Okay here I am enjoying a three day break ( read ‘A forced break’) So thought of finishing the promised blog and complete reading the book ‘love in the time of cholera’.
I started writing this blog on a very auspicious day; lohri and bhogi (both has bon fire) which signifies cleansing oneself and to start afresh!! Well may be I too need to look back; understand everything happened till now; count pros n cons and start some new works... I started to repeat certain mistakes twice..especially when dealing with people!! Need to avoid it.
1) A friend sent a request to participate in a blogger competition!! I am supposed to write something inspirational to win the competition it seems!
I mean , can someone sit and tell himself ‘okay buddy you are going to inspire the world ; so lets write something like that!!’.. lol.. I write for the pure esthetic love of writing; there were days when I just write whatever I get in my mind; not even the full stuff and I patiently wait for the remaining idea to flash and finish of the stuff!! And of all the things I write as an observer; so to target my mind to write something fixed is almost imposible!!
Then once again comes the burning topic ‘ Inspiration’ . One of my junior wrote the following words once!! ‘There is so much of Life in Life’.. amazing words write.. and one girl wrote some beautiful words in a review.. ‘I loved him and I hated him when I read his book’.. man such beautiful words.. aren’t they enough to inspire you to write and to get along; Do we need anything more than life and the situations everyday to inspire; Words; books; Movies; music ; poetry and even roasted almond ice cream is inspiring( Lets add coffee for a junior of mine) .. I am in absolute love with this beautiful world. Must say I literally love everything.
I met a friend of mine some days back; we studies together when in Ratnam in long term!! He used to say that he would start a company by himself and I used to say that I would be a film maker. Funnily when we met after 7 years; there he was ; he started a company ‘FWD architects’ and me afil maker. I was so glad to meet him!! We kept talking for 4 hours and the conversation was very interesting. The best one was; ( his own words) ‘ There is a lot of difference between practicals and theory; I went to the site for the first time; Mastri is manually mixing cement and sand; I went to him and told him that these should be measured and mixed in proper quantities!! He looked at me as if I was a kid; he said things cant be done like that; we mix then first; we hold the mortar in hands and we feel the composition and make the changes!! Else it takes years mixing the stuff”... lol excellent one!! .he also added” now i am good ; I am understanding practical parts well and I am able to manage people myself.And I just watch movies many times just to get the architecture they use!”.. awesome words; well said buddy!!
Yup there will be some tough testing times ; Here I am almost broke; stuck up at the very last work and lost money to an ass and going through torture for 50 days to complete the work soon and I already spent almost 2 years on this project !! but I keep telling myself ; bad times do come; and still keeping my best efforts and waiting for lady luck to help me!! After all facing these harsh things at the early part of career makes you ready to face tougher situations. Someone sent me this message message yesterday “ Hard work; adventure and Love form the very core of a Man’s Life’; well said buddy you can count me in!! And definitely people who enjoy this enjoy everything in their lives!!
Oh my god; I don’t know about you; But I feel motivated enough to fill pages like this lol...
2) There was this fellow rakesh ( his father n my father are friends.) who speaks very very little. If you speak thousand words he might as well reply with a nod or something like a wave!! And his father Venkateswarlu is a perfect opposite; he can talk non stop on anything; I am one those poor fellows who faced the wrath; for he 2 hours class after I quit my job darn it ( that too on a railway station!! When i am 25!!).. its more than my Dad’d and Mom’s class.. Anyways This man used to a call a colleague as chimpangee in home!!
One fine the day same colleague came to his house; and rakesh opened the door!! I never why he said so; the guy never talks much literally shouted “ father; that man Chimponzee came”.. lol
I laughed the hell out of me when I was a kid; even now; we occasionally mention this home and laugh..!! lol.
