Speaking Streets...

This children's day was special and memorable.This day was spent with three of my friends,working on our First Documentary-'Speaking Streets',a short docu on the lives of street children and their daily tryst with the world around them.Our tagline is:There is happiness and innocence in their strives but there are unanswered questions in their lives.....

Basically tells the story of Arun the ragpicker,Golu and Saagar,the boot polishers and Shanu,Ningru,Tanjali the beggars.We show their work and their innocence and talk to them candidly about everything they do.

Their is a different situation to each.While Shanu seems to be very intelligent and willing to study,noones sure whether she'l get the right encouragement and opportunity.

Golu and Saagar,two grown up kids dream of and idolise bollywood heroes,have fun everyday outside Dilli Haat where they work.But their future is a Big Question mark!Arun the young ragpicker boy came to Delhi just a month ago from his village in Bijnaur,where he used to go to school.He says he will return there next year but god only knows where life would take him.

All these protagonists of our documentary point towards a larger picture of lives of millions of underprivileged street children.How they are spending their life without the basic neccessities,benefits and rights that each one of us deserves.

We finally finished the editting work yesterday,by the way we have done that independently with help just with regard to few technical aspects of the software.And it was just an amazing and fulfilling experience.We have also sent it as our entry for IIMC fest.Lets see how the audience receives it.......
