These are exciting times

I woke up at 8 in the library, and checked my mail sleepy eyed. It was one of the most beautiful mails I had ever read. It was from PFC, they had invited me to become an author on their site. I was ecstatic. It meant I would be sharing space with people like Anurag Kashyap,Sudhir Mishra,Kundan Shah,Revathy, and hosts of other film makers and film journalists whose works I have only admired from a distance. I was contributing articles through their Project-I-View and it was absolutely wonderful to interact with some of the most passionate and knowledgeable people across the world. It is one forum where I am myself, and I can speak my mind without the risk of sounding a highly boring person. In real life, it is generally pretty tough to find people who are as passionate as you about certain things, and since the choices doesn't match, the conversation never goes into the depth, you wish they go. So, you compromise and talk about things you don't even know or want to. Because, who wants to be alone?

Everyone has got some crazy ideas, but when you don't meet like minded people it feels as if your ideas, and thoughts are bolted. Locking up ideas within yourself can be poisonous and frustrating at times. That was the prime reason I had started blogging. But, that news came as a sweet shock to me. I feel like a four year old. I'm delighted. Happy. Excited. This is the beggining of a new journey, and I don't even know what the destination is, but who cares about the destination when the journey itself is so beautiful.

My space small space in this mad, mad world.
