potholes and peaks

Ah, the ups and downs of life at Day and Night. I travelled the tricity looking for one Dikshant School for a morning shoot. By the time i realized there were several Dikshant Schools at different locations, the morning shoot became an afternoon shoot. Eventually, the shoot happened, with the producer clenching his teeth back in the office. I came, looking sheepish, tape in hand. Anyways, wrote four scripts, two mine, two someone's. All the while the producer was looking at me with a quiet desperation in his eyes. I tried to return reassuring glances for sometime, then decided there was no point. Just when i was getting down to work, a senior chose the moment to talk. Ten minutes gone. All hell broke lose in those ten minutes. A new editor had joined and he tried his hand with one of my stories, completely destroying one voice over…By the time the show rolled out, i was so stressed that tears welled up (Why are my tear ducts so hyperactive)? Then when the show rolled out, i was so relieved i started laughing. Its done, over, phew…thank god…
Some days, things conspire to throw you off balance, other days they fall in place to make a perfect picture. In the end, all this makes a life worth living.
