The Story So Far

Those accustomed to writing on walls would know that on bare white walls (or grey, for that matter) words look more attractive than sentences. Few words strung together are more appealing than sentences. Even if they are separate words, with no apparent connection with each other, individually and in totality they would stand for many things.

And usually the creation of such a ‘montage’, if I may use that word liberally, ends up looking impressive and conveys more than sentences would.

My first ever remuneration was for a radio programme, the second for a newspaper article and the third in the form of a Best Film award for a film I had co-directed with a friend. Next I got paid for some training programs I conducted.

radio newspaper and film.

Two words emerged, stayed - freelancing, flexibility.

Those words which I had carefully etched on my walls have leapt on to paper and continue to look meaningful in each other’s company. No pun intended.

So what kind of a company?

A film company. A training company. A much more than all this company. A thinking company. An acting company. A writing company. A working company.

A struggling company. That in itself is ‘enough to fill the human heart’ (The Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus).

A company founded on passion. The kind that exists in books and now has permeated into training rooms. And film locations. And writing pads.

A company aware of possibilities that exist beyond possibilities that exist. A company comfortable inside and outside of boxes. Of all shapes and sizes.
