A dream come true...

I regretted myself for getting it too filmy. I said "call you later idiot"and shut the mobile with a thud.

I just closed my eyes and tried to rewind everything. I felt quite disturbed of finding her again ,unknown of anything. So I decided to proceed with my script work and lifted up my laptop.

Time swayed and I realised that I've arrived to my station. Time to pack. My assistant is here for me to make my petty things effortless... But I always preferred to do my such things myself... After all, I am what I am!

I was received by my dad and some of my colleagues. After a wonderful train journey, it was obviously thrilling to meet my own people there. For some reason, I did not feel tired after a long A.C coach journey.... Maybe it was because of her... Now I must stop thinking about her and get me involved myself into my present movie works whose schedule is nearing for a third shoot. I let myself take a short brunch and I decided to work on.

I had my team of assistants to discuss things on my scripts. They were really well and good in encouraging me and out listing the erroneous parts. I enjoyed their company and I heartily wished them to succeed in their dreams too.

Present:
"I don't agree with you Kishore. You couldn't merge that dialogue in this scene. "

"This is an emotional sequence where the audience would expect a feel something close to them. We ought to fulfill their expectations ."

"But if it's not convincing, then it's an utter failure. "

"You can't do this Shiny. My suggestion was and is better than yours. Why do you want to obscure it?"

I wasn't comfortable with the commotion. Hence I turned my attention towards them. Kishore and Shiny. Two budding script writers who offered to work with me for an exposure. They had been introduced to me by Ravi sir.

I intervened their controversy.

It was a scene where the hero accepts to the heroine's proposal but only after a long thought.

"Okay dudes. So, he is keen on love only with a person whom he finds better than the rest. He is unsure of how deep is her love for him. So he says

'I'm gonna ask you something. Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and handsome?

Will you stay with me even if we fall in with disagreements with each other? Cause no matter what we are going through, our love is greater than any difficulty.

Will you accept my wrinkles and flaws when I'm seventy?

Will you love me the same way when I no longer have the ability to stay?

Love is not just a feeling, it's an action. It's a journey with our other half with full of promises and of course, loyalty.

Don't rush in choosing your partner. Beautiful things come after long patience.

I just wanna say yes only if you accept me whole-heartedly as I am'

There came a lot of applause and I could see convincing expressions in everyone's faces.

Suddenly, I felt a thought. Why should I leave her memory as it is? Why wouldn't I include it in my movie? Of course, those moments we're so precious and adorable and they deserved to get appreciated.

I included my first meet with her in the filmy sequence (with slight changes, of course!) to get the heroine introduced to the hero.

I felt somewhat guilty at a corner to have involved my personal feelings in my movie, yet I felt that somewhere Shruthi is gonna watch it and get herself remembered to me and if possible, she would come back to me. (if at all possible)

I suddenly went on to battle with my memories with Ravi sir.

'Leave a great memory because tomorrow may be your last day'. Words which dropped from Ravi sir are always encouraging. And this one in particular made me stirred to the core.

All the while I dreamt of becoming a director, I have seen many discouraging back-bloopers in my way. My parents too weren't that supportive.

Thank God that I've been under the shadow of Ravi sir since my eleventh grade as he fortunately came in contact with his childhood friend Murali-my dad during a production meet in which my dad had offered to produce a movie.

Since then, I became too close to him and yeah, I felt he enjoyed my company. He pampered me like his own being and he was the first to show some dignity to my interests. Not because he was also a director and encouraged me following the same profession, it was all because he had the right eyes which pecked with wits.

He always knew what would go right and what not. It had been over 25
years of his cini-life and he had a better understanding of people -both the audience and his colleagues. Naturally he was good at judging people's merits.

The time arrived of my revealing my passion to him for direction. After severe future-thoughts and interrogations upon my future with cinema along with my parent's interests, he concluded that I could study-work with him.

Then it all happened. I completed my degree and set upon to help my dad. Until then I had completed my script too which he accepted with a glee. He was so proud of me after my first movie and backed me up throughout my hardships. My parents too began to completely motivate me on balancing my passion and job.

I'm one of those lucky lads who gotta succeed in their passion and profession. I'm now confident with my career alongside the guidance of my parents and the incredible man of my trust, Ravi sir!
