this is my final diploma shoot which i chose to shoot in a little village called mukungarh..my ancestral place and a place thats gettin lost...taking along with it my history and identity...I started out by comin here on my own with mum and looking around..the initial recce in the freezing winter...and the light breeze of spring..now finally here in the scorching heat of this summer to shoot this film..
mukungarh is a small village in the northern region of rajasthan..three hours from jaipur it belongs to the shekhawati region of marwar!...this time ive come here with a part of my crazy crew... there's a sound guy and we call him abhinav... the brain i call milann and myself...and the most important production person here...my mum and the cook..krishnaji!!.. :D...we're stayin in my aunt's haveli here...the rooms are ancient and the stone is rustic..the place is tucked away in time and yet moving towards rapid modernization..
CHANGE... being the crux of my shoot...stories of the past and the realities of today...all in one architectural wonder of stone, morals, customs and memories...
the place moves me and even the heat doesnt tempt me to leave...this feeling of belonging here even though i have never been here has immense power and it's here to stay...
some pics coming up here soon...for more insight check out http://milann.blogspot.com/
