The year taught me a lot. I think I have grown the most in this span of past ten months. I started to account for the year so early because it has been one of the most eventful years of my life. I want to start making a list right away so that I don’t miss out on any of the lessons I learnt.
In no way am I suggesting that I am done for the year as far as events go. The next 2 months I am sure will live up to the expectations of family and friends who ALWAYS call my life a mixture of MB novels and Ekta Kapoor serials.
Getting back to the lessons I learnt from 2006:
Oprah gave me the best lesson on one of her shows--- YOU WOULD HAVE DONE BETTER HAD YOU KNOWN BETTER
Her pearl of wisdom was also--- LUCK IS PREPARATION MEETING OPPORTUNITY
I learned work is difficult.
I love doing difficult things. Nothing challenges, stimulates and excites me more.
I should be a little more patient while judging people.
My instincts work.
I generally manage to get what I wish for. I had truly wished for a teacher who could change my life in a way I most needed. I got Sabiha Ma’am. She showed so much faith in me without ever and I mean ever praising me :). Without a word she made me feel worthy of her just by the gesture of taking me with her on the documentary shoot as an AD. That said a lot!
I have to be a Sabiha ma’am for a deserving person one day!
There are a 1000 and more books that I have to read.
People at the grass-root level are so pure. Their love for us, the crew members was overwhelming.
Being revered just for your surname, something you inherited because of your birth is a humbling experience.
I learned it is still a MAN’S WORLD. But I am capable of taking small steps towards making a difference in the situation.
I can be adventurous when I want to be.
I love the grind of traveling.
I am deeply passionate about learning more about film-making.
There are as many valid viewpoints as there are people. I can have my views. But I should not be sad/mad at others when they do not agree with me!
India is a vast nation. I understood for the first time what diversity and vastness mean in real terms.
India is beautiful.
Indians are very very nice people.
India is beautiful.
Indians are very very nice people.
After finishing the documentary, I got a lot of time to spend with Gurneet n the gang that includes Ashish, Vaneet, Angad and Harpreet! Even Garima n I hung out a lot.
I love my friends! Nothing new in that. No big secret. Ha ha ha ha!!!
Friends are truly a part of the cosmic family.
Watching films is fun.
I would want these days that I have lived on celluloid one day.
Friendship does not understand international boundaries. Barbara from Germany became a friend in matter of hours.
Never encourage 2 friends to go around. Not even as a joke. BAD IDEA!
KANCHAN, GARIMA, GURNEET, VARUN AND RAHUL are no more my friends. They are beyond defined relations. A new term has to be coined to explain what they mean to me. A part of my life for ever more. I am so sure!
Art of Living classes which we pushed into joining by Vaneet proved just the thing I needed!
I love interacting with strangers. Gives a nice break!
Opposing values are complementary to each other.
Accept people and situations as they are.
Don’t be a football for other people’s opinion.
Present moment is inevitable.
Don’t find intentions in other people’s mistakes.
LET GO!
My 23rd birthday! Phew! I really grew up in matter of a day. Really!
My family and friends are themselves guilty of the charge they always charge me with---- they are very FILMY! Ha hahhhaahhahah!
Surprise birthday parties are a lot of fun!
I am loved by my family and friends too much to the extent of being spoiled by them! I am not complaining. Bring it on :)
I love the attention and the FLOWERS AND THE GIFTS AND THE CAKES, PHONE CALLS AT MID-NIGHT ALL OF IT
Birthdays are supposed to be fun! This was one birthday I enjoyed thoroughly from the word go!
To be continued… u’ll be reading lot more! Hehehe…
