Karthik is right, it was during 2000 when I was in Yeshwanthpur.

Not exactly sure Karthik. Maybe it was little earlier. I was still in school.

I suppose it was in 2000 that your dad got a cell phone.

Brilliant one Nishant. You've got your heart in the right place :) I especially like the para towards the end where you describe your last 5 years! Very well written.

One of the best i have seen and heard. The girls and their mother and their grand parents look so human... Nishanth I have heard that somebody told u it is not sensitive or violates a few things.. Man they are the words worth not listening... U have captured something which the Juvenile Justice Act, Adoption Agencies, Child Right Protection Commission's, Child Welfare Committees have been trying to tell for long - Give these children a chance to lead a life full of dignity, love and promise.... Kudos to you... Keep the good work going man

Also, I am uploading the video again. This time on Vimeo. Hope the upload will be cleaner there. Once the upload is complete, will replace it here.

Hey Romal, The shaky bit could be due to Youtube itself. When you upload a video, youtube creates different versions of it. Also, I uploaded it in the morning. It will take a while before Youtube uploads get stabilized.
The faceless voice of a stunned onlooker, was an icing on the cake.

Awesome, as always... The Youtube video was a bit shaky at bits... but I guess that had to do with the editing? LOVE the faceless voice... :)

Hi Balu,
This was done on Avid's Pinnacle studio itself:) love it. Windows movie maker is a failure. It doesn't recognize many formats. Also, most Video Editing suites fail to handle DSLR video files which are in .H264 compression quicktime files.

Have you tried Windows Movie Maker and the version of Windows Movie Maker Live 2011? They are very basic but will get the job done for free.
Blender 3D can get the job done but the learning curve is really steep.
You could try home video editing software from Pinnacle and Avid. Also you know about Adobe Premier Elements right? It's a stripped down cheaper version for consumers. It'll do the job if all you need to do are edits.

Thanks Sathya for being that witness and observer of my work for all these years. Cultural and Socio-economic intricacies of our nation interest me a lot too. If you have any suggestions on business models, then please do write to me.

Good initiative Nishant. I have been a quiet observer of your work over the past few years and I must say have come a long way from those days of publishing pictures in newspapers. I am particularly interested in your development of business model and knowledge sharing. Maybe you should also note that there is tremendous interest globally to shoot in India about our emergence as as economic powerhouse, our cultural and socio-economic intricacies and hence a business avenue- consultation !
Good luck to you, will watch with interest.
