This dramatic short by Woodstock alum Rahul Gandotra – shot in and around Woodstock School in the Indian Himalayas – was recently shortlisted for the Oscars.
You can now watch it online or buy it on DVD.

Map of Landour, Mussoorie, India
This is a scan of a paper map I have in storage somewhere (I hope – I need to do a better scan if I can find it again), showing part of Landour and Mussoorie, where Woodstock School is located. Click to enlarge the picture, and you’ll see that many of the homes have names, dating back to the British founders of the town who built them, usually as holiday getaways from the heat of the Indian plains. Walter Scott was popular in those days, so names were often taken from his books (which seems odd in modern India, but lends an air of quaint antiquity).
Thirty Years On
Thirty Years On from jeet singh on Vimeo.
My classmate Jeet (musician and entrepreneur) wrote this song for the 30th anniversary of our class’ graduation from Woodstock School. If you ever want to understand who I am and what I’m about, start with this.
Now that I notice, most of the photos in this are from my Woodstock collection.
Woodstock 150th: Full Gallery
The full gallery of photos from the Woodstock School 150th celebration held in October, 2004. (Probably too full and in need of cleanup, in fact…)
Woodstock School Memories: The Student Survival Kit
This was the first manual/user guide I ever wrote, a student handbook for Woodstock School, incorporating the school’s rules and policies, survival tips, a fill-in class schedule and diary pages. I wanted to make the rules easier to understand, and more accessible, by applying simpler, clearer language and a sense of humor. Apparently it worked. I heard from students who worked on revisions 20+ years later that my style was still the template for student handbooks at Woodstock.
Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out how to get the pages in order in this gallery.
The cartoon illustrations are mostly by my classmate, Jeet Singh.
