Recently
checked out 'The Friend' an amazingly
brilliant animation short film by Narayan Shi which
he made for the CFSI in association with Vaibhav
kumaresh. Narayan laments the fact that "Hardly
any original work is being done in India. I am so
surprised to see lots of talented individuals slog
it out at sweatshops, because they have no better

Well let's hope for the talent out here that it
gradually gets a chance to explore ideas. |
