Serenity!!

It occasionally happens; you enter into such a serene mood; and you feel that this life is a

bliss!! I am in of those beautiful moods..!!

I wrote somelines few days back " You need not worry about health if you play daily, you need think

of survival if you have knowledge and you need not worry about others if you understand

yourself!!".. loved these words..

makes me to remember few words I spoke when we we got induction when we were at IBM. I was supposed

to speak something.. before that we were made to play some games.. I just said " be the same as you

are now!! take this work as if you are just playing a game and be the same as you are now!! you

guys will rock".. loved those words.. I wonder if language is the greatest invention of man!!

which again reminds of the very first documentary I made!! its about street kids we ISMites used to

teach in evenings.. "they say knowledge doubles by spreading it".. rana sir translated it as "

kehte hain ki gnaan baat ne se badthe hain!!"..

For me its all about stories.. i just love them.. I think i can listen stories all my life. Gimme a

job which earns me a lakh for a month or gimme job of 10k where I need to work only 3 -4 hours a

day.. I will choose the later.. time matters and its very important.. I just wanna read .. read .

and read.. travel.. travel.. and make fims!! I am absolute love with my work and my efforts!!

Speaking of which.. I was reading about a man.. who happily tilted his farm and wrote poetry at nights!! Wish I could become like that.. nothing to worry..just write and fall in love!!

.. let me end with a joke.. there was this guy who came to me and told.. i am very depressed .. tell me what to do.. I seriously told him, read bhagavadgeetha.. that would help!! he gave me a crazy look and left.. god bless!!

here are few lyrics of a song I fell in love with.. Afterglow!!

Here I am, lost in the light of the moon that comes through my window
Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you and the roses

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way
I will sacrifice 'til the blinding day when I see your eyes
Now I'm living in your afterglow

When the veils are gone as I let you go, as I let you go

Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow
Heal me from all this sorrow
As I let you go I will find my way, I will sacrifice
Now I'm living in your afterglow

Bathed in blue, the walls of my memory divide the thorns from the roses
It's you who is closest


hope you guys loved it..

keep rockin

Few thoughts and conversations!!

I am getting restless again and the itch to do something has started.. which is a good sign.. so I started to write again after a break.. here we go!!

1) A friend of mine pinged me and told me “ buddy , you better start making some short films.. it was a long time since you did something.. we have great expectations on you.”

My answer was simple.. I have nothing to show someone.. I have no expectations on myself.. so I have nothing to prove myself or for you. I have my plans.. I learn.. I learn.. I unlearn and think of something new and start up again..!! the way you understand you should do something.. but you think you cant.. you very existence comes under question!! Cheers..

Speaking of beauty ; I am reading Bhagavatha now a days, must say I am on cloud nine!!
I wonder are these the most beautiful books ever written.. they explain seasons in a very beautiful way.. summer, winter, autumn.. my favourite season Spring!!.. I mean who doesn’t love spring.. new leaves and new hopes!! I cherish it the most..!! When I read of baby Krishna.. I just fell in love.. believe me It can be applied to any kid.. running around his Mom, pulling her saree and asking food!! I just fell in love again..
Reminds of what famous music director Ilayaraja said!! “ For me music is like a just born kid.. innocence . love and beauty.. nothing else”..

2) A friend of mine came to me recently and told that he is getting depressed a lot recently.. I told him to read bhagavad geeta.. he gave me a weird look and left ..lol.. I am getting weird day by day.

And someone was complaining few days ago!! , Srikanth .. you write good , but why do you use derog words in between.. though I have no offense for this question.. I have to answer it..
I write what I really feel, may the situation needs a mockery ( according to me).. and ofcourse I use disclaimers.. for readers.. that this is not for family people.. lol!!

3) I feel I am enjoying the best days of my life.. I read vigorously .. and watch movies when ever I wish.. thanks to the fast net in office.. I am downloading a movie a day!! And indeed the time is getting hectic!!

Ofcourse I wish for another trip through water, greenery , mountains and snow!! ( Himalayas) and ofcourse new treks to be covered..

4) I had the pleasure of listening some very good words.. regarding Alchemy!!
It’s about converting base metals to gold.. he told me.. inner alchemy is all about converting your negative energies to positive.. then you are Gold!! Indeed .. I concur

I sign off
Keep rockin
