Lately it has been raining a lot.
There are four films in development at our school, four stories to fashion, to forge, to strengthen, to test. I’ve been working intensively with the student groups and visiting faculty to help develop compelling stories.
On a Saturday I went to Alibaug, the closest coastal area to Pune. I drove down with a colleague and his wife. He drives as if he is in a constant hurry or just has no concern for his body’s mortality – I can’t decide which. We took a road which at times is like a lumpy autobahn – straight and wide but not quite ironed smooth and flat.
The beach is not Goa’s crystalline blue. The water is shallow far out into the ocean, the coastline straight. Visitors from Mumbai and Pune park their cars in the lot and stroll along the sand and converge on the many horse drawn carts and the inflatable tubes or mattresses drawn behind a jet ski in the mild surf.
We didn’t linger long at the sea side but it was a great break from Pune’s dusty plateau.
