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!

Influences
Snoopy, Grover, Gonzo, most muppets, Home Movies AND Home Alone, the cute aesthetic (laughing babies, confused kittens, etc.), old ladies who don’t give a flip, catty teenagers, dreamboats, flamboyence in all forms, bouncers from Bah-stan who like to pahty hahdkor, inanimate blobjects, bread pudding, a little speck of the human experience.
Also, TV shows make many appearances in my living room. Oh, it doesn’t work the other way around? Well, rats.
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.
Other work TBD.
Albums
I have many books full of family and friend photos (also some still-life samples). It would be vain to title and date them, and share this information with disinterested voyeurs.

also thank you, ladies and gentleman of the press (always good with the backhands, oochie):
To be nobody-but-yourself—in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else—means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~e.e. cummings
Doooo it! I could totally see you rockin them! Yes, Mariya and I are both quite sickly! I just can't shake this flu off, yo! Luckily, I wasn't sick during the past 2 shows, it had somehow magically subsided for a few days tricking me into thinking I was getting better, only to come back in full force and kick my ass! I was really sick last Tuesday and missed your gig tho, I sowwies :( I'm already feeling a little better today... so I'm making a comeback :)
why thank you! it was wuverly meeting you as well! As for the arm warmers, I need to pick up another pair since I just gave them away to my best friend, she loved them so much! They sell them at Rugged Warehouse f.y.i ;)
Come back to our show anytime! I'm sorry I missed your gig last night, I was at home with the flu :( but next time, I am so there! cheers!
Why do a bringer show for a six-minute set when you can record your very own 1/2 or 1 hour standup comedy CD in a popular comedy theater right here in Hollywood.
We set up the stage, sound, lighting, audio and video recording and the theater. All you have to do is show up and dazzle your friends with your act.
A comedy CD will pay for itself the weekend of your first road gig selling them. People want to take a piece of home after shows. Give them what they want and grow your fanbase, make money and have fun while doing it.
