[A Perfect Puzzle of a Day]
Writing is all about creating Art with the flow of your words. Very often we get lost & carried away in writing to be read and in some way that can come across as expecting validation. This was told to me by a loved one a couple days ago and I couldn't help but ponder on it. On that note, I’m here to journal my day in a free-flowing manner right from my heart ❤
I am an Actor, I love everything about expressing myself whether it is ON or OFF camera. It is definitely an adrenaline rush for me every moment that I’m living it. Just like writing; when the camera switches on, I can never be my complete self. There is always a 2% conscious acting that comes into the picture. All that I’ve rehearsed off-camera to act out a scene in a certain way never actually comes out in that same manner when they say ‘ACTION’. Well, thats a topic for another day. Getting back to my morning, there was a much-awaited email in my inbox as I opened my eyes to a not-so-motivated day. But having said that, I can’t wait for you to read till the end to find out how my day ended :)
I started my day with the thing I love the most. An audition for a lovely Indian character for a chocolate commercial. Yes! That’s the email I was talking about. I walked into their office, dressed in the attire that suited the character best which did indeed get me a few brownie points. (yayy!!)
I did my part well, had a few productive conversations with people in the industry and that ended up being a great start to my morning.
It followed on to Day 1 of a hospitality and hotel management class that I had decided to take. Was a completely new venture, I was a bit hesistant as to not knowing how it would turn out to be. But to my surprise I LOVED it. It was exciting, knowledgable, interactive and all that I learnt made me just want to learn more and more asking a zillion questions as I went along.
So now that we’ve finished an acting audition, a study class for a new interest of mine, what next?
I went for a ‘Cooking Class’. Really COOOL right!!
It was a private session taught to me by one of my dearest aunts, she was guiding me into learning the nuances of healthy cooking. This was something I was definitely looking forward to. So much so because, I have watched cookery shows all my life, the art of cooking has always fascinated me so much, but sadly I didn’t know the ABC of cooking and this was my one and only chance to get at it. If not, my procrastination was never going to let me. My aunt is a lovely lady who is kind, calm, beautiful, patient and has the most coolest tips when it comes to cooking. We learnt how to make Dal-Chawal, Hummus, Tabouleh & Zaatar crisps. Aaaah it was literally heaven when all that steaming hot food was laid out on the table to relish. There’s a certain thing about being part of the whole process and then getting to eat it yourself. Bliss!!
Ive been wanting to journal about this day in particular as it had a beautiful mix of all the things I loved and at the end of it all, I felt happy, productive, satisfied, energetic and felt like a new version of myself. In short I had discovered a new part of me that was hidden down there. I call it ‘My Perfect Puzzle of a day’ as it felt like many different interesting pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that fit together to make it a perfect day for me!
NO BETTER FEELING IN THE WORLD ❤
