Travails

There is Kasaravalli Fest in Suchitra Film Society this weekend. Screening of Ghatashradhdha and Koormavatara today and a documentary and felicitation tomorrow. I read about it yesterday, was very excited but most of my plans don't bear fruit so kept myself under check. But you know what, I went to Suchitra today. I did. And guess what? I didn't watch anything. As usual, I tried to club it with another errand and I was late and the show was full. There were another 15-20 people like me but I came from the farthest so I hope I gave them all some solace. Waiting for the next show was impossible so I started back immediately. Of course I'm disappointed but not so much too. First, I love the place. It was love at first sight but also the only sight in the last eight years so my love didn't really translate into a serious engagement. Anyway, I love the concept, the environ and the locality and it's one of my dreams to live there some time. Second, I now know that I can do it; withstand the pressure from my family to stay put at home(Rishi was the only one who said I should go). And also, they know that I can do it so I hope it sets a precedence.

I would've also become a member of the Society today, had I carried my photo. The guy asked me thrice when I could come next to complete the enrollment but I had no answer. I wanted to tell him that the only way for me to come in the very near future was by becoming a member. Now I have the half-filled form with me. May be I should try in the middle of the week.