3) One fine day; I was sitting in the last bench in Honorable Sarkar’s MOS class (HOD MEMME) and reading my novel seriously. I didn’t know that the guy next to me took panga (read ‘a fight’) with this professor!! .. I was so seriously involved in the story I as usual and forgot the surrounding; suddenly the next guy poked !! ( not the guy who fought with professor). Before I got into this world the damge is done; Professor asked this rebel fellow a question ( as it is customary for every professor to target rebel kids) and he didn’t answer!! And he is shouting next one; next one!! I stood up an as I didn’t know the question; there is no way I answer; I had to say “ I don’t know the answer”.
“Get out both of you!!” sarkar roared. Its easy for him; but its tough for an engineering student to loose attendance after sitting for half an hour in class. Anyways we left.
My friends came and informed that; the question he asked , was to show the normal direction for the black board!! ..lol.. life is funny!!
And the best was; I was sitting in KD’s class day creaming as usual ; and he questioned us ; ‘Anyone here who doesn’t have first class GPA?’. As i was the only guy; I stood up. I think he thought of motivating me.. so
Ha said “ You must work hard to make it 7 srikanth; you must get first class’.
And all the fellows started laughing; damn it; I mean I should laugh first; who the hell are these suckers; to laugh at me before I laugh.
Anyways he understood the situation and resumed his class!!
But my bond KD was unforgettable!! He took atleast 6-7 Viva voce but I never answered once in any of them ; and there were times he shouted “Bhag saale bhag” out of frustration but even then took me in for my final year project and blessed me with a ‘B’. And helped me in getting a degree!! Thank u sirji thank u!!
Keep rockin

Women in Movies!! (particularly Indian women)
Man I don’t know why; Whatever I am writing now a days is very serious .. lol
Once again I took a serious topic.. lets see how it turns out
If someone asks me whats the first woman character you remember in any of the movies you saw!!
It must be and it will be Maggie fitzgerald in million dollar baby!! The shear energy of the character fascinated me!! No doubt the effort the leading role kept on it was awesome!!
She asks a coach to train her; he rejects her flat!!
Maggie: if you train me right i'm gonna be a champ, i've seen you looking at me.
Coach: Yeah out of pity.
Maggie: Dont' you say that,
dont you say that if it aint true.
I want a trainer, i dont want charity,
and i dont want favors,
If your not interested than
I got more celebrating to do.
Such confidence and self assurance!! Kudos to east wood!!
( Most of the examples I used here are from regional films; I hope others can get along with the examples)
Basically I am not a feminist for sure; But i do believe in equality !! and of all the things in professionalism !!;
Consider most of the foreign movies ; they place a character absolutely necessary and they treat every relation with care; relation between a father or son; teacher and a student ; even in those action;sex drugs and babes movies!! They do treat the characters perfectly; Basic instinct is absolutely professional; yup he wanted a sexy thriller and yes he made it!! They want to show something and they pretty well show it!! There ends the issue.
But in India they treat women characters as a commodity and as a selling stock;they use the word ‘ so and so added Glamour to the movie!!’ god knows why they keep inserting female roles in a movie; one; two .. and even three in some movies .. and guess what not even a single character is neccesary out there!! Flesh business is very good; I appreciate it very well; make porn and release in DVD’s ; this is atleast honest!! These heroines keep giving interviews that exposing is a part of their job which they have do.. lol.. and the best joke is if a heroine is playing the role of a prostitute.. she is a great actress.. ha ha ha.
My roomie and myself were two peculiar kids in college!! We just loved movies and we used to discuss characters all night and we were like minded!! We watched very few but our logics very well matched; even now I discuss stories occasionally with him.
I remember this; A gang of 20 people were watching a movie named ‘ Arya’ in a room!! And guess what every one where enjoying the movie; I mean there were these three dumb( read dumbest) characters I have ever seen!! The main character knows everything about love and runs after a girl who is already in love with a villain; this villain never knew why he loved the girl and the best is the girl character . she literally doesn’t know anything.. keeps nodding for everything!!
There were some awesome dialogues from Hero like “ let the three of us sit at a place and start loving “ !! Man how can any person with a sane mind write that crap .. and guess what thats a block buster!!
