    Zarna Garg is The Cure for Many Things

    My heart is sadly left behind in India along with my beautiful big blue sun-glasses which I forgot on Air India. I’m missing family, friends, food – even the cranky black crows and their unmusical daily crescendo! I’ve come back home to the US where things have changed dramatically overnight while I was away and sleeping.

    But never fear – Zarna is there to make things right! The smart, funny Zarna has a retort and a solution for everything – I saw her at Broadway’s Town Hall where the New York Comedy Festival presented ‘Zarna Garg: Practical People Win’.  I came back smiling and positive from the encounter!  Zarna’s  standup special ‘One in a Billion’ on Amazon Prime and ‘The Zarna Garg Family Podcast’ have legions of fans and then there are the unstoppable reels on Instagram – very watchable and worthy of bingeing. 

    Just after the show, I interviewed Zarna one on one – and Aunty Zarna is just as incorrigible and unstoppable in person, with some real wisdom for the young – and the young at heart. So read my exclusive interview next month on Khabar magazine in Atlanta, where she will be performing.

    Meanwhile, to keep you going – here is a link to the interview I did with Zarna when she was starting out, a decade back.  Look at where she’s reached! That woman is a meteor!
