New York I Love You; The Film, Not So Much

NYC to me is a city glorified by films and music. Many directors have romanced this city on celluloid. Quite a few legendary TV series have had the city as a character by itself and not a mere location. New York.

Living a Dream

A day in the life of Shakti Salgaokar: The day that felt too good to be true. The day that was filmy.
