Day 249: What a Weekend!

This weekend has been most interesting to say the least. Even though I wrote a short post for Saturday, I think with both Saturday and Sunday combined, this has been one of the most interesting weekends Ever. I think the number of significant events is so big that it definitely deserves a combined listing here. So here we go... the significant events from the significant weekend of Jul 24-25 in my life.

a) Completing the planned 150 shots in less than the planned 12 hours.
b) Having cast members turning up 2 -3 hours late with one of them following me around the shoot location begging for forgiveness (even though I was nothing but sweet to him and indicated no resentment whatsoever about his ridiculous sense of timing).
c) The same cast member ending up with a muscle sprain during the shoot, leading to one useless arm for him and temporary panic for me.
d) 12 hours of unbelievable support from the hubby who stayed on for the long shoot without me asking him to do so and without him complaining about boredom even once. Respect.
e) Having an unexpected Saturday night outing with awesome dinner and dessert session at Holland Village with hubby, cinematographer and couple of cast members.
f) Having the biggest scene shot till date with 9 people in a single scene.
g) Getting lunch served by the heroine of the film who brought over rice, dal and veggie dishes which was definitely a pleasant surprise and welcome change from the otherwise expected pizza delivery.
h) Being thrown out of shoot from own condominium's premise because of the complaint from some godforsaken "resident" (am still baffled what my fellow neighbour found disturbing considering we were shooting in nobody's way and had only trees as the backdrop).
i) Having our official photographer come over for behind the scene shoot and ending up with a ton of pictures of the cast mostly yawning, scratching their heads or looking doped and me looking messy as ever.
j) Having an incredible dinner of Idiyappam, Aappam, Mutton Ularthiyathu, Vegetable Ishtu and Masala Chai at the wonderful Mango Tree restaurant with the hubby (the weather was awesome too... very breezy and just perfect for outdoor dining).
k) Having 80% of the film canned.
l) Feeling really good about the whole thing.
