Aparna endures. Like a bad perfume in a crowded boardroom. Or a fart in yoga class. Or a misplaced olive in a sandwich. She also knows you saw her doing that thing she did last week. May you and she be ever bonded through secrecy, lies and deception all topped with a thin layer of ingratiating superficial affection. Hugs!

Afraid not.
TV Shows
The only time I was on the TV is when I ran into it. It didn't work. I should have ran onto it. Stoopid me.
Films
I was in a selfmade Bollywood film at the tender age of 10. It's not on IMDB. It's obscure. I prefer to keep it that way.
Albums
I have many books full of pictures. It would be vain to title and date them and share this information with disinterested voyeurs.
