A Tale of an Introvert Wanderer
“Life is a movie and you are the author”
I am coming up with one of the most memorable and adventurous chapters of my life. Let’s take a look at the story of an introverted wanderer. The city never sleeps, never stops, and always sets new goals and challenges for its people. The city is known as the financial capital of India. I am talking about Mumbai.
The City Of Dreams
I went to Mumbai in November 2019 to pursue a dream and find the answers to lots of questions. I had never been to the city before. It’s been dubbed “my long single trip.” In that city, I only knew my cousin, and as I landed at the Mumbai airport, I realized that the rest of my journey would not be easy.
I reached my destination, when my cousin saw me, he was overjoyed. He was encouraging me to continue on my path. And then he made a decision to go to Marine Drive, Mumbai’s most popular night time destination. It was roughly 1:00 a.m. at the time. He wanted to show me that place. We hired a taxi and began our journey to the marine drive via the Bandra-Worli sea link bridge.
And believe me, the bridge was exquisitely designed. I had a good time crossing that bridge. My cousin’s roommate came out for the night out with us, and as a photographer, he was shooting at night. It was 2:00 a.m. on Marine Drive, yet it appeared that it was far too early. People were freely strolling, while bikers were whizzing by on their motorcycles. People were also present in huge numbers at the time. Going out on Marine Derive at 2:00 a.m. in Mumbai was a blast.
The next day, I had to get ready to go to the Screenwriters Association to discuss the project. I get up early in the morning and head to Andheri West. I was a little nervous, which was understandable given my introverted and reserved personality. When you enter the ocean, you will come face to face with a variety of fish species. And this city was like an ocean to me. How enjoyable it was to go to school You had to get dressed every morning to go to school, attend courses, socialize with your peers, and then return home after finishing your studies and tests. But I was in the midst of the most important exam of my life at the moment.
With these thoughts in mind, I asked the receptionist for the contact numbers of the directors and production houses. I could get this from Google, but this association is the most reliable source for providing the right information to the writers. As I was a member of the Screenwriters Association. My work was also registered with the same association. I thought it was better to go there. When the receptionist spotted me, he recognized me as a newcomer. “Go to the left and collect that black book,” he stated pleasantly. You will receive all of the necessary contact information for production companies.
During my school and college years, I was not a particularly bright student. In my class, I was always a mediocre. In 2017, I received my bachelor’s degree from B.C.A. My heart, on the other hand, was looking for anything that would give me meaning in life. I could not become a cricketer, and I also failed to meet my family’s expectations.
There’s a whirlpool of memories swirling around me, but I don’t say anything. I carry a rebellion in my heart
Inner wisdom
After getting to know myself, I realized what I wanted to do with my life, and I came here to pursue it. Today I realized there was a minor flaw in my planning. But because I didn’t have someone to guide me, I made the decision on my own because I had nothing to lose. I learned a new lesson, and I would have tasted victory if I had won. But I made the best effort I could.
“Art is not what you see, but what you make other see”
It is usually a good idea to strive to push yourself out of your comfort zone. And always strive to achieve your goals. Being the underdog gives you the opportunity to show the world anything you want at any time during the event. You can shock the world at any time.
I was, likewise, on my own in the city. Every day I visited a new production house and met people who were from the same field. I went to Whistling Woods Film School and visited Film city. I also visited the Prithvi Theatre in Juhu, which is home to a number of renowned Indian artists.
After a solo trip across an unknown city, my cousin and I agreed to hang out one day, and now I have company. From Churchgate to Colaba, we toured and enjoyed the city by taking the Mumbai local train and the Mumbai metro. I enjoy art as well, so we went to a photography museum with our mutual agreement.
An introvert overcomes his flaws
For me, it was an incredible trip and life experience. That single excursion taught me a great deal. It is true, as I have heard, that surviving in Mumbai is never simple. Every day is different, and every problem is different. You need to put in extra effort every day. If you did, you could survive. If you don’t, you’ll just blend in with the throng. Being an introverted person, I also crossed my limits, and I gained the experience of meeting new people and making new acquaintances in an unfamiliar city as a result of this trip.
I want to say one thing. If you have limited resources, focus on making progress in those areas. Success takes time, but along the way, life teaches you a lot. You will also learn the true value of success, which you will always value. This is the story of an introverted wanderer. I will write one more story about my Mumbai trip and share my experience with you.
A lot has happened in life…
Thank You.
