Many actors took online classes and honed their skills during the lockdown. Did you try out something new?
I always wanted to go to New York Film Academy to learn acting but since I have always been a working actress, I never really got the chance to do that. In the lockdown, I got the time and a beautiful chance to enroll myself in an online class at the NYFA. It felt great to be able to fulfill the dream of learning acting and honing my skills.

STAYING AWAKE WITH NO SLEEP!
Love gin? Who doesn’t, right? Well, think of the lovely, crisp Greater Than gin and add your other favourite brew, coffee from Sleepy Owl to it and what you have is a combination that just won’t let you sleep! But guess what, No Sleep is a gin that is worth staying awake for. Available as a limited edition release, this gin contains no sugar, coffee extracts or artificial flavours. The cold brew is made using 100 per cent Arabica coffee from Chikmaglur, Karnataka and added to the gin. The result is a burst of flavours with the taste of red cherries, followed by salted caramel and finishing with hints of delicately-spiced pink peppercorn. Anand Virmani, co-founder and distiller at Nao Spirits shares his thoughts on this cool collaboration.
