The last piece in this was written a long time ago.
Feels even longer as in the interim, I’ve completed a documentary and a feature film script, taught a lot, and after a long long time ‘grounded’ myself into a place and a culture- well, I grew up there so it wasn’t tough. In a sense I’ve grown and changed a lot more in the past few months than I have in a while.
Is that what I’m going to write about, the changes? No not really, I don’t think I can fully appreciate them myself at the moment. In any case I have always had a dislike for talking matters personal- I know they are there but its just difficult for me to talk about them.
For the moment, I think I need to talk about the making of the documentary. After that possibly the writing of the script. Then when I’m kind of up-to-date, I’ll decide what to write about.
Somewhere down the line I will have to discuss my teaching ventures as my students opened out new vistas for me- showing me what I was missing out on in Indian Cinema, particularly its popular genres. And my nephew filled me in on non-traditional Hindi cinema.
My non-Meerut students filled me on new international cinema, about which they knew a lot more than I do, so somewhere I will acknowledge their debt.
That’s an agenda I guess. Hope it doesn’t go the way of New Year resolutions.
