RT @bhogleharsha: One of the greatest moments in Indian cricket history. And a moment where Mohd Siraj enters Indian cricket folklore.

And a touch of one of my favourite shows, Ted Lasso. Siraj says that "This morning, I Googled an image of 'Believe' and made it my wallpaper. I told myself, I will change the game today" . ❀️.

"India won by 6 runs" . In a TEST match. To level the series 2-2. Against England. IN England. With a new captain. No Bumrah. This is the stuff of freaking folklore. I doff my hat to Mohd. Siraj. Whatta playa!. #INDvsENG.

No producer pays you enough that you don't need to take up other jobs. But they all want you to give them time as if you have no other work to do. It's so exhausting on some days to manage workload and expectations, while figuring erratic cashflows. It's been that kinda week.

If 2 writers have written a film (which includes the director), how can the big credit say "Written & Directed by"? Sliding in the other writer's name in small print doesn't help. Really reeks of insecurity.

I remember the shock I felt when I read about Rishabh Pant's horrible accident. And then praying for his recovery. To see him get back on field, and now these 2 centuries in the all important England Test series is nothing short of a dream. What a guy! #INDvENG.

Pant is a MUCH better red ball cricketer than he is with the white ball. It's like he a whole other player in Tests - he reads the game better, he plays the game better and he enjoys the game better. And his numbers speak for themselves. #INDvsENG.

Long time coming!. Thrilled for this SA win. Even though it's a different format, I've been hoping for this ever since that WC 1999 heartbreak. So well deserved. Innings of a lifetime by Markram and Bavuma. Congratulations!.

I haven't stopped thinking about all the little things in all the families that will never happen now. Not in the manner that was initially planned. All I pray is that they heal with time. And that they find newer ways to enjoy those little things again. #AhmedabadPlaneCrash.

The places that were shortlisted to be visited together. Who will go there?. Yes, there are the big things. The dreams. The hopes. The possibilities. But they all manifest through these little things. And the pain of these little deaths always scares the shit out of me.

It's always the little things that get to me. The flowers that were bought before the airport pick up. Who will hold them?. The dinner that was planned to welcome a loved one. Who will eat it? . The hotel room, with a welcome note tucked on the pillow. Who will sleep in it?.

The absolute freaking nightmare. I hope that the ones who have even the longest shot at surviving, beat the odds and come through. For the families, I can only pray for strength to live through this nightmare. For those who can donate or help, PLEASE DO! #AhmedabadPlaneCrash.

Despite all the 'progress' we've made, the legal language in almost all writers' agreements remains shocking. Almost no guarantees are given, including credits, and absolutely no rights remain with the writer. All films & shows are made on graveyards of writer's basic rights.

Similar feeling was for our films at film festivals. Sure, we always had the familiar face on some red carpets but rarely ever for official film selections. Cut to: Look at our legit presence at Cannes! @PayalKapadia86's BIG win last year & her presence in the JURY this year!.

Anyone who grew up in the 90s in India and followed cricket, knows that it was full of heartbreak. We lost more than we won. Many of us saw matches with a feeling of impending doom & a prayer, "Bas bhagwaan, aaj jeet jaaye". Cut to: Look at how we dominate today!.

Chandan is a core memory & Kassimbhai is a big part of it. I've watched so many films with him from the projector room. He even brought me samosas and Simba chips to chomp on. How could I have not fallen in love with the movies? . So glad to see him being interviewed!.

It's so cool that Air India's idea of an American was a Native American. As obvious as it sounds, I suspect it wasn't commonplace in popular brand communication.

It feels like you're never off work. I've stopped responding on weekends, but it also means that on Mondays I have 87 updates to sift through and make sense of. Exhausting. Unnecessary.
