Looking forward to go to the mountains
The Himalayas that is. I heard so many good things about the places from Marcus & Kiki, who rode a motorbike through the highest motorable road in the world, from Manali to Leh, back in 2002~2003(?).
The work at Hyderabad has dried out my energies. I worked for 66~72 hours per week during my first 2 months here, a condition that I wouldn't have accepted if I knew before hands. The only reason that I stayed and did not just pack up and go travelling is because I want to test my limits.
The people from the studio are good people, it's just that they have put themselves in a very difficult situation, having to finish huge amount of works with impossible time constraints. However the lack of management and organization is wasting a lot of time for everybody in the studio, but there's not much I can do about it, this is India, they have their way of doing things.
At the end of my two month contract period, I had a chat with the studio directors (who always talk to me like friends), mentioning my intention to leave and go travelling. They expressed their desire for me to stay, so I said that I'll stay for one more month and see how things go. But at least after our talk, they've reduced the working our back to the normal hours, that is from 9am to 6:30 pm, Monday to Saturday.
I'm not sure how long will I stay here, nobody knows when will the movie be finished (surprise surprise, what do you expect with the style of management here?), but now my desire is to go to the mountains next month.
Let's wait and see, that's all I can say.
