Got married to my habibi at 40 (because it never occurred to me not to)
Welcomed our glorious twin girls at 45 (because we have the technological advancements to assist a cancer survivor having children)
First book published at 46 (because it’s been my dream to be a published writer since I was a kid – and because telling your own story is essential)
Co-founded an art tech platform at 50 (because I love art and now we have the disruptive tech to re-imagine how art is shared, bought and enjoyed)
Lived in 5 diverse cities post marriage across Asia (because why would you remain in one place if you have the opportunity to experience more?)
Healed and learned to cherish and prioritise health, spiritual growth and happiness above everything (because this process is lifelong)
Worked on a hit OTT show, playing a super fun, unconventional character at 49, that suddenly made me hot with Gen Z 😂 (only after the producer-friend pinned me down with the promise of a female led set)
Learned tennis at 42 (because, why not?)
This after getting diagnosed with cancer at 37. (Blessings come in many disguises)
…..
This particular chapter comes post a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma – a blood cancer – and a thriving career in front of the camera that while it afforded a level of fame and independence, nearly killed me. I happily leave the fame game to those more constitutionally suited. The business of entertainment is not aligned with my values and inner life.
But it has given me a platform to say:
Society’s rules? WHAT RULES?
If it has never occurred to live on your own terms, WHY NOT?

Third year anniversary of launching #Closetothebone
A caravan of appearances across India ensued. Marvelling at the diversity of audiences we reached. Very grateful that my words continue to be read, and shared.
And of course thank you @dipikablacklist for styling. And @harpercollinsin for all the support.
Next book is in process.

How does ‘it’ know???
This is spooky. Was speaking yesterday to a friend who is currently in Rome. This morning, the algo threw this image of a perfect artichoke from a trip to Roma 8 years ago across my screen. This is messing with my serendipity radar.
What is real? What is manipulated? Well, if I was in Piazza Navona, I’m sure I would be told to enjoy this exquisite specimen in front of me and quit bothering about everything else. Finish off with espresso and enjoy the day.
Anyhow, everyone should be alerted to the pleasures of enjoying the humble, immature flowerbud of a thistle, splendidly prepared- see my post from almost a decade ago 👇🏼
‘Towering over the variety of delightful fried foods in Roma is the Carciofi all Giudea or ‘Jewish Style fried artichokes’. Simple yet sensational. A perfect specimen prepared at TreScalini.’
Don’t share, don’t share…

Can you see the hand and artistry passed down through generations behind these gorgeous calligraphic works by artist @shah.abdullah.alamee ? I love the collision between material, legacy artistic expression, craft and the possibilities presented by the digital world.
Digitising traditional arts and securing them on the blockchain is an entirely new, pioneering path and the curated, art platform I’m proud to have co-founded is here for it.

One day to go, our new exhibition goes live tomorrow!
‘Chimera of Proximity’ curated by Nalina Gopal (@specialistsatantati) brings together five diasporic artists of Indian origin.
Currently based in and emerging from the visual art landscape of Southeast Asia, these artists speak from a place of multiplicity.
They embody the concept of the diaspora as a mode of cultural production–reconstructing and reproducing sociocultural phenomena in relation to their experiences.
The featured artists are:
Alpana Vij (@alpanavij)
P Gnana (@gnani.arts)
Sukeshi Sondhi (@@sukeshisondhi)
Sunaina Bhalla (@bhalla.sunaina)
Vimal Kumar (@vamsidhari.art)
Be sure to check it out tomorrow at @theupsidespace!
