Crushed. That was the word Mrs. Law (the principal) used, and it feels quite appropriate. I’m definitely feeling that way, and apparently I’m looking it. Awesome.

It all basically boils down to this – due to the terrorist attempt in December, the Indian government has decided to implement a new rule which would not permit me to return to India within 2 months of my departure from it.

The main exams I need to shoot are late in February, most definitely less than 2 months away. If I miss the exams, I miss a significant chunk of the story, thereby the movie, and thereby everything I’ve invested so far. Not cool. Added to all this, the guys have their own work commitments. They have to go back on Monday no matter what, and, crucially, will be taking the main gear (ie the camera) with them. I don’t even know quite where to start. I feel like this came from nowhere but somehow I should’ve known and so it’s me that’s messed up, and my fault. Now I need to figure out how to get on from here. On my own. At least for the next little while.

Crushed is definitely the word.
