I've been telling stories since I was 5. It's the only thing I ever wanted to do, thought I have done loads of other stuff. Call me distracted or just someone with a low boredom threshold. :)

I graduated as a chemical engineer from I.I.T Mumbai. After dabbling with advertising, journalism and event management, I worked in Mumbai's television and film industry as a writer and director.

Currently I run a creative collective – CrocTales. The company creates and works as Showrunner on web series and also does scripts for film and television. We have written shows for Alt Beqabu), Applause (Marry Me Stranger) and are creating shows for platforms like Jio, Arre, Hungama etc.

My debut novel Natasha Mehra Must Die is out in bookstores now. Someone is I've been telling stories since I was 5. It's the only thing I ever wanted to do, thought I have done loads of other stuff. Call me distracted or just someone with a low boredom threshold. :)

My debut novel Natasha Mehra Must Die is out in bookstores now. Someone is killing every girl and woman by the name of Natasha Mehra and unless the titular collegian heroine can figure who or what, she’ll be next.

I have directed films like - Money Devo Bhava, an edgy, youth movie about greed and consumerism and how it drives college kids to amoral activities and Detour, a wicked little thriller about lust, lies and cups of tea. I have also written films like Nazar, Kalyug and Buddha Mar Gaya

I have written, directed and created a variety of shows for Indian Television encompassing the genres of sitcoms, thrillers, kids shows, drama, telefilms and game shows - The Buddy Project, Sadda Haq, Kabhi Haan, Kabhi Naa, Miley Jab Hum Tum, Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin, Jabb Love Hua, Guns and Roses, Izzat Ka Falooda (Won the ITA award for best mini Series), Lucky, Antariksh, Suvreen Guggal Topper of the Year, and many more.

I have a storytelling podcast ‘The Croc’s Tales’ which is available on Apple Podcasts, Saavn, Tune-in and other platforms.

I do live, interactive storytelling at venues like Hive, Social, Lil Flea etc.

I enjoy teaching. I do courses on TV and Film Production for mass media students at MET, Bandra and KC College, Dept. of Mass Media.. I've also conducting screenwriting and filmmaking workshops at several colleges, schools and for working adults as well.

I love baking and making Sangria. I love the sea and would love to be part fish. I'm clumsy as hell and my friends call me Po the Panda, minus the Kung Fu.

Don't ask me to sing unless you want the venue evacuated. :) ...more

WAITING - A SHORT STORY

And there he lay waiting on those who were never going to come back… a beat down senior Doberman… With nothing but bones and a broken heart…

They had promised they’d be back in a couple of hours, a promise they had made so many times before and always kept. No reason for Brutus (that was the Doggy’s name) to doubt his doting masters.

And dote they did. In fact in a funny way it was Brutus who had br Read more of this blog post »
