Yesterday, a certain friend and well-wisher of mine who insists on being called a 'fan' asked me why I have become a lot more media-shy over the years. To be frank, that I haven’t been talking much about what I do for a living hardly has anything to do with my media shyness. When you’ve been doing something for a while, it’s not just your craft that evolves but also why you do what you’ve chosen to do for a living. 

Art, to me, is no longer just the means for a quick buck or glory. I have gone back to loving the process of attempting new things, at times failing, and always learning on the go. Also as you grow older you become more streamlined and your priorities change with it. It’s a little like how when you’re younger, the only reason you work out is to look good naked. As you grow older, you work out because it helps you feel good and function better. Looking good naked is just a bonus. The moment that becomes a priority, the need to feel good and function better just adds to the overall pressure.

Yes, I’ve turned down a few interviews of late and said no to several projects, and that’s only because right now isn’t the time for gloating in mediocre achievements. There is quite a lot to be done, and I promise that when the time is right I will not shy away. As the saying goes - To everything, there is a season.

Here's wishing you all a creative 2019
