Bindu, Elena, and I made our way over to a vegetarian restaurant right next to the flat we’re staying in that was just amazing. I had some delicious food for dinner, but it was the dessert that will forever stay with me. If you ever get presented with the option of ordering kulfi falooda, definitely do it. It’s this wonderful kulfi ice cream that is so thick and creamy it has the consistency of frozen cheesecake mixed with cream, tiny tapioca balls, noodles, and jello. It may not sound entirely enticing on paper, but oh my, it was the best dessert I’ve eaten in all of India!
After the delicious dinner, we met up with everyone else from the flat to take taxis into Film City to have the evening practice on the set. Driving into Film City was like driving into another universe. First, you have to pay an entrance fee that makes you feel like you’re entering a national park. It’s beautiful and green with dirt roads lined with huge trees. It’s so peaceful. It certainly didn’t feel like driving around the cement sets at Universal Studios!
Practice was incredibly efficient. We blocked out all of our placements for the shoot so that, hopefully, everything will flow smoothly the following day. Pradipto, the director, is really good at visualizing the space filled with people and was able to swiftly move us around so that he had us in the right spots for the right shots.
When we got back to the apartment, it was after midnight, Lourd’s birthday! So we celebrated with a cake that Richard picked up from the Brownie shop near the apartment. It was a fun but brief celebration!
