i think this was the
first pic ever taken of me. That's my mum's hands holding
me so i won't topple over. |
In Secunderabad, i
think.... must hav been about 4 or 5 |
My stage debut (actually,
my second performance) age about 7, 8. i'm there
somewhere in the back, strummin' me cardboard guitar...
Madras, St Mathias's school |
Detail from the pic on
the left. It was also the end of my music career. |
About 10 years old... i'd
just got a cowboy set for Christmas, with a plastic knife
where the blade goes into the handle as it meets
resistance... remember those? At Vizag, my grandparent's
house. |

In dad's old
"sharkskin" jacket, striking what i fondly
hoped was a Bond pose. Age 15. |
Hmmm. 17ish. Just
recovered from jaundice, which accounts for the absence
of avoirdupois. |
At Karasgaon. Age 18,
approx. Jaundice already in the distant past. |
About age 19, 20... in
the BARC lawns. |
No, not a confused
identity moment. In makeup for a play. i was attempting a
kinda Joel Grey take off.
It didn't.
Take off, i mean. |

One of the bearded
phases. |
In Ooty. |
In '89... just back from
Delhi, from dancing at the Asian Track & Field
opening and closing ceremonies, after a few months of
daily rehearsals. Therefore relatively streamlined. |
First time in the high
mountains. at Auli, in Uttaranchal. That's the Himalayas
in the background. China's on the other side, i'm told.
Sunburnt thing in the foreground is me. |
Feb 1998. Being dragged
up the ski slope by what is called a J-bar lift, or more
inelegantly, a bum-lift.. |

Photo by Ayesha Monani.
taken while waiting for models to show up on a shoot. |
Pained expression is
because i'm in the office. |
Delusions of grandeur. On
the steps at Balaram Palace, Palanpur, Gujarat, India |
Still at Palanpur. Still
feeling regal. Waiting for dancing girls with grapes to
show up in the courtyard. |
At Palanpur. A commoner
moment. |

As Best Man at
Prakash and Lisa's wedding. 1st May 2000. |
Upslope on the J-Bar |
With artistic
collaborator Laika. |
About to go rafting. Near
Rishikesh. |
Getting a massage from
pal Tina after a tiring day on the slopes. Only two other
things can put that goofy expression on my face. One of
them is apple pie. |
