So is Drive any good?

I am not a fan of slow-burn movies. Blame it on the collective A.D.D. that three-screening has conferred upon all of us with on-demand access to the Internet, or on the fact that I am a philistine. If a movie takes its time getting there, it will have to get there on its own because I am no longer along for the ride. Drive is a slow movie, and yet, I was along for the ride every step of the way. Which leads me to conclude that it doesn’t matter how slight a movie’s plot is—and... Read More

Slow Down Clown at Live From The Console

Slow Down Clown is a band we consider a friend of One Small Window. And they were playing Live From The Console last night. So of course we turned up to cheer them on.

Check out the cool t-shirt frontman Vitek had on as a prop for their song ‘Bandra Girls’–he got it made... Read More

Jack Daniel’s Annual Rock Awards 2012

It has always been a pleasure to step onto Stage 3 at Mehboob Studios. Anish Kapoor’s exhibit last year was the first time for me. Then we had the run of the land as we documented the goings-on at the Mahindra Blues Festival 2012. And last evening we were guests at the 2012 edition of the Jack Daniel’s Annual Rock Awards (in association with Rolling Stone magazine). And yet again, the cavernous space was a treat to step into. I brought my camera and a humble 50mm... Read More

Pop-Up Store Saturday

The pop-up store is no longer an alien concept in Mumbai and on a sunny afternoon last weekend we made our way to one in Colaba set up by squarekey.com, an editorially driven e-commerce lifestyle website that will launch in April 2012. On display at the pop-up store were samples of the products that will be available through the website. The products were interesting (I’ve got my eye on a gorgeous Nanette Lepore ‘Cha Cha’ Bow Belt Print Silk Dress), as was the promise... Read More
