my ode to spielberg & healthy food in school

I survived production with a dozen 7-year old children to pull this off--no small victory. I was astounded to learn what kids are really eating in school & that 1 in 3 U.S. children will develop diabetes. Children having access to healthy food in school is one of the most vital social justice issues of this decade. Take Action at onetray.org

Clean Water Innovation

TEDIndia at 2am

After three days of inspiration, insomnia, and something like speed dating of innovative ideas, it was close to two in the morning and I was stumbling my way home after the closing night party. On the steps of my dormitory, I found a circle of wayward travelers, attempting karaoke with no karaoke machine. A mishmash of languages, people grouped together to muster the Hindi words to Chole Ki Piche Kya Hai, the Punjabi’s attempted to cover up the missing verses with bhangra, and the Americans retorted with a bittersweet Lean on Me.

TEDIndia highlights

TED was nerd bliss. A landscape of stories of technology, innovation, and hope.

I pride myself on being a tech geek. And Pranav Mistry is the king of tech geeks. An inventor of new realities, Pranav’s work inspired me to see the world in a new way. My passion for science fiction, for imagining the near future, is fueled by a hope of creating worlds in cinema that reflect and transcend disparity in access to technology, ecology, and social equality. The prototype Pranav developed is ground-breaking work in erasing the line between live reality and cyberspace. And I was awed in his intention to open-source the technology.