My roomie and I laughed all night reminding ourselves every crap dialogue in the movie;
I thought atleast girls will avoid the movie; but a girl pinged me and next day ; and started telling how much she connected herself to the girl character!! It seems she felt that she found her true love.. indeed .. indeed.. very true.. god bless her!!
And there was this movie ‘Murari’ !! People keep saying that director portrays heroines in a very very beautiful (Read traditional and yet sexy) and that sonali bender was very beautiful in the movie
As usual my roomie and me watched the movie.. She is really beautiful thats for sure!! But why the hell they added that character in that socio fantasy.. that was our very question? Most of the first this hero keeps teasing the girl and in the second part she understands how smart the hero is and falls in love; and the total track isn’t necessary in the movie; given a scissor I would have cut the total reels shot with that girl and you will see no difference!! Its as if director telling us; here you are!! I offer you a dumb beautiful girl!! Enjoy..
And Man; these guys add up these women characters !! the hero keeps hitting villains and the girl will be next to him and admiring !! and if the director is more romantic; he carries the girl in his lefthand and keeps hitting the villains and occasionally keeps kissing the girl; for energy I think..
Even when I work on a story; people ask me what is there in this for girls!! Are they sepearte creatures or something for whom we need to dedicate sometime?? If a character is good a boy or a girl will enjoy it thats it!!
Here I am tortured for three more hours by another dumb movie ; the hero(police officer) loves a girl and he is officially requested to love another girl ( because her father is a don and police need to catch him!!) and hero struggles loving 2 girls!!
Its high time ; we treat women as women !! they do think ; they do work hard; they are competing like hell with boys!! Ofcourse I see girls who are equally frustrated as boys and drinking in bars!!
What ever it is; good or bad; be reasoble when you deal with a character!! Especially when you deal with a woman add some grace to the character; this is our culture!!
Hope I see some excellent movies with strong characters. And indeed a team i know is planning to work on an character like that; I am all excited to become a part in it..
Hope that rocks!!
And guys next time I am going to write something very comical!! I hear too many complaints now a days thats that my jokes are very bad!! ( My roomie long back told advised me “Challa; never try to make a comedy movie ; because you laugh too much for silly jokes and you will be the only guy in the theatre who will laugh.. and this suggestion is being repeated many a times now a daysby may people; Some people are even scared I think.. ha ha)
I will come back hard on my critics ; await my next post for my answer.. lol .. lol
Keep rockin

Unconditional Love!!
Warning: This is a very very dark and an A rated blog!! People who prefer not to read such content on Love please avoid it!! And by the way a very very happy new year!!Cheers
Let me start with a favourite quote of mine in Dead Poets society!
“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”
For the past month; I am absolutely out of creative work!! I think all the work I did was call technicians ;ask for their time to do color correction for ‘Song of life’ and then listen their excuses !! To sit out of work is tough; and then to sit out of work when you are being flooded with new ideas is tougher!! and the toughest is to sit out work and plead others to complete the work!!.. ha ha
Getting back to the topic!!
Recently ; I read some excellent ballads about a legend named Munemma (the saintess) in a friends FB account; very very stirring indeed ; When I came to know that he is planning to make a movie out of it; I was all excited and I pinged him right away asking for a chance to assist him!! You know ,the simple thought of being part of a film filled with good old folks songs seduced me.. the thought of spending nights listening to songs that were long gone is awesome aint it?? I rushed to the nearby store and bought the book!!
The story was amazing ; Back drop is pre independence time; It starts by introducing three characters; A wife, husband and a bull; Husband runs this bullock cart to make a living; They say the bull was born on the same day of their marriage and they consider the bull as a part of the family and the husband treats the bull as his own brother!! One fine day every while this husband and wife are working on a field; this bull gets excited and treats the wife as a cow and places its fore legs on her!! ( plz don’t ask me how!!but the bull is attracted towards her) the husband watches this and gets fired up; and starts beating the bull to death; maybe he loves it too much ; so instead killing it he decides to sell it off in a fair!!
