Re-watched Kahaani with fellow friends and colleagues from five countries and it remains a favorite after a decade, having watched it at Bombay Talkies here. Kolkata is a character in the film especially the cha and the street corner fare. Subtitles transcend language.

Good to meet my septuagenarian grand aunt after a decade and my uncle and niece for an elaborate bong lunch in Singapore today.Transnational families are hybrid spaces as my aunt joined in on a discussion on creative writing from Bombay on a call.My uncle not in the picture, is someone i have always met overseas, the last time at Burjuman in Bur Dubai couple of years back.
