Sand Castles

Whisked away to a surprise photo shoot in the desert, I found a new reason to love Dubai.

This Ship Has Sailed

Bai Bai Baby

With less than 48 hours notice, never before seen family friends took me as their own. I visited a temple, attended a Hindi comedy show, went for a night out in Bandra. But my driver Petey Pabu stole the show.
