Ladies and Gentlemen,
Soon to hit airwaves all across India and Pakistan…
Also check out the 30-second version of our Public Service Announcement.
These were enthusiastically created by Black Magic Motion Pictures at cost, led by the ever-kind and ever-talented Baudhayan, a.k.a. “Buddy.”
I have things to say before I check off of this planet. In many ways, I was hoping to say these things and be done with them during the period that this Indian adventure was unfolding. It’s not looking like I will have the chance to say everything however, so this blog will likely have to continue.
Happiness, :) John
Sweet Luna has moved on. We will miss her much. She brought so much to our lives and the loss is a huge one. The day Love told me was hard. I came back that night to where I was staying and from the roof, we saw a full moon with a striking ring of haze around it. Mark P. immediately called out “Luna!”
She was one loved kitty.
I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve updated this blog. It’s certainly not from any lack of material. :) We have spent every day now for a long while in constant sprint-to-the-finishline mode.
On January 16th, we pulled off something miraculous. With time very much not on our side, we hosted the creation of the “World’s Largest Love Letter” in M. Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium in Bangalore, written from the kids of India to the children of Pakistan. It was a fantastic event, with 500 kids in attendance and kids literally painting the letter on site. It brought a huge amount of attention to our efforts and to the overwhelming goodness that is pouring out of these kids. It was even televised live to over 200 million viewers. Definitely read more about this letter.
Though some things have come pretty easy, many things have not and we are blessed to have a team of truly heroic people that keep making the nearly impossible just barely happen.
From Bangalore the letter is now travelling up to Mumbai, where it will soon be featured at another grand event at Wankhede Cricket Stadium, after undergoing some more artistic embellishment.
Please stay tuned. I’m holding back. This story is getting wilder and wilder all the time.
