The destination always inspires the path.
But it is the way you live that path is how one can determine how much the destination will be cherished and nurtured.
Sitting in the beautiful lush green meadows of Queenstown in New Zealand, crisp Sunshine healing and rejuvenating my body and soul.
Fresh cold breeze conditioning the aura around and the brain now relives the entire journey of ‘Meera,’ the sell-out stage production on the Gold Coast.
The conception, the build-up, the threatened miscarriage, the rescue, the joy of feeling the first kick, enjoying the turns and rolls within as it grew, and then feeling the growth with in to a point that the ribs started to ache. The baby (Production Meera – a cast 300 strong) was ready to take on the world.
Mammoth task
Yes, it was like a full-fledged pregnancy, where I had responsibility of all the 300 people who believed in me, the idea, the passion. And when I conceived all of them together what a mammoth task it was to make sure all of us shined together on that spectacular stage of HOTA, Gold Coast on November 4, 2018.
To achieve so, like a mother does, like a father does, like a teacher does- had to do it all so that the time, effort, love that the entire Gold Coast has put in doesn’t go waste.
But what amazing team we had!
The support, respect and continuous unjudged affection I have received from everyone, makes each one of them a real star.
Despite all the responsibilities and pressures I had as Director, Producer (a completely self-funded project), Lead Actor and many other roles, the entire community came together and worked with us, for our commercial entity (Wild Dreamer Productions), selflessly and tirelessly.
I salute each one of them who believed and did not believe in the process and Journey of making Meera, the Production.
Tribute to participants
In the history of Wild Dreamer Productions, each one of them will be loved forever for all their contributions.
Gathering all the love, strength and belief in humanity that I have received from the Gold Coast, I now spread my wings across the oceans all the way to Auckland, New Zealand and all around the globe, so that I can make all of them proud of something so many passionately supported.
Keeping the mottos and ethos of Wild Dreamer Productions in mind, we are all geared to harness, nurture, collaborate and enjoy the journey of known and unknown in the world of arts and creativity by making this a sustainable career option for many and yet stay a commercial entity.
Taking all the affection and blessings from everyone and sending loads of love to all from the Wild Dreamers of past, present and future.
