I gathered two months of savings to invest in recording a music video for my second original song.

Yesterday was the shoot; The location was in the train. I was excited; Things went well. I gave some of the best shots. But only one was there that I missed.

Nothing like that happened during the video shoot of my first original song. Every shot went near to perfection.

But as the train reached the station where my videographers were waiting in front of that last door, I panicked.

I thought that I was not standing at the right door, while I was, and I moved toward the second last door of the train.

Do you know what the funniest part is? When the door opened, I wasn’t there. I became a ghost — the invisible man.

The Chaos and Songs of Regrets After This Incident

Me: panic, little watery eyes, a little regret, and then a big laugh.

Firstly, I was stiff. I was not relaxed. During any project, if your body muscles are not relaxed, the chances are high that you will panic…
