Indian cinema seems to be growing very well at its own pace.

I have this fantasy of my older days, painting or sculpting or making things. I have this fantasy of a bike trip to Chile. I have this fantasy of flying into Morocco. But right now, it's about getting the work done and getting home to family. I have an adventure every morning, getting up.

I always liked those moments of epiphany, when you have the next destination.
