Hello Nalaka,
I just want to let you know that I have been enjoying reading some of your articles, blogs and interviews (particularly the inspirational and visionary Dr Ranil Senanayake). Well done for giving so many key issues great exposure.
You are such a prolific writer and blogger! How do you find the time to do all this?
With best wishes,
Dharshani

@Dharshani,
Thanks for your kind words. Glad to hear you find my writing to be of interest.
As for how I find the time to do all the writing, the explanations are:
A. Nalaka writes even in his sleep (or maybe he never sleeps?)
B. Nalaka found a cheap cloning kit years ago and experimented with it…
C. Nalaka has access to a time warp that stretches his day into 36 hours when needed
D. Nalaka holds in captivity an army of little Elves who actually do all the work
You decide which one sounds more plausible…:)

Whatever it is you do, it’s obviously working very well! So good luck to you Nalaka. I like the sound of the time warp best. :-)
With all good wishes,
Dharshani

Dear Nalaka,
Greetings from Film Southasia!
We are now calling for entries for the ninth edition of Film Southasia ’13, the festival of Southasian documentaries. The festival will be held in Kathmandu, Nepal from 3-6 October 2013.
Film Southasia (FSA) is a biennial festival that was set up in 1997 with the goal of popularising the documentary so that it entertains, informs and changes lives. In addition to the festival that takes place in Kathmandu every two years, FSA organizes screenings, discussions and workshops across Southasia to promote Southasian non-fiction within the Subcontinent and around the world. Film Southasia believes that film is a powerful medium that helps to not only in better represent the region internationally, but also contributes immensely in introspection and initiatives to bring change at the local level.
Entry forms are available on our newly re-energized website: http://www.filmsouthasia.org/submit/
For eligibility and all other details, please visit our website http://www.filmsouthasia.org/regulations/
Submission deadline is 30 June 2013.
Please send in your film in DVD format, using a reliable courier service, to:
Film Southasia Secretariat
GPO Box: 8975 EPC 1516
Arun Thapa Chowk, Jhamsikhel
Lalitpur
Nepal
Phone: +977 1 5013501
FSA 2013 aims to be more inclusive in terms of content but also style. Please share this call for entries with friends and colleagues in your networks. Please let us know if you would like to contribute to the new FSA blog which we hope to keep active leading up to the Festival in October 2013.
We look forward to your entries and hearing from you with thoughts and suggestions, and seeing you in Kathmandu in October!
