For Rucha, the varan-bhat extraordinaire.
Its in marathi and she sings a song and then says " please on you birthday do not eat the lice from your loosies."
This is a bit of an inside joke that goes back.

A response



This was a response I had to something i was thinking about in my class which is currently dealing with organic farming.
With respect to that, I guess I don't know where my loyalties lie. Seems too early to make a decision even though organic is definitely healthier, it occurs to me there's more to food than just health.

Polyglot Birthdays

This is my latest project and was inspired by the need to have an innovative and personal way of wishing friends a happy birthday.
So what I do is, select a friend whose birthday is coming up and try and recall an idiosyncrasy or an obsession of some sort that can be portrayed in a video and then using my laptop webcam - poof! *video*
I'm getting better at framing and light...camera angles are a problem but im learning to use mu medium better with every try. Sound quality is also an issue.


Thats my first it was for Sindhu, my friend who is quite smitten by Turkey and Pamuk