The very next day, he starts his journey to the fair which is some 40kms from his village ; He tells his wife he would be back in three days!!But the bull returns to the house on 4th day without the husband!! And this lady starts an epic journey in search of her lost husband!!
It has everything; A strong woman; mystery; folk ballads... and of all the things its a story of unconditional love!! Its a page turner and has some very good literature.
But I had my doubts regarding the story in some parts;Especially I wanted to know the directors perspective of the movie first!! So I met with the sir (Mahesh); who is working on this project and one more film enthusiast (Venu) was there luckily..
And this blog is a part of our discussions...
Me: It was amazing sir; I am in love with the book; but I have some doubts; As you will be the director; I wanted to ask you some questions to know your perspective!!
Mahesh : yeah tell me
Me: What are the feelings of the lady towards the Bull!! I mean she pretty knows the situation but still she will be nice with the bull.
Mahesh: We don’t know about that; writer wilfully didn’t write anything about it; but what he wrote is true; humans and animals love each other; i am not talking about sex in an usual way here; I am talking about love.
And we need to prove the point of the lady’s love towards her husband too !!
We open with a drama; in which a king kills an innocent man; the wife of that innocent man makes a war to destroy the whole kingdom!!
Now; our fellow n wife will watch this movie; and he questions his wife; are you going to the same if something happens to me?
She replies that she didn’t understand the story!! But when she faces the same situation;she reacts bravely ; and the initiation started here!!
Venu : pretty interesting; i too want read this book write away!! Characters look great.
Me: Thats genious sir; we have everything in this story and the starting absolutely rock ; I would love to work on this; Its going to be a real challenging task; It was my dream to work on folk.
And one more doubt ! why do u think she made that journey? The husband was never that good do her; and we don’t see much love between them?
Mahesh: We will establish that point in the movie; we will keep a love making scene in the night before he leaves to the fare; and he tells her that he loves her more than anything else!!
And then its all about showing that passion of hers!! Its a bold act and people will love it; these things cant be explained ; they should be felt.. I think its futile to search logic for these things!!
This is Unconditional love; They say teenage people should not love; but i never saw any emotion so pure; they wont calculate anything!!Thats a pure emotion.. untouched.Look at the people now; after they grow up they check the bank accounts; backgrounds and kids future before they love!! And they almost believe thats the only way they live.
Venu: Correct sir; When I was in school; I used to love my teacher; she was so fascinating for me; she is out there literally commanding us; guiding us; i don’t know why ; god! I loved her.
Me: ha ha ha; yeah mine is with a girl who used to guide me in project; all the same ; the same fascination.
( And then we kept talking about movies and life for 3 hours; we talked about RDB; Ghost rider; some Bengali movies ; good old telugu movies; the other two guys told me their experiences; and for a fresh guy like me they were fascinating!!)
And Whatever it is; I just feel this would be a great learning experience..
( Ps:- What I wrote here are not my personal views; I wrote the things as it is; I saw different people who are passionate about different things; I know people who drink every day; I know people who love dogs more than people; I know people who spoilt their lives in the name love as kids; and I know some awesome love stories too!; I know people who live for music and nothing else;
All kinds of freaks; and I know people who watch everything in the life as an outsider; I see people who just wish the time would move on; and people who work hard like hell!! all are very good friends to me; and I can never know why they act like that!!..)
This is a strange and funny world huh!!
Good luck everyone!!

A film makers agony!!
I am writing the this blog in great pain!! Bcoz it really hurts to see excellent talent being wasted..
Either resources or time of young people!!
A movie named Orange released recently.. I didn’t see the movie and I don’t have anything against it or any attachment to it!! But I see people fighting in the name of the movie!!
There are two groups ( families involved) in the industry and some movie sites support some families!! All kinds of politics.. well .. industry is like that they fight for power .Its none of my business!!
