It's playful, energetic, positive and entertaining. It represents 5 elements of which a human is made- Earth, Water, Wind, Fire and Ether. The 5th element 'the ether - depicted by a Mini Daler Mehndi' was shot but somehow could not get incorporated in the final video. I have done very limited work through out my career and most of them have created history. It is very humbling and very inspiring.`
