KHWAISH-A DESIRE WINS @ 168 FILM FEST (by Sitaram Singhal & Mehul Gadani)


..this was a very unique video based on Lamentations 3.22-23 ("b/c of Lord's great love we are not consumed...great is Your faithfulness...") ...about a man who dies of "self-combustion"...which the film says is a symptom of depression...apparently people die by burning...they simply self-ignite..and nothing else around them is burned..is this an urban myth or real? not sure myself...tried to google it and got only a few hits with some discussion of it...based in India the word "khwaish" apparently means "desire to live"...in this story the young man was being oppressed by his overly strict parents...and felt loved only by his sister... I would like to know more from Sitaram or Mehul about this..based on a true story ? or what ? anyways, congrats...**The 168 film fest is named such because it allows filmmakers 168 hours (7 days) to create a film based on a provided Bible verse.**
