Some Video
In keeping with the almost non-existent state of my professional records and archives, I have no idea what became of the first moving picture I was ever involved with, in the late 1970s. All I know is that 2 scenes of the film saw me play an extra alongside the Rani of Jhansi.
Many years later, I appeared onscreen again as the anchor of several episodes of a Doordarshan documentary series on the Himalaya that are reportedly still sometimes re-telecast nationally across India, on LSTV. I also served variously as a photographer on several large productions.
Since then, riding on the back of the still-burgeoning video revolution that is increasingly seeing millions of people all over the world each get their shot at 15 minutes of fame, I have obviously appeared on screens variously.
At the same time, I have obviously also served variously on video productions and/or post-production, off-screen.
The videos below, however, are limited to just a few that I have personally produced; plus one television interview of me, a presentation on music I once delivered, and two random off-the-cuff personal video works.
