Things I do on the Side

a) Advise (and may eventually work for) a public cord blood bank to be set up in Pondicherry, India

b) Finish editing my short film

c) Work on 2 other scripts as assistant director with Sri Lankan directors (one based in Paris, and one based in Sri Lanka)

d) Act as manager to a leading Sri Lankan actress and represent her to agencies in the U.S. and abroad

e) Advise and fundraise for a Tamil NGO in Sri Lanka (who I might also eventually work for)

f) Organize Sri Lankan events here in NY (a new fundraiser and a new panel coming up)

g) Help set up an NGO in Bombay that's focused on collating documentaries

And in addition to this, there's work, friends, the personal life, the gym and doctors.

Why does it always get this busy?

was just thinking of you today. I can see that u are spinning furiously from an axis, that i think is actually your heart, non stop. i have so much respect in that u keep carrying on.

read something i liked in a book called Celebrating Silence. i thought of you for two reasons. am sure you can guess both. hope u like it. its the 3rd time i am reading it. and i think i am finally understanding it.

"Maya

When something is unbelievably beautiful or joyful, you wonder if it is a dream, often what you perceive as reality is not joyful so when misery is there, you never wonder if it is a dream. You are sure it is real. This is knowing the real as unreal and unreal as real.

Infact, all the miseries are unreal. A wise man knows that happiness is real, as it is your very nature.

Unhappiness is unreal because it is inflicted by memory. when you see everything as a dream, then you abide in your true nature.

A nightmare is a dream mistaken for reality. There is no confusion in a dream at all. Keep wondering whether all this is a dream and you will wake up to the real."
