The little pieces become the story.
Life, food, dogs, filmmaking, travel — and the ordinary moments that somehow become the stories we remember.

Why Desi Bits and Pieces exists
Not everything meaningful needs to be extraordinary.
A walk with the dogs. Making chai. Learning a new edit. A ridiculous conversation between us. A place we visit and can’t stop thinking about. Desi Bits and Pieces is where those ordinary pieces get to stay a little longer.

The people behind the pieces
Yogz, Rubz, three dogs, too many cameras, and a life made of little stories.
We’re not experts at having life figured out. We just enjoy noticing it, filming it, laughing at it and occasionally writing the longer version down.
