Baddie me

Hey,

Had an interesting weekend where I lost in the finals to a ex-India national player in a Mumbai Indoor Badminton tournament. Had a smooth ride into the Finals defeating 5 players along the way, with the Semis being the toughest. Realised that I have a few areas to work on if I am going to defeat these National level players, present or ex!!! This is the Second Singles tournament this year that I have lost in the Finals. I had lost in the finals of the Mumbai Games where I had lost to a India Junior Player. So now I have got 2 Silver Medals this year:) I am not a big fan of Gold as a metal, but I don't mind winning one of that medal soon...but guess, i will have to work on my weaknesses and come back stronger....plan to do that. Forrest Gump, you are my inspiration:)

Badminton really helps me a lot in my filmmaking career too since that helps me get a perspective about life. Otherwise, too much emphasis on films alone can get boring after a while. The combination of writing for films, directing and badminton, plus of course the other things that I do in life give me a sense of balance, and through this, i hope to find interesting perspectives that I can probably express/explore through my films....Also, it is nice to hang around fellow sports enthusiasts who are more interested in talking about net dribbles and backhand clears than those guys who are constantly talking to you about films and filmmakers.

Thanks and enjoy your day. Meanwhile the edit of my feature film 'Hola Venky" is set to commence soon...we are transferring and syncing the sound etc at the moment. Me and my editor Shreyas are working out a way before we jump into the deep end:)

take care
Sandeep
