Dear Friends, my Ph.D will take a turn on the road to a more enriched and lively thesis, if I get through my Fulbright interview in New Delhi on September 14th. I am preparing fo the interview, trying to give it my best, given the time constraints and other important priorities.

The Fulbright will be an opportunity to work with Jigna Desai, Asst Professor, University of Minnesota, the author of the only book on South Asian diasporic film, titled “Beyond Bollywood – The Cultural Politics of South Asian Diasporic Film".

I am really grateful to Jigna Desai, for commenting on my proposal, for someone I just wrote into and who got so involved with my work at an on-line level, I can only say - if you want something badly enough, it comes your way.