But worst thing is my friends are fighting over it!! I mean if you want to see a movie watch it; if you like it watch it again; else don’t watch it; why the heck you guys have to fight over people whom you don’t know personally!! If something happens to you none are going to turn up and say you were my fan and I will help you !! Hard fact is; they don’t even know you guys.... accept the fact!!
20 – 30 is the best age to work hard and to decide your paths; If you think if you are absolutely fine with what you are doing and have excess time ; use it for something useful.. there is enough around you to find something challenging .. just look around you .. explore it.
Audience are funny people. Believe me for the past 6 years or something very few movies came up with an original story!! Every movie made is a mix for 5-6 previous movies and still audience give block busters to the industry!! They don’t even think once what they are watching; they even started enjoying cheap comedy and repeated stories .. same plot points .. either faction; or love stories, and funniest part is; some use words like; this was totally different story depicting a new dimension of love ; and let me tell you what is the difference in it.. instead of plain love story ; they show heroine is in love with a villain and finally hero makes her understand that hers ain’t true love!! Holy crap!! Most of the people directly agree that all they expect in a movie is entertainment nothing else!! Well this entertainment came to such a stage.. they are not even thinking whether they are watching a genuine movie or a movie copied from 6-7 other movies with scenes shuffled!! It is such a pity!! Isnt this a cheap thing!! If you watch a movie telling yourself; I need an instant emotion every moment you will miss something that is really classy.. something that will stay with you for a long time.. Guys I have this doubt?? Are people watching movies just to get some relief in their lives.. not for the sake of the art?? Any emotion thats really pure will stay with you for a long time!! So if you just don’t wanna stick to something you are definitely going to miss something very precious.
As long as you keep watching these same kind of movies; people are going to make these kind of movies only!!
Audience are funny but film industry is real funny!! Hollywood invests well on technicians but we invest on Individuals!! We invest so much on leading directors and actors and we invest very less on writers and thats the one of the reasons we never make something that has some standard!!
I met some directors and film makers; they just ask you one question after listening to the story? What is the commercial aspect of this? I wanna ask them !! what do you mean by commercial aspect? Movie making is all about taking a storyto narrate it and to show it on screen; if you project properly It will be a hit! Sankarabharanam made crores at that time to the investors; and the lead role is played by an old man!! Its the concept you take that really matters and how you present it.
Koreans; Italians; French.. even Spanish people are making some excellent movies and are making waves in international market!! Just watched secret in their eyes (Spanish) and I just wondered when are we going to make movies like this!!
And whats happening now; they take up an already proven story ; add some unrelated comedy and throw it out and we watch it!!
Making movies is not just a mere business; its an art!! And we want artists out there not businessmen. Unless you are ready to take the risk and you are ready to leave everything ; you cant get your best!!
A bird is supposed to fly!! There lies the beauty!! If it hides in its nest assuming the risk of getting shot... its a waste life anyway..
In last years Block buster movie ‘Magadgeera’; first 10 minutes were reshot from an old movie of the heroes father. Did the director didn’t have the story to introduce the hero? Suppose you screen this to an international audience ; people will laugh at it!! And some was promoting a movie saying that its a movie that reflects telugu culture and the first scene I see is a song showing Samantha in shorts and mini’s exposing like hell!!
Come out of your fathers; grand fathers image!! A movie is supposed to be a movie; its has nothing to do with any ones back ground!!
I was watching some of the scenes of Johnny ( Its a telugu movie made by Pawan Kalyan ( hero cum director).Some of the shots were very good ; the light and back ground were very good and definitely he kept lots of time and effort in it!! Thats really an honest effort and though it was a flop I thought he would come up something much much better next time!!
But he immediately left all the experiments and entered into typical movies again and is struggling for his existence!!
It really hurts to see people with talent not using to the maximum!!
Is there anything we need to prove others? We are here to make honest efforts and create something better!!
God save the Industry!! And especially god save these addicts!!
Keep Rockin

Either resources or time of young people!!
A movie named Orange released recently.. I didn’t see the movie and I don’t have anything against it or any attachment to it!! But I see people fighting in the name of the movie!!
