One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If we get to know each other better, I'll tell you what excites me. :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an avid film watcher. I write regularly about cinema in various online/offline publications. I also help run a local film club. I have been involved with the Pune International Film Festival. I love talking about films, so I can do it with you if that interests you!

Pune has an impressive collection of films at the National Film Archive. Then there is also the Film and Television Institute of India. Pune also holds its annual festival of international films (PIFF). If you are a cineaste and would like to visit or show your film at the festival, I can help you with that.
