Dr Kiran Bedi, my HERO

My subject today is a very serious one. Serious because, we are talking about someone as special as India's first female Police Office, Kiran Bedi, who was conferred a doctorate for her achievement and her contribution to society. Also serious because we normally bring tongue-in-cheek accounts of our experiences to you.

Global Village Unlimited, is known to align itself to quality projects. Projects that are of high value to our customers. Such projects commercially successful for all concerned. Every now and again, we get involved with projects that are not only the epitome of quality, but they speak a thousand language with their beautifully fabricated but real and powerful stories. Getting involved with a quality film made my Australian Film maker, Megan Doneman, YES, MADAM SIR, based on Dr Kiran Bedi's story is one such example.

We are proud of our alignment, as we were with bringing in FIRAAQ, the award winning film by Nandita Das, and co-written by a Indian born Kiwi writer Shuchi Kothari. Such people add a fifth dimension to our lives.

Tonight we have the pleasure of taking Megan Doneman out to dinner, and we are looking forward to finding out what makes someone from another country, make a film about a personality such as Dr Bedi, -- and spend 6 years making it! That is one big task!

Well it is a woman's world after all, as says Simi Grewal.

More tomorrow ...
