Pleasant news

Unexpected but pleasant things sometimes make us more happy. Having done relatively bad in the past term I was not really looking forward to see my mid term scores today. I scored cent percent in two of the three exams but I was not feeling anything much. I was not pissed off like the previous time but I did not really care much anymore. Anyways, then this friend of mine called few mins back with a good news - he's got a job as an Assistant Director. Now this news really made me so damn happy. This friend of mine left his job in the States, moved back home and was trying to get into the Movie industry. But this is a really difficult field to get in if you really do not have much connections or resources. He has been trying for a while now. We even made a short movie couple of months back so that he can showcase his work to introduce himself (guess who the Cinematographer was). But finally he got his break.

We all have dreams and quite often they are crazy too. But we are scared to go after them because of fear of not making it or fear of the uncertainty. We get so terrified to even entertain the possibility of pursuing them. Only few dare to chase their dreams and I believe they are the ones who would be truly happy at the end of their journey when they look back. The first time he seriously told me about his movie making passion was exactly two years, five months and two days back. We had a long conversation on a rainy day at the other end of the world in California. Though I did not fully comprehend his concepts I could see how serious he was. I was in a confusing situation myself, without clarity about future, but it felt good to see a friend with such strong convictions about what to do in life. I knew that it was going to be a long and hard journey. It has been a while since then but he is finally on track to realizing his dreams. He has a long way to go but regardless of where he ends up in his life, I am sure that he would relish every moment of the adventure.
