It was a long time since I wrote something; I am indeed missing writing a lot!!
Darn it I didn’t even read a book from February.. But then I love my work ; I took up more works myself and I am pretty much indulged in it so nothing much I can do; may be once the project is done I might run off to Rishikesh ; and sit near ganges and write some beautiful lines and come back with a fresh story!! A perfect way to replenish myself huh !! ..
1) I got some doubts.. I am searching for some reasons!!
a)Why do I write?? May be I just love to write!!
b) Why do I blog?? Writing a story or screenplay is a refined, slow process; but blogging is something like; drop in your views ; no need to edit kind of stuff.
And I write what I feel is correct ;down the line after many years I might love what I wrote or I might not love it; but I should know what I thought!! So I write.
c)why do I share the link? Well that needed some thought… when I watch a good film I feel happy and I thank the guys involve the project involved in it; similarly there might be people who might love my works; I can as well write the stuff and shoot the stuff and keep it to myself ; it doesn’t matter; but I think I can share the work.. if some one likes it well and good; this can be more interactive!! What ever I am crazy enough to shoot a film and keep it to myself if I have bucks!! Crazy indeed!
2) Speaking of writing! Lemme me jump to Passion!! I was having a chat with my director and he told me about a person who waited for 9 months to shoot a song!!
I say that’s passion.. You don’t start something just to finish it off; you work on something because you love it and you wanna do it. When it will finish and whether others like it or not is not the issue.. the point is did you give your best or did you love it.. Let some things remain unfinished.. that doesn’t matter .. you did what you can do.. !
Now the movie I was speaking about is a telugu film ‘Little soldiers’ .. God knows why it was a flop but its one of the sweetest films ever made in Telugu; I love everything in the film!! And there is one small girl’s song which I can listen everyday!! 3 cheers to the film maker gunnam ganga raju!!
Another such film was Pather Panchali by Satyajit ray.. He started to make a film in 1950 and shot it in weekends while working on a job and finished in 1955 overcoming all the obstacles and he did create history with the film.. Can some one believe the fact that he waited for a complete year just to shoot some scenes in a particular scenes for some grass to grow in a area!!
That’s what love is all about.. Gimme a story that deserves a life time work!! I can dedicate my full time to it!!
3)I don’t know why but I get know about people easily.. I may be I love to know about people too.. I learn a lot from what they talk ( I am obviously not speaking about character development or money related tasks).
I met a writer yesterday; we both had to wait at a place and so we went for a walk to kill time.. here comes his story!!
Loved movies when he was a kid!! So read rigourously all telugu book to write songs in telugu. He said sometimes he feels the only reason he lives is to write lyrics even his family is next to it.. working hard for a break in the industry.
Couldn’t directly jump into the industry because because he had a family .. married early. Still took the brave step to Hyderabad and started working as a telugu teacher in a private school and started searching for an opportunity.
I know that the pay is very less for a language teacher in a private school.. I asked him how did he survive??
Yes indeed it was struggle for 4 -5 years!! I even sold an episode serial dialogues for 500 bucks which were supposed to cost 5K!! and its like every month end it was a struggle!! When summer comes .. It was a torture for me.. when kids are on holidays It was a real struggle for me.Used to take 3-4 tuitions.
I wonder how lucky I am !! Indeed !! The struggle of an artist is awesome and pure!!
I am in a flow.. Lemme write ine more incident!!
I once went to Higginbothams in chennai on a Sunday at night ( yup some one told me it will be open on Sundays and closed on Tuesdays.. and I believed it.. the fool I am).. well I reached the place by 5.30 and it was closed and I waited for half hour but my bus never turned up.
So finally I decided to take an auto.. And believe to take an auto in Chennai isn’t a joke; if he things if you don’t know the route he might as well charge you 100 bucks for 3 kms.. ( No offence to Chennai city I love it ) so finally I did act as If I know the route and we decided on some 60 bucks and we started.
We started chit chatting!! I don’t know tamil and he doesn’t know telugu.. so we were using some bits of himdi.. whatever we understood each other!
Autowallah: what do you do brother?
Me: I work in a call centre ( If I say I work as a software engineer ; I am sure he will ask for more money at the end )
Autowallah: Oh brother ; what is your salary
Me: ( I wondered what to say) Its 10 k rupees. ( is he talking too much!)
