How can a media maker create a heartwarming bridge between strangers spanning 7,786 miles? Anish Raul did it with handwritten letters, a mobile phone video capture and hashtags on social media.

"There's something romantic about handwritten love letters in a world where everything is digital. I wanted strangers in NYC and MUMBAI to share a moment and feel this connection - even if for a moment - and thus, I created the #LoveLettersFromMumbai project. I had recently relocated to NYC, and this project brought me closer to two cities at once - especially on Valentine's Day." - Anish Raul
