Other Stuff
Being a multi-talented, multi-faceted kinda guy, I have many more arrows in my quiver. He’s a smorgasbord of things I do other than video
Stand-Up
I’ve been doing stand-up open mics for the last 9 years, trying out my comedy and expressing my worldview in cities as diverse as Mumbai, Bangalore, Montreal and Toronto

Writing
My first ever means of expression was writing, and I’ve carried it along throughout my life, to the extent that today I can wrangle words in any genre and purpose. Here are some samples.

Blogs
Due to my abiding love for all sorts of speculative fiction – fantasy, science fiction and mythology, I used to write a blog reviewing various spec fic offerings I found in the world: films, books etc.
Cogito Sic Ergo Sum Sic
An outlet for all the random, unexplained, ether-bound explorations that pretend to be rational thought in what pretends to be my mind
Professional Writing

Scripts for Gaming Channel
I created my own gaming based Youtube channel called Gamertorium and wrote all the scripts for the various shows and videos
Scripts for Satire Channel
I created and developed my own satire and comedy Youtube channel called P.I.N.T and wrote all the scripts for every video
Acting
Being linked to Bollywood, I did manage to act in a movie. That in itself is something to be proud of, but even more memorable was the fact that I got to act with one of the greatest actors of all time, anywhere in the world: Naseeruddin Shah. The movie was a found-footage based crime thriller called Charlie Kay Chakkar Mein

Youtube Channels
I got the opportunity to create and run 2 Youtube channels of my own. One was based on my passion for gaming, and the other expressed my rather sarcastic and satirical worldview.
I wrote, directed and presented both of these channels. The gaming channel I collaborated with my brother.

My brother Satish, my friend Vaibhav and I were avid gamers back in the day (still are), and we decided to use our creative resources to create a gaming based channel, where we gave the latest news about gaming, reviewed new games and generally had a lot of fun with gaming.
I’d always been told that I was too sarcastic for my own good, so I thought I’d let the wider world in on that side of me.
This was a channel that was closest to my heart. It expressed what I thought of the world, its people and how we go about living our lives, in a manner that was irreverant, as sarcastic as I could make it. I wrote, directed and presented all the content. With a little help from a bunch of friends.
Podcast
When I moved to Canada a few years ago, I met some amazing people there. One of whom was Piyush Jain, who was a kindred soul and a man posseissing a heart of gold and a mind of quicksilver. So we started a podcast together which involved speaking with people we found interesting and wanted to know more about. The result was Baaton Ki Therapy 2 (on account of Piyush previously had a channel called Baaton Ki Therapy).
