As I walked into the house with my grand mother tailing behind me, I saw a shy looking person walk across the room, hurrying after looking at us. He welcomed us inside ad ran up the stairs. His house was like a typical south Indian house, with statues and pictures of the different gods of the Hindu mythology. The house was strongly built and had an extension towards the right hand side with steps leading to the 1st floor. We were guided by his mother and we walked up the stairs and entered the studio. The room on the outside had a few equipments to record music like mike, keyboard, a monitor and wires. When we were called inside the inside room of the studio, I looked and blinked and looked again. An amazing sound proof room with high tech equipments were all in place, ready to take off for the day. He asked us to take out seats in a black leather sofa and then took his place in a cushion chair opposite to us.
“how may I help you,” Girishh asked, taking me by surprise. (I expected something like “shoot your questions”) I congratulated him on his success as a debutante music director for Pandiraj’s movie ‘marina’ and spoke for sometime about the innocence and depth of his songs in the movie.” ( in journalistic terms: breaking the ice) I then went on to ask him different questions as to how he got into the film industry and how he went about with the entire complicated process. He was quite casual with his approach to the whole interview and I realized that I was getting more and more comfortable as the conversation progressed. “take down notes, you. How will you remember all the facts otherwise?” my grand mom shot in (what timing, paati!) I had to deal with her for a few seconds and concentrated on the interview again. I got quite a few exciting tit bits out of the conversation and when I got out of the studio, felt happy and proud of the fact that I have made my start in the big wide world of media on a positive note and will hopefully take off and make better attempts on achieving a stirring role in the million dollar business.
P.S: Girishh bhai! amazing first attempt! way to go! all the very best for your future :)
