Foot in mouth syndrome I was at a wildlife reserve in Rotorua, New Zealand, with my mother when I spotted three lion cubs. Two of them seemed obsessed with my mother's dupatta and kept running around, trying to catch it. And the third one is the one I've clicked in this picture. This cub was my favourite out of the three, he was indifferent to us, lost in his own world, and busy chewing on his own foot.
The material girls I am a huge Madonna fan. I took this picture of my friends and sister Meghna in 2006 when we had gone for Madonna's concert in New York. We all were so animated on our way back after the concert. While taking the tube to my sister's apartment all of us were singing Madonna’s songs and my friend Natasha (in the white dress) decided to pose for me. On our way back, we stopped at a karaoke bar where we continued to sing Madonna’s songs.
Sister company My entire family got together on my dad, C P Reddy's, birthday two years ago. It was a rare occasion because it's normally very tough for us three sisters, Meghna, Sushma and I, to get together at one time in one place. Meghna lives in Greece. This was the time when my sisters and I forced my dad to eat sushi. Being a true blue South Indian he thoroughly hated it!
Sweet tooth! At Dream Homes, a shelter we run for destitute children, this kid is my favourite. He calls me didi, I call him Khargosh as he has the cutest set of rabbit teeth. His smile lights up my day whenever I visit him. Considering the harsh circumstances they live in, it's amazing to see the happiness that's always bubbling in Khargosh.
Peter pratter Stand-up comic Russel Peters is a friend of mine. He was in town recently for a show. At this show, Russel and I decided to get together and rag another friend of ours, Sikander Kher. Having lost a game of cards to Sikander the previous night, I was sore anyway. So I teamed up with Russell and ragged him to get my own back. It was all in good faith, and we had a lot of fun. Russel even told Sikander, "Come to my next show and it (the ragging) will get better." I don't think Sikander will attend his next show!
Truckload of enterprise On one of my trips to Pune recently, I saw this truck being loaded with logs of wood. I stopped to capture this image and later mailed it to my sister Meghna. The picture spells out the fact that some things in India never change. A truck already overloaded with heavy logs of wood was trying to accommodate people on top too. Its a wonder the tyres weren’t deflated!
Hole-hearted life At the entrance of the Tian Tan Buddha statue in Hong Kong I saw this adorable cardboard cutout kept in one corner. You have to crouch behind it and put your face in the circular area to get a picture clicked. The cutout has a placard that reads 'Live an abundant life every day' which is exactly what I believe in.
