Movie and chess - an update.

Started the process of selecting the actors. One thing that we noticed today was that the children seemed pretty much excited and interested about the project. They were participating completely with us. Some of the actors we had in mind , have grown up . So they wouldnt fit into the role that we need. Looking for new kids to play the roles we need.

Last time I went I also was told that the kids are now playing chess on their own. And they are doing very well too. Saraswati told me how playing chess was helping her in her concentration for studies too.

Need to get to start the chess classes again.

Movie - Getting the children involved

The initial work with the script has been ready for some time now. And today, I went to Gurappanpalya to hand over a draft version of the script to Saraswati.

Want her and the children to read up the script and come up with a few suggestions on how to go about the movie or who could be potential actors.

On a side note -

Met Vinay - He is one of the boys who had played the theif in 'Alibaba and the forty thieves'. He is extremely sharp and fun to be with.

He seems to have some disease because of which he has white patches all over the body. Is it vitiligo( I am not sure ) .. I just googled to get a probable disease.

Hope he gets well soon.