There are two groups ( families involved) in the industry and some movie sites support some families!! All kinds of politics.. well .. industry is like that they fight for power .Its none of my business!!
But worst thing is my friends are fighting over it!! I mean if you want to see a movie watch it; if you like it watch it again; else don’t watch it; why the heck you guys have to fight over people whom you don’t know personally!! If something happens to you none are going to turn up and say you were my fan and I will help you !! Hard fact is; they don’t even know you guys.... accept the fact!!
20 – 30 is the best age to work hard and to decide your paths; If you think if you are absolutely fine with what you are doing and have excess time ; use it for something useful.. there is enough around you to find something challenging .. just look around you .. explore it.
Audience are funny people. Believe me for the past 6 years or something very few movies came up with an original story!! Every movie made is a mix for 5-6 previous movies and still audience give block busters to the industry!! They don’t even think once what they are watching; they even started enjoying cheap comedy and repeated stories .. same plot points .. either faction; or love stories, and funniest part is; some use words like; this was totally different story depicting a new dimension of love ; and let me tell you what is the difference in it.. instead of plain love story ; they show heroine is in love with a villain and finally hero makes her understand that hers ain’t true love!! Holy crap!! Most of the people directly agree that all they expect in a movie is entertainment nothing else!! Well this entertainment came to such a stage.. they are not even thinking whether they are watching a genuine movie or a movie copied from 6-7 other movies with scenes shuffled!! It is such a pity!! Isnt this a cheap thing!! If you watch a movie telling yourself; I need an instant emotion every moment you will miss something that is really classy.. something that will stay with you for a long time.. Guys I have this doubt?? Are people watching movies just to get some relief in their lives.. not for the sake of the art?? Any emotion thats really pure will stay with you for a long time!! So if you just don’t wanna stick to something you are definitely going to miss something very precious.

Kolkata Tales!!
Every city offered me something!! Chennai offered me such an exotic beach!! I still remember the days when I watched that beautiful sunrise over the sea!!
Hyderabad offers you the best food in south India.. just put up 5 kgs in 20 days!! Damn it!!
If its Kolkata its all about art; Just visited Nanda theatre yesterday where a film festival is running.
So much crowd out there; you can never find audience like Kolkata people.. after all greatest literary and movies came from Bengalis only.. Kolkata rocks!!
1) I met an awesome person today!! He is my senior 1980 pass out; he worked for 16 years in TCS and finally quit his job and started creating some work shops...
He gave me some excellent points..
“ I realised a bit late that I am wasting my time a lot; so I resigned my job in TCS. I was making almost 2 lakhs per month by that time.. and people thought I am a mad man to leave everything.. then he confined himself in a room; and designed some workshop.. though I make only 20k now; I am really enjoying my work a lot now!! And I am enjoying every second of it and I have enough free time too..I can meet young people like you and can discuss new ideas!!”
I generally prefer to avoid people over 35 !! all they speak of is their past was great but life is very boring as of now!! But he is very different!! He speaks with endless positive energies!!
He also added “ i never think of past.. its gone!! And I try to concentrate on the many things in this world i need to learn”
I know this looks a bit like funda.. but I didn’t expect such a talk from him!! Pretty interesting...one of the few who talked like this !!
I know one more person; his name is uma maheswar rao;; met him recently.. I seems he read in a polytechnic college and joined railways!! Then he studied while working and became an engineer there; before crossing 40 he wrote some exam and left to London. Got a chance to meet him recently!! I heard he is a man of precision...
he told me “ i learnt one thing in life; earn like hell; save some of it and spend other equally fast.. and now I saved enough; I just wanna see new places now; I am going to quit soon and I made sure I get constant money through my investments!!
My daughter is also follow my footsteps; she wanna work for 6 months and travel for 6 months”
( no doubt he inspired her)
And may be I too liked him a lot!!
Wish I could meet guys like them..
2) I was chatting with a junior of mine
Junior: Sir; i could sleep much now a days.. I always used to love my sleep..
