She pushed me to box for school, play rugby for the Bombay Gym. She opened the entire library of books at home for me when I turned 10. She taught me how to pick wild flowers for the house. And she never entered the kitchen. Gender equality? We breathed it. My friends thought she was way cooler than I was – they came over more to hang with her than with me. (Though, which mother makes her son wear a knit pullover with a bumblebee on it?) She died when I was 20. Never saw me act professionally – either on the Bombay stage or in cinema. Ah, well. You can’t have it all. #KumudThoratBose #MothersDay
Always nostalgic to see players in the India jersey. In #Bhubaneshwar with the women’s and men’s national rugby teams as they prepare to fly out to Jakarta for the Asian Rugby 7s. You can spot the South African coaches way behind in the selfie, Ludwiche Van Deventer and Louis Boshoff. I think these are the best prepared teams we have sent out internationally. Good luck to them! Thank you @sports_odisha and #KIIT for all the support. @asiarugbylive @rugbyindia

Found two face masks from the time I had got some while helping clean the race course during the Swacch Bharat Abhiyan drive. Was told they are a one time use. After climbing a personal best of 225 floors today, I can totally see that. #wetsuitwetmask #summerscuba #whoneedswater
About last ‘Eve’. Read excerpts from the indomitable @eveensler ‘s new book #TheApology which was followed by a conversation between Eve and the amazing @fayedsouza and closed with the unveiling of the book. All of it designed and organised by @shahnandita2016 (seen in the image with Eve and Faye) and @gandhi_nandita the peerless duo from @aksharacentreindia At the @mumbaiopera . The energy in the auditorium could have powered a small country. 💪🏾

Spot on @virat.kohli .
Day 12 of my #21DayTribute to great writers and their unforgettable books. Written in Bengali by Bibhutibhushan Bandopdhyaya, this luminous novel was made into a cinematic masterpiece by Satyajit Ray. For me Pather Panchali shines for its achingly sensitive portrayal of a sibling relationship between a little boy, Opu and his (elder) sister, Durga. I hope you enjoy this. #passagestothesoul #booksarelife
The women’s and men’s national #rugby teams training at the @abhinav_bindra created #ABTP high performance centre in #Bhubaneshwar . The Indian teams’ (South African) rugby coaches said it was one of the best centres they have seen in their global travels. Thank you, Abhinav and your team for your hospitality. Thank you @sports_odisha for your generosity in making this world class facility available for free to our players. 🙏🏾💪🏾👏🏾 @rugbyindia

Knowing the use of technology and innovative ways of operating from home, purchasing supplies at the touch of a button are privileges not all of us are conversant with. Let’s equip our senior citizens to endure this period better. Let’s share our knowledge and care for their needs.
The elderly are the most at risk due to COVID-19.
Iss Baar #BadonKeLiye #JaagoRe!! ❤️ Lets be there for them without being around them.
Log onto jaagore.com to know more, share your ideas and pledge your support to help the elderly. https://www.instagram.com/jaagore/ @jaagore
…205 floors last evening. That’s twice up and down the Empire State Building. Clearly the elders were wrong. You don’t need talent to get to the top. Just glutes. 😳#lockdownlifelessons
My night training space. That’s #Rajasthan for you. Astonishing anywhere you point your camera. More to follow tomorrow from my #IndiaYatra #Khimsar
That’s a clip of Poorna Malavath (played by Aditi Inamdar) summiting #Everest from my film @poornathefilm Today I pay tribute to @poorna.malavath : I have climbed over 3000 floors in 18 days – that’s higher than Everest. Of course it’s not even a millionth of the mental tenacity and physical energy needed to do what she did, but still, my little tribute to one of my favourite people on the planet. #youngestgirltosummitEverest @primevideoin
The great @louizbanks and I collaborated @teachers.in #teachersgoldenthistleawards last night. He composed music to accompany three pieces I recited : If by Kipling, The Road Not Taken by Frost and Imagine by Lennon. Here’s a bit from the Frost piece. Thanks, Louiz. We should have done this years ago! #genuineisrare
What a terrific example @officiallawrenceschoolsanawar is setting for their students. If you are moved enough to contribute, here are the details. Congratulations to the Headmaster @dhillon.himmat and his team! 💪🏾 Those mountains are my second home.
