Piyush Mishra: An artiste should never wait for work to come but create his own
Piyush Mishra: An artiste should never wait for work to come but create his own
MUMBAI: Veteran actor Piyush Mishra is known for delivering excellence in everything that he does, be it writing songs like ‘Arre Ruk Ja Re Bandeh’, acting in films like ‘Maqbool’, ‘Tere Bin Laden’, ‘Rockstar’, ‘Tamasha’ or doing theatre and live performances extensively.
Mishra says for an artiste if he or she wishes to grow in an uncompromised manner, should create work for themselves instead…

Happy Secret Samol @handbasketofdreams !
So I did go a little bit weird with this years gift.... I did do art! But I also recorded a.... fan episode? Of Americas Playground! It's 1.5h of me alone playing mall kids and recording myself doing voices in a little fan adventure! I'm no professional podcaster (as you can hear), but sometimes you have an idea but don't have time for a 20 page comic and you are not a fic writer, so you gotta do what you gotta do!
You can listen to it here!
The kids are back at the pier- for the Christmas market! And this time it's no air baloon, it's a carousel! Or it would be, if not all the carousel horses had been stolen.... and now there's a mall detective sneaking around, messing up all kind of things.... Eluise, Melinda, Cattie, Sank and Pomp (and the immortal doll and Princeton of course) have to find the horses so they can have a peacful Christmas!
And if you don't want to listen, here are some sketches!
All the music is from Freesound.org!

My next novel is The Bezzle, a high-tech ice-cold revenge thriller starring Marty Hench, a two-fisted forensic accountant, as he takes on the sleaziest scams of the first two decades of the 2000s, from hamburger-themed Ponzis to the unbelievably sleazy and evil prison-tech industry:
