The New Year has been good. I haven’t had a single day off \ud83d\ude42
\nJanuary started with me traveling to Shimla for a shoot. The story is that of communities – and how they understand, appreciate and prepare to beat the effects of natural hazards.<\/p>\n

Shimla lies in an earthquake prone zone. The last earthquake struck a century ago. Experts predict one any time now. Also, parts of the state face cloudbursts, landslides, floods etal. We worked with all aspects of the system – from the individual household to the state machinery with the NGO acting as a bridge, a catalyst, educators and as sensitizers . It is nice to see the system at work.<\/p>\n

I finished the documentary “Lessons that Matter” that charted post Tsunami long term rehabilitation in 3 countries. In Damniyamgama village in the Kalutura district of Sri Lanka, rehabilitation took the form of an eco-village that is built on age old traditions of living in peace with nature and the surroundings and self sufficiency. In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India – this was in the form of Swayam – a micro credit programme that sought to break the cycle of dependency that is created after a disaster. In Banda Aceh, Indonesia – the initiative came with a Tsunami Resource Centre – that resolved to train future generations to survive hazards.<\/p>\n

I will have detailed posts on each of these soon… but , i am actually running. We travel to Balasur in Orissa tomorrow to tell the story of how communities are gearing up to prepare for cyclones.<\/p>\n

And Finally,
\nJhing Chik Jhing <\/strong>– Cogito TV’s<\/a> <\/strong>first Marathi feature film is progressing through post production. We are all terribly excited about it. Saw the first cut on Sunday. It was good. it hasn’t been dubbed yet, the music isn’t on yet, the tranists are not yet done — yet it holds. Bharat Jadhav is brilliant and so is Chinmay Kambli. murmurs of Cannes have begun.<\/p>\n
