What a year you were 2022! Started the first days of the year on the set of what, in December, went on to become an award winning Aussie drama series (ya’ll seen The Twelve!?). Everything in between was a WILD ride. Not all of it was good and easy and salty ocean dipped…. But that’s life… and I’m so grateful to still be on the journey. So here’s a little summary (a little later than most) of my 2022 JOY. With it comes a heartfelt thank you to the souls who joined in to dance, laugh, cry, ruminate and hold space, a thank you for the learning and a thank you for that positive energy that always somehow found it’s way back.
LIST OF SOME GOOD THINGS: dancing, making art, tears with a scene partner, old friends, laughing, hugs, jokes, more jokes, new friends, dancing on rooftops, speaking about the future of India and Australia on the tele (yes nerd!), talking intercultural storytelling at Vivid with some Aussie acting greats, strutting in couture, promptly changing into cotton pyjamas, the Americas, community building, leading a film which aced representation (ya’ll seen Wedding Season!?), alone time, jamming in the car, chancing upon a Gurdwara during a morning walk in Los Feliz, dorbiiiii, bookstore arvos, jungle walks, ocean dips, yoga on the shores of Lake Atitlan, Climate Summit in the Galapagos with legendary humans, planting trees, hitched up lehengas and barefoot dance floors, Asian Excellence, thought leaders, Ayurvedic eating, sustainability learning, zero fast fashion, social entrepreneurship, HALDI, pranayama, mini ego deaths, getting it wrong, surrendering past stories, making way for new ones, returning to Melbourne to eat mamas rotis ….MORE DANCING!
2023 LESSGOOO! 🧡🕺🏽🙏🏽

A night to remember! My favourite frame is the last… three artists lost in their transcendental truth; an impromptu moment that can only happen when a group of people whose history and culture are rooted in the performing arts come together for a mehfil that is centred around oneness. On the night, this moment was followed by an epic concert by the human who has united an entire people with his intoxicating voice, rhythm and poetry @alisethiofficial.
@priyankachopra’s poignant words about breaking down the recently created geographical boundaries of South Asia and elucidating that we are one people and that our present stems from shared historical coexistence gave me goosebumps. As did her recitation of the names of creatives on whose shoulders we stand today.
A heartfelt thank you to @priyankachopra @mindykaling @anjula_acharia @shrutirya @malala @jazzbeezy @radhikajones @_productofculture_ @azizansari @kumailn @anitachatterbox for hosting an evening full of heart with such grace and spendor! For giving everyone in that room the freedom to move, be and belong 💃🏽🙏🏽
