I have an entry on this blog today, only thanks to a pure blessing from God. It would have been an utterly crappy day, without NOTHING beautiful about it, not even a Starbucks Chai latte because I didn't have time to even get one.
It was really looking like another horrible day. I can't remember the last time it was THIS frustrating and tiring at work. I feel absolutely and completely worn out and downright frustrated with the lack of progress of a project that I have been sweating out over for the last few weeks. I am getting quite sick of working beyond midnight every other day, especially since it is completely against my work-life-balance principles. I have a bad feeling that am beginning to burn out because the weirdest thing happened today.
I was told that there was a meeting on 19P28, 19 being the floor number and P28 being the room number. I happily went to the lift lobby to go to the 19th floor, when my poor subordinate came running after me and stopped me.
She: Where are you off to?
Me: Meeting
She: But you are to meet the agency together with me now.
Me: Yeah. That's where I am going.
She: Where?
Me: For the meeting.
She: But the meeting is here.
Me: Where?
She: HERE! (makes a sweeping movement towards the door through which I just came out into the lift lobby).
Me: Huh? I thought the meeting is on the 19th floor.
She: This IS the 19th floor.
Me: Oh.
19th floor has been my floor for the last 1 year and I happily forgot that today.
That's when I began to feel rather hopeless about life and that things were really going haywire. But of course, our dear God decides that things aren't that bad after all.
Mathew Jenif Joseph, the messenger from God, who also happens to be my film's editor based currently in Abu Dhabi, popped up on Google Talk and informed me that my film, Mausams, has been edited. The first draft of the full film has been completed. He says it's a nice 125 minute feature film. My feature film.
I could really cry from joy then. Fine, so the day is beautiful after all. And hence this entry. Am thankful for it.
695 more to go.
