Jayant Kripalani has acted on stage, on television and in films. He has directed films, TV shows and plays. He has written two books of stories and a book of poems. He lives for the moment and in the moment. He doesn’t take anything seriously and no one is expected to take him seriously. He expects to die like a millionaire…to go to sleep one day and not wake up.
