My 2009 and Road Ahead......

freedom forum....

"Its 3:40 am in the morning of 22nd Dec, 2009. I just actually just realized that the year is going to end. I mean to say, it just sank in. It’s a very emotional moment for me. I just remembered all that has happened in my life throughout the year and also the responsibilities ahead. I weep for this year as its been the most important year for me and my life……

The year started with project submission for the 1st sem on 9th of Jan (if I’m right). I just had finished my B’day enjoying (preparation for the project submission :) )…..

Our exams started on 11th of Jan (if I’m right). We started off with History of animation exam. I remember the way me and Manu used to study. It used to be funny when we look back. I mean we just entered into a degree course with full enthusiasm and when exams arrived we were taking things a little too easy. Thanks to Unni Sir, he made us realize that exams were not so important. I’m not joking. Its true. The whole point of exams is to test us. That’s not what’s going to actually define us. But that doesn’t mean you guys need to take the exams a little too easy. I mean it was our way of understanding things…. (Our… Me and Manu). Pretty creative I say ;)…..

I still remember how me and Manu were going through the History Of Animation book. It was crazy. I used to go through the book and if I find something suddenly interesting (and not because it was actually important for the exam), I used to wake up Manu and ask him to write them down (I’m quiet lazy to write and he’s quiet lazy to go through the book… u see we complement each other quiet well I guess :) ). Once I note down all the points I learn them for an hour and slept off after waking up Manu. By that time, its morning 4 am and its his turn to study. He’s truly a morning man, I must say.

I started off 2nd sem with absolutely no idea of how its going to be like. I thought of doing a documentary on a person in my neighborhood who was physically challenged. I spoke to him and his parents about it, fixed a date for shooting and finally….. dropped down the idea of doing so. I dint even tell them about this. I don’t know what went in mind at that point of time but all I can say was… I was quiet scared… a failed attempt I must say…. :(

But I came back with a video called Comedy Time (my first actual video of my life). This was a big hit in the college. I was so very happy man. It was awesome thing I must say. I like attention. It gives a high I guess. It actually started of like this….. Unni Sir asked everybody to do a visual grammar as a part of design assignment. Any medium could have been used. At first I thought of something like making a music video out of all the human noises that we make in daily life. But somewhere I felt that I couldn’t have completed that on time. This was I think the turning point. I started going through some videos on YouTube and then suddenly while watching the “I wanna f*** you” song from the Akon, I got an idea of making a music video out of this music…. It was actually supposed to be a parody of it. But somewhere I felt that this song wasn’t working so I switched to “Lonely” from Akon again… The rest is history :)…..

I did my 2nd video within less than a month which too was quiet a hit among people who saw it. It was a presentation of my art work in video synchronized using a song. My third video was for Anifest logo, a stop motion animation. This video was a flop one. But the most important thing was that I learned a lot from the video and more than any other video made by me till date. My exams were over before the 3rd video. Sem exams were more like fun time for us. We got even more less serious than the 1st sem. We used to watch 2 movies every day during exams. It was actually fun time for us. With this 2nd sem ended.

During our sem break, we had a get together party of our schoolmates. Fortunately for me, Neha turned up. I was seriously happy to see her after yrs. I’m not joking… it was yrs. But then the unlucky part was that she dint even look at me, she dint say hi or bai… nothing (I just wanted to tear my chest and pick my heart out and shout… wats happening…. ???) I heard a few weeks back that she got pissed off with my Comedy Time video as I had dedicated the video to her. I thought it was the reason. It was a little painful for me.

Just before the 3rd, I got out of jail (hostel) and started to live outside with few of my friends. It proved to be a good idea :)…..

The entry to 3rd sem proved to be very important one….. not academically but on personal front. For the first time after 5 long yrs… after 5 long long yrs…. I felt for someone other than Neha. Her name’s @#$%%. Very pretty girl I must say. The fact that I got over N@#! was really like a big achievement for me personally. Its not something I’m proud of but I got to give up on something I was too addicted to. Later to my unfortunate…. I got to know @#$%% was committed…. That was fine because I wasn’t so mad about her like I’s to N@#$. I can get over her too. It might take some time. But she reminds me of N@#$. That seems to be the only problem.

My 3rd sem also includes of me doing a video (my 2nd live action). This also became a very big hit though my parents dint like it for obvious reasons like it was a gay thing and all…. Though in the process I learned how to edit in Premiere Pro. This was important as there were some works pending that was to be edited.

This sem ended with me not writing 3 exams due to attendance shortage…. First time happening in my life during important exams. I’s quiet lazy in the middle of the sem, I must say. Will be writing in next sem though, so chill :)…

Oh ya….! Not to forget…. I sucked in 3d animation. This sem taught me that too (to suk at 3D) ;)….

Its 4: 50 am in the morning of 22nd December, 2009. When I look into the next year… I see a lot of responsibilities on my shoulder. I have to learn or better re-learn the 3d stuff and perfect in that and also complete my pending videos.

My B’day is coming up in January, I’ll be 20 then. I’ll be coming out of teenage. Its scary because I don’t know what’s it like in 20s…. I mean this means I become an adult. Adult, right…..???

Out of all the things that has happened in 2009, one thing that I’ll miss a lot, lot and lot is….. UK sir (Unni Sir) and his classes. I weep for 2009 for that simple reason. The fact that I’ll never be able to get those classes back again makes me very sad. I learned to live, to laugh n cry, to fight difficulties and obstacles in life from him. I have changed a lot drastically for better because of him. He is like a Guru to me and to many people. The true modern guru…. Sir I love you a lot…. U r truly a hero.

I sign off with this……!!!!