Autowallah : 10k as a starter; but friend don’t mary early.. earn some more money only then you get married!!
Me: ( I got interested) Oh why??
Autowallah : Look at me ; loved a girl and ran off with her at a early age; didn’t study well; Now I am working on a Sunday night to support my family!!
Me: aah.. how come you speak good hindi!!
Autowallah: I went to Mumbai to try my luck.. it was bitter failure brother; only rich people can survive there.. we the poor will be fucked!!
Me: yeah yeah.. indeed brother..
( then he told me about his kids and how much he loved them and all..) and finally we reached my place. I thanked him for the conversation and left!!
Some experiences are weird.. if you have any such things you can definitely tell me … I am all ears..
PS:-) I heard a complaint recently that I acted very tough with my team song of life!! I am really sorry for that .. believeme guys.. you people rocked and I loved working with you; But.. If I had slacked believe me.. the project wouldn’t have been completed .. Catch me anytime when free now.. You will know how much fun I can be..
Keep rockin
3 cheers

Women!! Domination and Dowry!!
First things first!! I am not a feminist ; I am an equalist!! If someone is very very sensitive I request them not to read this!!
Well I had the chance to view some women's point of views on marriage. Funnily almost all the people complained about and funnily on the same issues!!( they are all well read!!)
1) If I marry someone he would dominate me!
2) Why would a boy ask for a dowry aren't we equals??
I wonder do they really think on the complaints before complaining.
I mean you need a guy who is well read than you , who is earning more than you and who is taller than you!! what the heck!! if he is better than you in every sense ofcourse he will dominate you ..why would he take you in for free.. aint it?? ( If you say "I am beaituful".. just run away !!)
If you are so particular about not giving dowry!! why dont you fight against it; make a decision that you wouldnt marry anyone till you find someone or stay alone!! you fight with your family and society.. I saw many people who gave long lectures and finally gave dowry and happily got married!! ...So if you cant fight.. then happily marry someone and serve him good and make him happy!!
Just dont go blaming men.. now.. now... why should we fight against dowry?? If government offers reservation we exploit it; same is the case here!!
ha ha ha.. ROFL
PS:-) Any chick with 2 crores property.. Man I am desperate to make my second feature.. ha ha ha

Ambition!!
This is the funniest word I ever heard in my life!!
last october i was screening my film in banglore and requested everyone to spread the word!!
One of my friend wrote the below word
" here is the guy; who has a dream like everyone of us. but he had the courage to leave his well pad job and follow his heart. Many of us dream of making a film but he made it!! please come to the screening on sunday... (blah blah....)"
Believe me ; thats bullshit; Honestly speaking I loved my job; I was very happy with the easy money I get at the end of every month and I just used to sit there used gtalk , orkut and had fun with everyone. I evev found a chick.. but had to leave everything.. thats another issue.
next part of the line says " he has a dream to make a film ". My dream is not about finishing of a film; my dream is to pursue my love; sometimes I might just write a story; sometimes I might make a film and sometimes I might just explore the lands hearing some local folk and make some beautiful albums. My dream is art and folk.. I just wanna explore them .. to seek is my purpose ..nothing else.
So when a person says I wanna work with a particular star and make a high budget movie; or when someone says I need to start an international businees; or get a job in US. I smile. For I have no ambitions; I am an ass lol.. and I know it.
i just took a week off and came to hometown; spent some good time with my brothers n sisters; and It was awesome!! may be life isnt about successes; failures n achievements.. its about moments.. moments of love and joy.
I look back; there were many people in my life; i loved; hated; enjoyed ; ridiculed;lusted; felt jealous; was over active; sometimes dumb; and sometimes perfect...
I wish i could leave all these and just live every moment... cheers
PS:- Dont think; I will stop harassing the people who work in my project!! I will be after you 24/7 .. till work is done..lol

Stories -2!!
Woke up very early; everyone is asleep around me ; happily started writing this blog; mood is pretty poetic!!
I think I need not tell you.. that this is going to be one damn lengthy one..lol..I will keep on writing this like a book; read till you can read!! Cheers
Lets start with a small dialogue of Mr. Samwise!!
Sam: Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?
There are many many things happening around me ; I just wish I have enough time to write down everything!!