Me: yeah ; even i was wondering the same; i thought u were an early to bes stuff
Junior: usd to be; but no more!!
Me: oh; either ur a stressed up or totally stress free.. lol
Junior: definitely ; no the second one; I don’t know about the first one
Me: not very optimistic; do you have any troubles!!
Juniors: ofcourse yes sir;I am just at the start of my career; I need get a job; then family kids..
( lol.. believe me guys this is the most hilarious excuse I ever heard; according to this theory.. the kid just born.. has the biggest difficulty; he needs to mug for 20 years.. lol;
I just wonder; we have so many things; he have everything provided for and we are well read.. what the heck; cant we make our living; i can definitely find a 5k job any day; then whats there to worry about.. lets just rock guys!!
Definitely ponder on this for sometime ..
PS:- working on a story seriously.. gotta take a big break from my blog..

Some new stuff!!
I am back with a big big big blog!!
Technically speaking I am at a great loss; but personally I am at my best!!... I was really great to watch Rahul Dravid batting a complete day!! And that too after long long time!!
And as a person.. he is the best!! Just read the words he spoke after such a beautiful innings.
“ Sometimes you get the results ; sometimes you don’t. But thats life, thats cricket and thats sports. I dont think about what people are saying as long long as i am doing whats needed to be done!!”.. who in this world can speak like this!!
Lets start with some beautiful words one of my junior sent me!!
"I would rather be ashes than dust!!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time."
1) One of my junior gifted me a book on Keats !! the only problem with that is; I try reading two stanzas and then I don’t get anything in it; so I kept that aside.
I constantly remind myself “ Son; ur IQ is very less; you are meant to read a harry potter if not some travel journals like motorcycle diaries ..!! But too much serious stuff just leaves you with a head ache..
yeah yeah i did try reading that ‘God of small things’ once and darn it...I can never explain that feeling!! I felt that this world is a horrible place ; full of domination and senselessness.. and I got scared.. I felt a different feeling after reading some part of ‘atlas shrugged’ too.. this world is full of hatred!!
So when someone suggested me “white tiger” I ran away from him!! I mean what’s the point in choosing a book thats depressing!!
But then we cant watch and read everything either!! Someone from college asked me
” mama; why don’t you watch the movies we watch; how will you get entertained?”
I do accept that !! entertainment is very important; but then the term entertainment is relative.. i just cant watch some movies; they just irk me upi mean how can you watch a movie if you u can easily see that the movie is a mix of some 5-6 previous ones!! But then I absolutely have no problem if you watch those movies unless you force to watch them with you.And i am reasonably fair!! I can sit and watch the movie as long as you stick to the character and try to show something honest and professional!!
2) After watching my ‘Song of Life’ ( some people left in between the movie too) some asked me “ why there is no plot in the movie?”..well because thats the way I wanted make this movie!! I just wanted to show what exactly happens in an engineering college ( with hostel facility).
I do accept there are many technical mistakes in continuity and some low budget adjustments; but i am pretty happy that i stuck to my script and i got the best out of what I could get!!
And it was indeed a pleasure when some bloggers approached me and said that they really loved the movie;and it was better than ‘happy days’for we feel ‘happy days’ is a fantasy where as yours is absolutely real; I could just place myself in all scenes; it made me nostalgic!!
I absolutely loved his words!! Thats the only thing I wanna do!! Instead of making typical commercials; make movies ; which I would love to make and to find people who love these kind of movies.. may be I can try to go glabal.. else work in some company earn some money and then make a movie and release it for free online!! No issues an no worries!!
I was explaining this excellent of idea of mine to one my friend ; he questioned me “ Son; are you really planning to settle in life or not?
The answer to this question is pretty tough? What the hell is settled life ; and there are no guarantees in life!! If I need to find to find a girl; I will run after a singer or some artist who wouldn’t care for anything expect art.. I was just reading the interview of a dancer!!
