Wow! You've got it in you and you beautifully portrayed a huge part of a person's life and personality in a 10 min video . My thoughts after seeing this...

I thoroughly enjoyed how you brought out a story behind a plate of sushi. A lot of us go out to eat and most of the time we are engrossed on our own problems and many a times I have complained about how dry or pasty the wasabi came out to be. But you brought a story behind that, behind a man who cuts the fish and garnishes the sushi platter. A man who was taken aback by the concept of eating raw fish and sounds as if he doesn't even eat sushi but he prepares it for us. Day in and day out. That's a very humbling thought.

You also show the monotony that has taken over Kancha's life. While he admits Loshar is really the only time when he gets to have fun, it's poignant to see how time has flown by. Coming to a new country and experiencing new things, he's settled down to dare I say 'the comfort of everyday life.' In fact he looks forward to retiring in Nepal for a change. We are all guilty of this, whether your job is to work at a store or make sushi or write computer programs, we become comfortable with our safety net. Nothing wrong with it but that's how it is.

Lastly, your editing and sound were both great and suited the story.

Great work once again!
