About emotions, reactions and new learning’s…

The last few days have brought in mixed emotions, varied reactions and most importantly new learning’s. As a friend put it very interestingly, ‘If H-e-d had worked, that would have been beginners luck’. Does that lessen the disappointment? Well, it definitely lightens things up.

It can be difficult sometimes to accept things, yet again, my experience as a film going audience clearly showed me that H-e-d did not work, as early as a day after the release at some level. I think the most important lesson that I have learnt is accepting the fact gracefully and taking the positives from it and moving on. After all, as an actor you can only do your job honestly and hope and pray the rest of it falls into place.

I did go to a few theatres across the city, just to watch the film with the audience and to my surprise at most places; people walked up during the interval or post the film to tell me what they felt. I will not lie…Appreciation of your work definitely motivates and inspires you to keep doing your best. I felt at some level they felt connected enough, to walk up and share their feedback, which alone is a huge satisfaction and this love will make sure I keep giving my best to every project hereon.

Life is certainly looking up. I have been reading scripts, meeting directors and producers and finally going on a vacation. I have also resumed doing things which I couldn’t in the last few months like going to the beach for a run, working out, dancing, reading and watching films.
I will be on a plane in a few hours and I have, ‘Love in the Time of Cholera’ to give me company. Hope it’s a good read! Thanks for all the feedback and keep it coming…
