The art of aging . . . As long as you have lived a passionately honest life and you can reflect back and smile, it’s all good. Aging is beautiful!
Dimple and I . . . at ‘Sitara’, our favourite haunt in Manali.
My fascination for rural Punjab . . . When I was a small girl I’d say, once I have a house of my own, I will live ‘outside’ of it!
Discovered this little gem of a place in Hamta, truly a get away – where one can spend a quiet time with oneself, contemplating on the ways of the world . . . 😌
Back in my bageecha after a long days work.
Happy to be back in my nest at Studio Barshai . . . A few days of uncluttered evenings, and then I intend getting into the working of my next book. But for now, it will be a four day shoot in Narkanda before I can wind back to my little writing den here. This photograph is from the fifteenth year of my life when I visited the valley. I’ve written a lot about the Kullu Holidays in my book ‘A Country Called Childhood’, and haven’t yet lost my heart for the mountains.
Last evening was at Kothi, a magical darkening of the sky as it started to drizzle. I thought of capturing the moment with my camera but then decided to let it be, and just walked along . . .

So happy to be back in Naggar at my favourite place in the valley @baragarh_resort_spa
Look at this beauty!
With my daughter Disha @jhadisha attending the premiere of ‘Heera Mandi’ last night. What a spectacular night! Look forward to seeing the entire eight episodes on May 1st. Sari by @raw_mango
What a gift! Ranjan Rai of Himchitra Studio in Manali brought this lovely portrait of me taken by his father in 1979. Brings back such endearing memories of old times . . . When I’d just come back to India from New York to join films. 🥰
Was wonderful to have visitors from the Roerich museum in Naggar! It was a most enriching time talking about art and the lovely connect I have with the Russian master through my father. An endearing afternoon I must say!
