Fragrance Of The Past
The odour of the coffee could easily transport me into some old memories. The college days, at that time I thought there weren't that many things to be nostalgic about. But as it passed there's a lot, even when I see it as a failure part of my life. I haven't got anything other than friends from there, now I feel that was enough.
There's a small tea shop near our college, where we all spend most of the free times. It's more about gossipping and other chit chats. It all includes an odour of coffee, which will be always in front of us. That smell could easily give us the energy to talk. Most of the times we will be teasing someone in the gang, it's always like that. It will change from one to other, sometimes it's me some other times it changes.
I still remember that day when my friend came to talk to me about his ideas on making a film, it was kind of a day I still regret about. He tried to talk to me about a script he has written, but I ignored and at the same time we tried to mock him. From the next moment, I felt that it was not right. But I did it for not losing the fun.
So it took some time for him to come back and tell me the story again, but he did once more. It was great, we all shared some great idea into it and finally created it. Those shooting days was awesome, it was also full of both struggle and happiness. We learned a lot, we found out that shooting a sequence without enough preplan will be a hell of a thing.
After a lot of struggles, we finished it and watched it ourselves. We didn't have the confidence to share with others, we really knew that it was a dumb film. But we learned a lot and at the same time, there was fun, something to remember. A good memory from the past.
Things are a bit different now, the craze in cinema is decreasing day by day. Now I feel like I'm far away from the art form, once there was a moment I felt like I could really do something. Now all those are gone but still, I don't have a regret that I spent my energy on something that wasn't useful.
It's always like that we could not do something with complete confidence that it will be helpful in future. There will be both occasions, we really don't know what will happen in future. All we could do is whatever we like and move on. If it comes back to use the opportunity to do something more beautiful than previously done.
