For someone to know what's on my mind, I'll write. I've already begun my journey towards clearer writing. To be a champion of thoughts I will write. The video I took of my friends at the stadium went viral. 600 views on a 80 followers Twitter profile. Aaryan thanked me . It was their reaction which was genuine that bought it so close to everyone's hearts. A person retweeted it saying it was the most beautiful thing they'd seen so far.

It must remain one of the things I revisit. Today I discussed philosophical ideas with Dhruv. He insisted that evolution breeds religion. Religion creates morality. So can morality exist in the absence of religion? not. As we journey towards a cleaner version of my literature, also create a lot of content. I'm beginning to believe that we can work together on films. Dhruv's going to leave soon. I will spend all the days with him that I can. Him and Aaryan have a lot of things in common with me. But A is diplomatic in behaviour and Dhruv displays a lot of freedom with which he conveys his thoughts. There is truth in both.

I recently watched Jafar Panahi's Taxi Tehran. In it, a budding director asks the banned one, "what subject he should make a film about?" Despite reading all the books, watching many films and studying art he is unable to decide this topic. Panahi asks him to ignore it. The books he has read have been written. The films he's seen have been made. What he requires is to create cinema that hasn't been created. And for that, he must search a subject that hasn't been discovered. Those are the words of a true cinephile. So cinephilia isn't dead. Cinema will never cease to exist. Being someone who can't create without the backlash of being banned to create, Panahi does a lot for me. A director who wishes to create and is looking for the right opportunities to do so.

Greta Gerwig asks me to write. Without thinking, not for a film but writing for the sake of writing. I will do it.
