The Experience,The Unbelivable & The Dilema of making a Decision

Its been almost two weeks since I and sis came back from India, earlier, I told you about Bangalore and the thrilling experience of the auto ride etc. Well, I olso went to Chennai actually and Chennai was exactly just like how i imagined. We stayed at the old city of Chennai near Anna Nagar and the traffic, the atmosphere all were really hetic. Too many vehicles, cows and people on the road, just as i said earlier, if you can drive in India, you can drive anywhere in the world :-).... I couldn't get the opportunity to see the famous Railway station of Chennai as it was located at the new Chennai city... but its okay, I will be going back soon so I will check all that out......

Overall, the journey was good, I manage to visit Rajiv Ghandhi's memorial before leaving back to Bangalore... i dont know why, but i felt very sad when i stood in front of the memorial...the atmosphere was filled with sadness... Anyway as we experienced another 7 hour drive back to bangalore... i was just thinking....

It was a dream come true for me to visit India...that happened...it was my dream to board a plane and travel abroad...that olso happened..now, i have another dream that may happen as well... being a part of the Indian Film Industry... When i was there, i met an uncle who was an ex award winning documentary Filmmaker, Mr. Ravi and guess what... he knows India's top cinematographer, Mr. Santosh Sivan's family.. and he told me that if Im going to Kerala, please let him know, he will try to arrange a meeting with him, and you may never know, Santosh might take me as his assistant as he is known to be a very humble person and likes to help people who are intrested in this field of cinema..that's what he said... Tears filled my eyes... seriously.. i didnt expect all this to happened you know... and adding to that, i have a distant relation who is an assistant to another India's top cinematographer, Ravi. K. Chandran.. I spoke to him and he told me that if I can come around October, I may get the chance to be part of his team as he has a project coming up....

Now, back in Malaysia, I spoke to dad and he told me that he is happy with any decision I make.... I still havent decide anything yet.. but I know, opportunity is knocking on my door and I have to make a decision whether to open the door and welcome it inside or not....( Sorry couldnt upload any pictures yet, will do that soon okay)
