Saw this documentary

Dhauli meeting her brother at the fenced border, and exchanging gifts via a long stick at Milan Bazaar border

And Deepa, a bright child who aspires to be a nurse (I hope she does!)

10/10 to Samarth Mahajan and the Borderlands team

[Samarth Mahajan @Some_arth]

@BoodhuRamu Glad to know you enjoyed it!

Deepa is indeed a nurse at a hospital in Jodhpur now, and Noor is back in Bangladesh :)

[Soham सोहम سوہم @SohamShah07]

Reminds of @Some_arth's documentary filmmaking classes at SCMC. 6 hour lectures on weekends (guest faculty), but the room was always full. Students from different specialisations would even turn up.

[Samarth Mahajan @Some_arth]

@SohamShah07 Thanks for the throwback Soham :)
