Says she, ``Pune does not provide one the opportunities like Mumbai does. So, every week, when I have an off on Thursday, I visit my friend's house where we both take turns rehearsing roles. She asks me to enact a character from films or TV or just an emotion maybe anger, love, depression and so on.

I do that and then she enacts what I ask her to. It's great fun really. To be able to live another person's life can be very exciting even if it is momentary.'' Her other passions are sandesh _that not so sweet and yet delectable Bengali dish. ` `I just must have sandesh every now and then. When the urge hits me I go to Karachi Sweet Mart and eat to my heart's content.''Crisp white saris also top the list of her passions. ``I don't wear them so often but even the sight of a white starched cotton sari is so refreshing. I simply love it.''
