Stranger in the Crowd

Udaipur. 240 KMs from Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

Scene 1:
Those 25 strange faces. Phsst! Wanna-be directors! I cant believe they managed to call me as a faculty!
Some are white, some are black. Some are frightened and are frightening.

Scene 2:
Its been three days now. And I must admit, they have done some pretty good work. Blaise, Rajesh, Sugandha, Pushpa and Anitha are amazing.
New talents.

Scene 3:
Im committed, but my feelings are going numb. I don’t think of her for 5-7 days straight! Boy, im gonna be punished.

Scene 4:
For last five days, I have been working till 4 AM. Tomorrow its gonna be over. My mind is confused how it changed itself in these 13 days. I like those ‘wanna-bes’ now.

Scene 5:
Screening of final film projects is going on. People are celebrating, but my heart is crying.

Scene 6 – Final Act:
Last time (in 2006), I fell in love, here, same event. But with one person.
This time I fell in love with all of them.
Gyan and Gungun have been real nice to be with. I will cherish them.

Leaving for Home tomorrow.
