It's 6 PM and I just woke up :) Have to go again for the shoot tonight. CP is so awesome! The evenings are so crowded - people in the Central Park, in the stores enjoying the end-of-season sales, couples walking around the inner circle, aunties, uncles, kids, people searching for love in the cruising areas, fancy big cars, small cars, two-wheelers, cycles - I love it that the crowd is so heterogeneous unlike the other localities where every person looks like the other. And then late into the night, CP empties itself of all this life and just sits there - well lit and silent. The peripheries continue to breathe - a small eatery outside Shivaji Stadium stays open all night. Again the people hanging around it are different - the after party kids in their party clothes, the night shift employees in the formal wear, the news reporters with their IDs hanging from their necks and cameras held in their hands like guns, and us, a group of ambitious film people :)

The highlight of yesterday was shooting in an abandoned building. We were scared of the guard sitting outside, possible drugged people armed with blades living inside, the police because our shot involved an act that is illegal, and ghosts! It was really really spooky and dangerous, but we did it. And it looks great!

I wish we could shoot every night until I leave India - its a great distraction and a lot of fun - but we have to finish tonight, since the film has to be edited and submitted for a festival by day after. The screening will be on August 16th - Rakhi day I think. Another fun distraction on the right day. I shall go eat now. Hasta pronto!
