Summary
Describing his new idea for organizing the film into three chapters, with accompanying titles; elaborating about the design, the placement, and the musical cues that could be associated with the titles on screen; expressing his dissatisfaction with the "two main transitions in the film", between a scene in Hari's home and a scene with a swami, and from the ashram scene to a scene in a car ("It seems a bit weak, visually"); asking for her opinion.
