On Saturday, the Oh, Sophia team attended NetIP NY’s classy affair — a Scholarship Gala, on generous invitation of NetIP’s board presidents Sami Ahmed & Shobha Nikam. The Gala’s purpose was to award a grant to an NGO to forward education efforts in South Asia. In line with NetIP New York‘s mission to foster professional development in the South Asian community, NetIP also provides an amazing support system for Oh, Sophia. We met so many wonderful people at the gala, excited to hear about our project by a team of devoted young artists and technicians.

On Sunday, was NetIP’s new monthly film event, started by the organization’s film enthusiast Milan Mantri, where they screen a film and host a Q&A with the director. This month they screened Bombay Summer which had stirred excitement on the festival circuit last year. In September, they will host an event of short films from Bornila! (plus exclusive, hot-off-the-set Oh, Sophia footage…)

We couldn’t do this without organizations like NetIP that truly have it in mind to see people of their community do well. And the people involved with the organization are just simply a blast to hang out with. Oh, Sophia loves you, NetIP New York!

There must be a lot of foodies in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn! Bornila and I trekked around (again near-100 degree heat!) in Clinton Hill this past week, hitting up numerous businesses for one meal-per-restaurant contributions for the crew & cast on set, and found that not only does Clinton Hill have a wealth of amazing food spots — all wonderfully characteristic — the people have such class and many are so very generous! One restaurant is Joloff Restaurant of West African cuisine, Senegalese specialized, donating a meal to the production… Tonight they celebrate 15 years since opening with live music and a fashion show. Scrumptious food as usual. Ahh, everything we love.

Bornila and I start out our July with the completion of this beautiful website (Thank you Spencer!), a sweaty, hilarious grill-out attempt with friends on the 4th (We missed you Spencer!), meeting the peak of heat (101 fahrenheit) two days ago on a stroll through Greenwich, CT (houses with character!) for location scouting purposes (Sophia’s potential home!), finding cool at the town center Pizza Factory with wi-fi (believe!) for e-mails and a slice (or several, each) with ice cold agua.

Today is prep-day for a weekend in Atlantic City. Thousands of Bengali Indians across the U.S. gather annually to celebrate a long, amazing history, culture, family — this year on the East Coast. Bornila and I will be there to join in on great food, great events, great people, to build a network of support for Oh, Sophia extending on the film’s theme of passion, talents, faith, and family away from family. Needless to state (but I will), we’re excited!!!

Hands down, my favorite song this summer.  Here’s a sneak peak at the hot music (and hotter musicians!) involved in the film.  But be warned: it’s a catchy tune.  Before you know it, you’ll ‘go on and on and on’ humming the chorus…
