Thrilled to be part of this meeting of the minds Kala Ghoda Arts Fest on Jan 27th in #Mumbai Thanks to Penguin India and the KGAF team for making it happen.

Watched 'Kathal - A Jackfruit Mystery' @Netflix last night.

'Two exotic-breed jackfruit go missing from a tree in the garden of a politician's house in a small town. Police inspector Mahima Basor Sanya Malhotra is assigned to the case.' Nuff said😆

Loved it Yashowardhan Mishra👏
