  A Proud Moment at Prithvi: Witnessing a Friend Shine On Stage Life surprises you in the most beautiful ways—and sometimes, those surprises come from people you’ve known for decades. I’ve known Tejas for almost 20 years. We were college buddies, and over the years, I’ve seen his journey, his ups and downs, and most of all, his unwavering love for acting.

My wife was still snuggled under the covers, murmuring about "five more minutes," so I quietly slipped out of bed and made my way to breakfast, my heart already feeling lighter.  The breakfast buffet was nothing short of a feast! Fluffy pancakes beckoned, crispy parathas tempted, and a vibrant spread of fresh fruits and both Indian and Continental dishes lay before me. I must confess, I indulged a little more than planned, but every bite was a burst of flavor and warmth that chased away any lingering tiredness. By 9:30 AM, our little group of pilgrims gathered in the lobby, our anticipation buzzing in the air. Our luggage had been carefully divided—one set for the helicopter, adhering to s...
