Musings of an Idiot

Booked

One more step to reality - I booked my air tickets and the intrepid journey that I want to do in Borneo next year. I know it is crazy that I booked next year's holiday already but I couldn't let a 20% discount on the tour price + a very good price on the air fares slip away. So now I am counting down to this year's holiday as well as next years one. :-)

I was clearing out my emails and found this email {from a few years back} from a cousin that I've never met. In it she said "Although we have never met, I heard a lot about naughty little Amit from ammamma [grandmother] and tatagaru [granddad], when you were very very young. So, I had an image of you as this very young boy and I almost had a shock when I heard about you and what you were upto. I guess kids do grow up. " This got me thinking - I wonder if I have ever grown up and if I am still naughty - my perception is that I haven't really grown up [mentally that is - :-)] and I am still cheeky at times but not naughty any more. I would love to meet the younger version of myself just to see how naughty I was.

UP is a fantastic movie and it was even better watching it in 3-D. It is funny, touching, beautiful and above all well told. It's got some serious themes running through it and I am amazed that the director and PIXAR didn't flinch away from them. Watch it - even if you are put off by the hype surrounding the movie.

We filmed another scene for the movie on Wednesday night and we cracked through the scene like a breeze and I am really happy and thankful to everyone involved. Now we have another shoot coming up on Sunday afternoon and looking forward to it. A big thanks to Rosseanne for lending us her camera, so we can still keep shooting with 2 cameras. Here are a couple of screen grabs from the Wednesday shoot.





That's me for now.
