In Memorium: Manubhai Gadhvi

I smile everytime I think of Manubhai Gadhvi, Sanjaybhai’s father.

And he’s passed away. The first person in this city who told me: ‘You are bright and you will be successfull!’ is gone. Someone calls me at 12 in the night: ‘Did you hear about Sanjay’s father?’ My smile wanes.

Update on HAPPY NEW YEAR

Update on HAPPY NEW YEAR

Last week, coinciding with my #mangalwithmayur activity on twitter and the soft launch of www.mayurpuri.com, there was also the big release of the first single #Indiawaale from HAPPY NEW YEAR.  The response has been thundering. Although I haven’t personally worked on the music of this film, I’m more excited than any of my projects because this is such a huge film.

So anyway, again coinciding with #mangalwithmayur on 9th September and with the full feature launch of www.mayurpuri.com, Team HNY is releasing the next song –  #manwalaage !

This soothing romantic ballad by Vishal-Shekhar (one of the rare songs where they have excelled in antara composition) has beautiful words by Irshad Kamil and mellifluous vocals by Shreya Ghoshal and Arijit Singh.

This is my pick of the album. It’s also Farah Ma’am’s personal favorite.

Watch this space! I’ll tell you more next week with news about the upcoming music launch!

Did you like this post? I’d be glad to have your feedback.

SOLUTION TO MUMBAI’S PARKING PROBLEM

So if a car manufacturer is selling 1000 cars in Mumbai every year, they have to create multi-level car parks for at least 100 cars in the city, every year. The car owners of that particular brand get free parking and the other brands are allowed to park with payments.  (like how we use ATM service from any bank with a service charge, but for our own bank it’s free).
