Beyond Your Dreams !

Few months back I had a conversation with one of my friend...

"Hi"

"Hello, kya chal raha hai?" I got the reply

"Arey I heard that you moved around the city for some tattooing or something?"

"No no, I was searching for something else. So you getting tattoo and all, ah?"

"Ha ha.. yea I was planning to..."

"Good Yaar. You seem to be living your dream eh! Making films, travelling, getting a tattoo, cool chhe!"

"Ha ha true...very true. So do you know any tattoo parlor in the city?"

"Umm..." and the story continued...

I was wondering whether my interest in whatever I am doing will last for life time. I was doing quite a few things that interested me the most. I love to create, rather than follow on what already exists. After all, there's no fun in doing whatever someone has already done it before. You can just improvise, but the credits would still remain in the name of the person who did it first. By saying so it doesn't mean that I am someone who is  hunting for credits, but the sense of ownership comes with the things that belong to you. Some of you might disagree. As if I care.

That conversation made me realize I was doing something unusual. Unusual, yes, very unusual. How many people do you find following their dreams. And then, how many people your find living their dream. They talk about the American Dream. What is American Dream? I might not have made my presence felt on AIR. I might not have traveled every nook and corner of this world. I might not have photographed every stone on this earth. But yes, I am very much clear now what I want from my life. I am very much sure what I would do with my life. If not now, maybe later. But definitely YES. I'd do what I want to do. And what do I want to do?

FILMs is all I can think about every moment of my life. Writing a story, making a script on it. Arranging for the properties required to shoot. Conversing with the fellow film makers to enhance the screenplay. Shooting the films for which I have been craving hard. Screening them just for the audience to watch. Following up on the critics and utilizing them constructively.

And yes, photographing the emotions and the moments is a part of what I call it as a dream. That is coming true day by day. Tattoing... of course is on the list... very soon guys very soon...
