Foreword to 'the Green Box of Sarayu' by the Boy

Sarayu's story has been told through her blog and related video illustrations which are linked to it.
The video illustrations are like emotionally driven representations of Sarayu's recollection at the time. They help understand her story and her better. They have been associated with entries made by Sarayu at different points in time.
The form of the film about her is in different styles and using different music she listens to and essentially trying to represent her character through the form. From the drama and fantasy to hap hazard and magical. Also a little crazy : ) but she's the sweetest.

The Green Box is one of many boxes which Sarayu owns, full of several little things collected over time. It has many memory related objects such as ticket stubs (flight, bus, movie, amusement park), photographs, jewelerry and other little things.
She said they take her back to memories of certain times in her life which are associated with those objects.

The Green Box of Sarayu intends to help you read Sarayu's story through her perspective incorporating her character and personality.
The selected box, though it contains conflict and struggles for her, is about her overcoming them and growing into a new person stronger than before.

I've written and illustrated a little book about the making of the film. It's called "Oh Well - the Sarayu process book".

The meaning of 'Sarayu' is to blow or flow like wind or water. It is also a river which flows around legendary town of Ayodhya.
