Back in July when I reached out to @PySamarth lamenting my zero longform experience but the desire to work on one, he put his faith in me. with his guidance & more than thorough editing, we attempt to understand what's wrong in Bollywood. @theplankmag https://t.co/cqnFMyY3ee

Looking to speak to Indians who are in their 20s and are facing premature greying (visible significantly, not a strand or two) but choose not to dye it, and flaunt it instead. If this is you or you know someone, comment or dm. Urgent. For a story.

[Takshi Mehta @TakshiMehta]

what's the best way to reach you @gautambhatia88? this is for a story I am working on.

I am working on a story about film certification and censorship, and would love to speak with entertainment lawyers, especially if you specialise in film certification, as well as film scholars. please get in touch asap if this is you, and spread the word around.

Seems like nature wants Gill to play and captain a T20I while the current T20 captain is in the play XI. Fun stuff.

[Takshi Mehta @TakshiMehta]

Redoing toss at the Qualifier 2? Is this for real? Right on Gill's part to be pissed.

Source Call: I'm looking to speak with men who:

Have experienced recovery modalities such as cryotherapy or red-light therapy.

Regularly & consciously incorporate recovery practices - including cryotherapy, red-light therapy, ice baths, infrared saunas, or similar therapies.

Bads of Bollywood seems to be many things but so far the word is ballsy.

Test cricket is beautiful. Like life in this sport & in this format, no one has a monopoly on the good days, because the tide always turns for those who endure. If life is a survival of the fittest then test cricket is its slow, merciless exam.

Chris Woakes, 36. Played all 5 Tests. Came in at No. 11 with a sling, ready to bat left-handed if needed. Winced just running. This effortless coexistence of bravado and vulnerability—that’s the magic of sport. Where humans become heroes, and heroes stay human.

Siraj. Thats it. Relentlessly brilliant.

"When children are being starved by Israel, the enemy is Israel."

This hunger hasn't descended from the sky, this enemy has a name.

[Takshi Mehta @TakshiMehta]

have you lost appetite, the will to eat after a break up? have your eating habits changed post heartbreak? if yes, slide into my DMs? this is for a story. let's have a fun chat.

[Takshi Mehta @TakshiMehta]

Theatres have always been a special space, & today with streaming as they struggle to find their footing, I write a love-letter to them, because they give us something that OTT never can, the ability to feel the world at full brightness. For Vogue India.

Looking for Indian stylists, creators, or fashion nerds remixing bootlegs into art.
Think: fake Louis Vuitton vests with kurtas, Gucci x Gandhi tees, Canal Street couture.
If you’re mixing counterfeit with thrift as a flex, as irony, or as satire—DM me. Working on a story!

The way films are consumed today, the empty halls & just a breath of nostalgia with the re-releasing films and missing the joy of watching films on big screen as a magical experience which was re-lived during the price slashes on cinema days :@TakshiMehta https://t.co/1rkrZH1ubw

For a few weeks every summer, the Indian Premier League transforms the nation into a battleground where tears are shed and loyalty means everything, writes @TakshiMehta

@NakuulMehta @TheHindu Thank you Nakuul, appreciate it!

[Takshi Mehta @TakshiMehta]

Before I share this cover story for @TheHindu, a pause: a day after it went to print, 11 people died in a stampede outside Chinnaswamy. This piece celebrates fandom—but also reminds us of its darker side. When devotion isn’t met with care, it can turn deadly. (1/2)
