Confessions of a Swiss Watch Dealer

“Many watches costing Rs 20 lakh or more are bought on behalf of other people. These include lawyers and politicians”

Confessions of a Rave-Party-Goer

“Some people were drinking alcohol, others were on chemical drugs. But not everyone was on drugs, as is widely believed of raves”

Confessions of a Poacher

“Every year, some new fad surfaces. It is believed that worshipping sand boas, which appear to have heads at both ends, multiplies wealth”

Confessions of a Leopard Researcher

Confessions of a railway officer during the Bangalore exodus

“At that point, we had no inkling that it was Northeasterners who were fleeing Bangalore. The central station was packed”

Confessions of a child rag picker

Confessions of a Human Rights Activist

“I started rigorous documentation of human rights violations... In the last 22 years, not a single accused has been punished”

Confessions of a Kleptomaniac

“I don’t mind stealing. It’s adventurous. I have picked up apparel from Adidas and Wills Lifestyle and walked out without being noticed”

Confessions of a Drug Peddler

“I was young, eager to make money, and willing to take risks. How else could two unemployed college students make Rs 6,000 a week?”

Confessions of a Personal Shopper

“My job is to source what is right for them. I am not the guy who trails behind people, holding five shopping bags in each hand”
