As soon as you read the title, a little box in your mind opens up, the one that has all the firsts registered. Some of them to be cherished, some saved for youself to relive and some locked away.
We do not remember the first few firsts of our lives, the first step, first word, first walk, first day of school. But as we grow, we start recording the firsts we have had in our life.
Let's rewind and see what we can recollect... First full marks, first crush, first first performance, first hobby, first friend, first medal / trophy, first love, first kiss, first praise from parents, first drink, first adventure, first salary / earning, first heartbreak, first time you become parents, (you remember all the baby's firsts thereafter)
Now, please return and I'm sure you have a smile after the end of this beautiful time travel.
Just a few days back, me hubby and cherry experienced one such first. I would like to start from the beginning here..
Sany has been persuading me to send cherith's pictures for kids competitions, I did give it a thought too but somehow it did not work. Recently I did send them across to a lady. After an introduction video and 2 auditions, cherry was selected to shoot for an advertisement.
I got the confirmation on Thursday and the shoot was scheduled for Saturday. Honestly, I didn't really know how to prepare cherry. I did switch to being a panicky mom wondering if all will go well, if he will obey us or be a troublemaker. Apprehensions overtook my excitement but after talks with bro and sany, I was looking forward to a good show.
On saturday morning, surprisingly hubby switched to being the panicky papa. We were called at 8.am and while on our way, I told hubby "I have been referred to as your wife for a long time, now I will be referred to as cherry's mom" we smile at each other excitedly.
We entered the villa after thorough sanitisation. As soon as we entered stepped foot inside, we saw a team of almost 25 people at work, setting up lights, camera, products, art, people running to the director for approvals.
We were shown our room and asked to wait till cherry was called for costume trial and makeup. While we waited, hubby said "I hope he does well, doesn't look like these people have any backup"
"Relax" I said reassuring him, "they would have worked with kids before and know how to manage them, besides I know he will do what is asked" he smiled wryly in reply.
Well, he was in front of the camera for a few hours. The director was patient with cherith while his assistant and the actors enjoyed his company. After few retakes, we took a lunch break and then followed a few hours of wait (which nearly bored me and hubby)
"I was thinking..." hubby said as we waited "while having breakfast today, ki humein cherry ki wajah se khana mil raha hai aaj" i smiled outside but I knew exactly how happy, how proud and how touched hubby felt at this opportunity our little one was given.
Both of us tried to keep cherry's energy up, hubby took him for a troll in the balcony, we did counting footsteps and lights, few chocolate bribes, a little academic revision, all to keep him from dozing off and then we were called for his close up shot and then we were free to leave while the others finished work with the adult actors.
I was handed a form to fill before we left, it mentioned 'Child Actor' on top, the feeling was inexplicable.
I must confess, I was charmed as I looked at him on the director's screen. I was ecstatic to see how he gelled with people and how the team enjoyed his expressions and gig.
It was an unforgettable first no matter how his journey in this field goes in future.. For now, you can return to your treasure of firsts..
CHEERS!!
GOD BLESS!!
