  Whenever I travel abroad for work, I always release a sigh of homesickness stemming from my uncomfortableness of being away from my friends and family for an extended period of time.  I'm a creature of habit, and for someone in my business, I'm actually quite happy with regular-ass-familiarity.  As the fun with my homies in Hong Kong comes to a temporary end, I begin work again by traveling to Mumbai for some pre-production meetings and rehearsals.

   

  A tinge of wistfulness courses over my skin as I finish my phone conversation and take my seat on the plane to begin shifting my focus towards the project ahead.  As my mind drifts through different sentiments, I turn my head and was relieved when I saw that God is everywhere.

   

  

  A glimpse of heaven...

   

  

  My home-base in India and my connection to the world...

   

  On my return trip to Hong Kong, the pilot of my plane fell ill and the flight was delayed for another six hours (just about as long as it takes to fly to back to Hong Kong).  Instead of giving in to negativity, I was blessed by the making of new friends at airport to make my extra six hours in India that much more pleasant.

  Then through a mesh of transparent white appeared my home...

   

  I've been pretty silent about the project that I'm currently working on at the moment, but since information regarding this film was released at Cannes last month, the production company was kind enough to let me release a few promotional images taken during my previous trip to Mumbai.  More on this project as it develops (I have a feeling that this project will mold into something special)...

  Last but not least, I like to give a shout-out to my pops... Happy Father's Day!
