I don’t usually do festival greetings. But then, I don’t usually find Ganpati sitting in a stream by our farm. ❤️ – at Mumbai, India

A few years ago, we knew nothing about farming. Today, we’re carrying our farm’s first batch of Alphonso mangoes through airports with completely unreasonable levels of excitement. 🥭☀️ The wildly chaotic story behind them is in Two Bandra Girls Buy a Farm.
It's mango season and of course our Farm has got its first batch of alphonso! To know the crazy story behind how the mango trees ended up being in the farm, get your copy of Two Bandra Girls Buy a Farm. Now in bookstores and online.

This country has been run like a reality show since 2014. Keep people busy with stunts, slogans and spectacles while crises burn in the background. People were gasping for oxygen during Covid, the government told them to bang vessels. Now the world is staring at a dangerous US-Israel-Iran escalation and instead of preparedness or transparency, citizens are being told to use public transport and post selfies. Governance has been replaced by event management.
