How do people play with our emotions? I am just outraged at their taking us for granted! I was approached as if I was a great star. It was made to appear I would be given an important role. How excited I was to have got an opportunity to act! What a travesty in the name of acting! I felt so embarrassed at the role. Anyone could have played that role, why did they approach only me? I am going to complain to Nishkanto Babu about this insult!
The moment I was told I was just to speak ‘oh’, I felt like fleeing from the place. I was extremely hurt. I did not want to shoot the scene. But then I remembered my Guru, my mentor’s words. He had taught me I must never refuse any role, however small it might be. As an artist my aim should always be to make the most of the opportunity, and squeeze the last drop of meaning out of my lines. Remembering my Guru’s words, I decided to give my best to the small role offered to me. I rehearsed it many times, infusing different shades of emotions into the word ‘oh’. At last the scene was shot, and everyone appreciated my acting. I also felt so good having given my best. I left the shooting scene without even receiving my payment in protest, just to make them realize their mistake.

Today was a day filled with mixed emotions. I was chosen for giving a speech on the merits of democracy. The speech was divided into three sections, the introduction, explanatory and the conclusion part. I was the part of the conclusion part.
I was really interested for this speech but felt bad about the role i was given. But, I wanted to make justice to my role. I prepared well and practiced many times before I delivered it on the stage.
I was praised and received a lot of appreciation. Even though I felt bad for the role in the speech, I really put a great performance on the stage. I felt happy for that. I received a special praise from the principal.
