Mr. D

Bijoy, my brother, and me decided to do a documentary on legendary architect Balkrishna Doshi. So we set out on a mission expecting to get only an hour or so with him. We packed our bags, bought lots of DV tapes, arranged (last minute) professional recording equipment and went on a trip to Ahmedabad. Such a lovely city, such an amazing energy. And. What genuine people. A giving society, really. In Ahmedabad, we were meant to meet Mr. Doshi at 10am on Monday. What a great man. We shot loads of great footage in his globally respected and appreciated office "Sangath". What was to come was truly magic and God's grace. Over the whole of Monday and Tuesday he came with us to visit his best works in the city and we managed to record, what would become for me, life-changing footage. Truly transforming. Very spiritual. I have no words to explain. Let the film speak for itself. x
