HIDING DIVYA screened (my debut feature film as writer and director) at the Wang Center, Stonybrook University, on Nov 17th!  The Wang Center is absolutely beautiful, and the Jasmine eatery had some of the best samosas ever.  Some of the students were doing a compare and contrast essay between HIDING DIVYA and THE NAMESAKE.  I took a look at the guide questions, and was pretty impressed.

And can I just say, I had a total geek out moment when I found out that the Physics department at Stonybrook was founded and run by Professor Yang and I replied, oh as in the Yang & Mills scientist who wrote up the initial paper on inconsistencies in electro-weak relations?  When the reply was a surprised yes, I actually yelled out, "OH MY GOD, I KNOW PHYSICS!"

I probably could have played that better.
