Dear Barun,

At the outset allow me to congratulate you on your ennobling idea, of

leveraging the power of arts for empowerment, even as you offer your
knowledge and experience in the service of society.

Iam especially delighted, that this, dovetails with my own conviction and
experience of the power of one’s art and passion in the battle against breast
cancer.

My own tryst with breast cancer in 2008, and dancing through it further
convinces me of this inherent truth. I have since been an active and vocal
proponent, of the power of the mind that enables us to deal with any
challenge that life throws.

Yes, it is always Mind over Body! Your idea of translating this essential life
truth into a visual artistic presentation, is immensely exciting

Yes, I will be happy to come on board this wonderful project as a Mentor.

I sincerely wish and hope that the Public Engagement Fund of UK, will
generously support this extraordinary project

Best Wishes

Ananda Shankar Jayant
