From a banal life to an ecstatic one here I am rejoicing each and every moment. Finally Im there... The epitome of achievement calms me and the whole moment just seems too good to be true.
(( FLASHBACK))
"Mom I'll be fine, Trust me! dont get paranoid."
Delhi 2010- Where every autowala, dukaan wala, dudh wala, newspaper wala, was bhaiya for me. Reckless drivers created havoc in my life everytime I wanted to cross the road. Use of profanity by every Delhite was no more a revelation and condone, it was added to the Hindi dictionary. Hogging chinese only from a chinese van wala had become a daily routine and it still is. Going clubbing to Urban Pind and watching people make a mockery out of themselves added humour to the convention at the club. Chicken Pasta at Mochas had become a weekend vibe.
Barring all this, the whole focus point of building a career seemed lost in a plethora of such events. It was a task to get myself back on track and figure out once again my main motive of landing in Delhi from Dubai, leaving behind a plush life and plunging into one with so many apprehensions. Life was a question paper, so many questions with either no answers or ones that were vague.
"Mumma work is fine, lot of projects , im deprived of sleep!! "YAWN"
3 AM January Winters- sipping hot chai at the dhaba, taking a break from hectic documentary making at office, having a gala half an hour break with friends, moments that we wish would never end, moments that would pause and just keep playing again and again and again. But work was always a priority.
Enjoying simplicity. Goodbye clubbing, okhla ka dhaba gives me more pleasure now! Audible voices of best friends, cosying up in our respective jackets, biting cold, shivering away to glory yet everyone had something to say.
What more better than sitting appeasingly and enjoying the moment rather than losing it all on a dance floor.
"Mom! Im not too sure if I will get one"
Anxiety, Frustration, anger, disappointment, can I CONQUER all these? It was a feeling I would never had imagined to take over my set of emotions so strongly. Work was no more work, Work was throwing a competition at me, catch me if you can! SO there I was chasing it vigourously. At times falling, panting, losing hope but then getting back on track and this time chasing it faster.
"Gotcha"
"Mom I finally got one" Im proud of myself!
So dear work, the chase is over and here I am standing proudly in par with you and waiting for another challenge from your end.
"Delhi- My City, My life"...
Welcome Work :P
Until then
Adios
