The serendipitous endeavours of Girish Giri

Giri has been an accomplished writer, biographer, and documentary filmmaker, but he still values journalism above everything else.

Girish Giri is larger than life. As he sits on a sofa in a cafe permeated with the scent of fresh coffee, he animatedly recalls his experiences. His body movements flow in tandem with his vocal tones. He sits back when his stories arrive at a lull; his hand gestures add motion to his stories; his voice rises and booms during the climax of his stories. He smiles often and openly, his whole face radiating in a momentary chuckle. Everything about him—his smile, movements, gestures, and vocal tones—carry a trace of his boisterous nature.
