Day 601: Range of Emotions

12 july, 2011

One thing my life doesn't lack is dullness. Never a moment of it. Things happen left, right and center bringing varied and extreme emotions one after the other.

Take today for example. Here is a snapshot of all that happened and the range of emotions that played.

a) I was interviewed for TV, together with some members of the Mausams team (two of the lead actors, the hubby who is also the co-producer and the cinematographer).

Emotions experienced - Nervousness, Excitement, Happiness

b) Working at breakneck speed given that a few hours went on the TV shoot and I had several critical tasks to complete for work.

Emotions experienced - Stress, Determination (to get everything done), Satisfaction (at getting a few things done)

c) Lunch with the same Mausams team who were interviewed, over a conversation about future projects.

Emotions experienced - Pleasure, Excitement, Encouraged (to carry on with the projects)

d) Being caught and fined by the police for jaywalking.

Emotion experienced - Embarrassment (for being as stupid as to walk right into the police's arms), Guilt, Sense of Loss (over the wasted $20 fine)

e) Discovering that the second round of NTSC DVDs burnt for the film festival are also not working, a day before the deadline to send the DVDs out. Background to this can be found here.

Emotions experienced - Frustration, Panic, Helplessness

f) Successful NTSC DVD experiment (which was our "last shot", so to say) by the cinematographer, resulting in a working DVD at about 9pm.

Emotions experienced - Out of the World Relief, Gratitude, Happiness

As you can see, it's been the mother of all rollercoasters.

But I must say, it wasn't dull.

399 more to go.