She said “ After marriage I understood some excellent feelings!! I improved in a lot in expressions ; especially ‘Gopika pining for Krishna’ you need great understanding to emote it”..
And the money to survive; yaar.. this is a damn big world full of opputunities!! What say?
Damn it its too serious stuff... anyways ; its going to take a long time!!
3) As I always said ; this is a funny world!!.. even if you suffering ; you can still laugh at it. There was this small kid; she went to wear her shoes before starting fireworks on Diwali. I laughed at her ; saying that these Kids are over cautious!! And in 5 mins I messed up my leg and had been limping till now... lol.. and I recently forgot a laptop while editing and reached with the charger!!
I went to banglore last month!! I met a junior of mine; he is well known for his stand-up comedies.. we were talking some chitchat in Dominos!!
Raghavan: These software jobs are not for me sir!! I am bored!! I am planning to become a professor or something; I started doing my BA in philosophy..
Me: excellent; very interesting bro!!
( They served us some pizzas)
Raghavan: Or else; I want to do something related to food!! May be become a server in a hotel or something like that..
Me: lol.. awesome man.. better become a chef then!!
Raghavan: thats a good idea; but being a vegetarian I cant cook non -veg Items because I cant taste them!! So becoming a waiter is a better option. I told my mom the same.. she told me ; don’t talk like this son;if you want to do something start a hotel; plz don’t become a waiter!!
Me: ( I couldn’t stop laughing) okay then start a hotel!!
Raghavan: no sir; organising is not my cup of tea; Some should tell me do this; then i will do it properly and perfectly..
( man; this guy will make u laugh like hell)
Raghavan: I recently visited a Chinese restaurant too; and I asked him if I need to do any courses to join as a server here.. But i did a mistake sir; I went in full formals with a dell bag; Owner asked me why I wanted to do this and rejected me. Its a big mistake sir!!
( This is the heights of comedy!! I just wish I could get a photo of that owner when he asked for the job as a server.. lol.. lol)

Ideas!!
Its raining for the past 10 days; and I am busy exploring food stalls in Hyderabad!! Must say everything is at its best.. so ideas are in full flow!!
Yesterday I met some professional bloggers at one place and my next meeting was after 2 hours and it was raining heavily!! I just sat at a sidewalk and kept watching people crossing the road for two hours.. that was an awesome experience.. its one of the ways I know to empty everything in mind and just sit there and enjoy the rain.. remembered the days when I used sit in a small bench opposite main building in ISM and watch everyone walking in the road!! That’s Awesome aint it!! Just to sit there and ponder on new ideas which you wanna explore…
Getting back to the topic … this blog is all about ideas.. I was recently taking to a friend of mine!! I was telling him that I am working on a Chak-de kind of movie!! Dea is to explore 2 generations as the story flips present generation story writer and a previous generation badminton player!! He replied me “ everyone has ideas and the are good; but exploring the total idea and finishing it is the tough part”.. well sad bro.. I completely agree with you; even I too feel the same; I too have loads of ideas but I put very few on the paper; may be I started writing this blog just to put those unfinished ideas too on the paper;
Now that the movie is done!! I am totally working on its promotion. Technically speaking this is not my cup of tea; I wish I could stick to the creative aspects of the movie making; but working on promotion is also cool; I am travelling places and screening at different places!! And I am exploring new ways and ideas to promote the movie to get back my returns. One of my friend told me “ you were talkin to your self in your sleep yesterday. You were saying” that’s a very good idea!! We must try it””..lol I am totally involved in promotion. After all it gives me a chance to meet some business people and to understand there thoughts!!
Life is all about learning..
One freaky idea; if you are really in need for money ; try writing the following books ; “ 10 effective ways to mange your parents” .. this will be a block buster hit among students!!
I did hear a complaint on my movie; that my movie has no plot!! Don’t expect any plots in my movie; I just try to depict life; they will be slow and will be realistic.. that’s the only way I make movies
But then I did make many mistakes and there were some constraints too.. will definitely try to improve for my next movie.. cheers
Keep rockin
