                           "And now you'll be telling stories
                            of my coming back
                            and they won't be false, and they won't be true
                            but they'll be real"
                                                Mary Oliver, A Thousand Mornings

I used to be an avid IF follower few years back, since then have moved on with the busy routine of life. Back those days, Crooner was a post that helped me being part with a lovely show and meet some amazing people.

Recently along with a close friend of mine, who was also a part of IF in those days, we have launched a new series on web.

And we felt that it felt incomplete without sharing the news with our IF friends, with whom we have had such lovely sessions and days of discussing stories and life, of friendship and incomparable masti.

This is our first effort of exploring the Web medium to tell a story we feel very close to.

It's a contemporary take on an arranged marriage love story of a working couple played by Monica Sehgal and Hitesh Malukani.

The story begins when a young Silicon Valley techie, who is back in India on an unexpected work leave shifts to stay at his new-wife's apartment, who had been preparing to join him in the US.

At this unexpected juncture begins the story that traces the awkwardness and intimacy of marriages arranged in today's ambitious millennial generation.

Our show "Starting Up" is about discovery and hope, of a generation of young India, who are wary yet confident of creating new opportunities.

I have always remembered with deep affection the lovely discussions and criticism and feedback we had on our Crooner posts -- hope to engage in some amazing times ahead -- we are "hungry, young and foolish" and looking to hear feedback to improve.

Hope to meet back from old friends and make few more new ones on this journey.

The journey or rather your journey... From beautifully crafted reviews and analysis of one of our favorite shows to directing and scripting a web series on such a huge platform... Kudos my girl πŸ‘ πŸ‘

The first thing that strikes me about the poster is the integration of the two landmarks and how they are the backdrop for your story.. 

Now coming to the promo.. Crisp, to the point and the underlying theme portrayed well. Eagerly waiting for the first episode now. 

On a side note, like the hero's voice. Quite smooth β˜ΊοΈ


And once again wishing you and your partner, another dear friend of ours, the very best for this and future ventures. Sure with your kind of talent, I'm expecting biggies and also certain " Special neighborly Superstars" getting involved too πŸ˜‰

So good to see a post from you after a long time.  I have been trolling IF for sometime now and was thinking about Crooner and our "glory days" πŸ˜‰ Imagine my surprise when I saw this.  πŸ˜†


I have seen the first look and it looks great. The concept is very interesting too.  I am looking forward to seeing your take on this subject.  And knowing who has made it,  I have no doubt about the quality of it.  I absolutely loved the first shot of the first look. Very nicely done. I am waiting to see what's in store for us. πŸ˜³

All the very best to both of you in "starting up"  this new adventure.   πŸ˜Š

P. S. I really love the lead pair.  They look very good together. Great casting choice.  πŸ˜ƒ

Love 

Ishii

Hi Priya πŸ€—

I am happy to see you open a post to share this wonderful news . I believe we don't meet people by accident , they are meant to cross paths for a reason .I am glad our paths crossed πŸ˜› 

I loved the promo , like I said , not being biased but had goosebumps thinking the product is made by two good friends who I love . Being honest not familiar with the cast but I am intrigued by the pair . The promo delivered πŸ‘

Have this piece of my heart that smiled reading your and another dear friends name on the poster . Loved the poster simple , effective and " CLASSY " 

Wishing you girls the very best πŸ€—
