I close my eyes
And open my heart.
The music floats through the space
Between his inside
And mine.
His music brings me
Back to memories,
To childhood,
To the flowers I touched,
To the sunsets I kissed,
To the faces I’ve held.
The music brought me home.
In that space,
I connect with a man
I did not know but
Have...

Indian cinema, last ten years - Part 1
Its been raining incessantly for the last five days, which essentially implies house arrest. Apart from trudging with the dog to the ‘movie empire’, I have generally just spent hours on work, taxes, color correcting my film, sipping red wine and watching as much ‘Indian’ (and foreign) cinema as I possibly can.

WatchPouring everyday now. Everything is either wet or moist, rickshaws have morphed into boats, rivulets of garbage and dog-shit flow down with the rain. All I feel like doing is laze around and read, or pray for more rain. Dug out this short clip from 2005 monsoon.
I need to pull my GoPro out.

He said nothing to us for the first month. We traveled to Switzerland to play a tournament, and he started to talk and have fun. We thought it was another person. He was really good, but he was really small and...