Lets start with a joke; My tenth class crush got married when I was in Inter; and my inter girl got married in my Btech!! And my btech crush got married when I started song of life; and I think my latest babe would marry soon too.. the point is; if any girl is worried about not getting married; you can mail me your photo and if at all I like it; you will definitely get married soon!!.. ( a very very bad joke indeed..lol)
So to compensate this I will tell one more joke!! And friend and me were sitting together and we were watching “ Good will hunting” and as I was getting excited every moment this guy is getting restless. He got so frustrated and asked me “ god damn you ; do you really understand anything in it or you just pretend to understand this stuff; why don’t you watch Indian films like us!!” . This anger was in him for a long time I think and it finally came out …lol!! Joke ends here. Anyways I have absolutely have no issues with Indian films; as long as they are good I can happily watch them and may be I might even feel proud. And Its not that I watch other films for show off. I can tell you hundreds of bullshit Hollywood films!! Its just my love for films; you show me Italian ; french; Korean or even Taiwanese and Romanian also with proper subtitles I can watch them!! I repeat anything for movies.. I just love them.
And even my film reviews were mixed; some said it aint a film at all and some said they liked it very much; as I said I know people who just loved ‘ into the wild’ and some who just couldn’t watch it for more than 10 minutes. People are different in their back grounds and their tastes are different!! I absolutely agree with everyone’s reviews; for they watch films for their purpose. My target is to make my own kind of audience and to move on. One of my friend said “ it’s a heart touching innocent and refreshing film”.. I just loved those words.. I will keep making my kind of films what ever!!
1) I just started making a gang of small kids to play cricket in evenings nearby office; and indeed we are making a Lagaan team!! 3 cheers.. and by the way these guys ask for Ice everyday in our office . our director happily obliges them.. I do remember when I was a kid there was no fridge in our house and I used to cycle to my uncle’s house to get some ice to mix in ‘Rasna’… lol
Speaking of kids I visited a book release recently; and they intellects wee discussing about the importance of reading books; some good points were 1) reading books improve your analytical power; and decision making skills and will improve the communication skills!!
I don’t know all that; but instead playing all those computer games and watching TV; I prefer to take a book and would love to read it peacefully. There is great pleasure in it.
And when these hot discussions were going on Kids left the place and were busy playing in the grass nearby!! Kids rock..
2) Music!! Its divine; it makes you rock; cry; laugh and especially it makes you feel the beauty of life. One of the best arts I must say. I am absolutely fine with all kinds of music but my heart lies in Indian classic and folk!! I feel at peace. Personally I feel if western is about materialism and sex and ours is about spirituality and romance ( now please don’t argue about this; If you feel it isn’t so; I have no issues. But I just love folk!! It gives me the perfect resonance; they can be so unpredictable and so innocent; some of the songs were about the baby Krishna and his adventures; how they used to take there sheep for grazing and what sheep were games they used to play in afternoon and how they used to take they food in the forests in a group their fights !! oh my god ; its shear beauty… they are so innocent and the songs were never written down and they just spread as the groups sing these songs again n again… I just wish I could travel all these rural places and spend time with the folk singers and make some excellent personal collection of beautiful songs for myself.. I just love the idea!!
I had the pleasure of attending a carnatic concert recently; that was supposed to be a youth festival and funnily I only 20% were youth there; everyone were above 50 an we are so damn busy and we will fight to attend a Bryan Adams concert spending 10k for each ticket and we have no time to attend easterns even when they are near by and easily accessible. Pity.
But the concert was so beautiful; The lady had great patience and she almost sang for three hours; I started slowly and they reaches peaks;; she will sing continuously sing for 15 mins takes us to a high pitch and the violinist takes it from there to another level. Its as if they were in another world they are competing and their smiles and faces show that they are in love with their work. What more can I ask or.. It went beautifully!!
3) Let me try some tragic story .. well I met a school friend of mine some days ago; and we were discussing about friends and suddenly I remembered raj and I asked him “ how is raj?”.. “ why, does he owe you some money?” replied my friend. “ No dude ; was a good friend of mine; by the way why did you ask that?”. “ oh; he is searching for a job for four years and he couldn’t make it; so I thought he might asked your help”!!!
I was amazed to hear this. I just thought of those school days; I would say he isn’t the cleverest but he was good and I know people who were less intelligent than him who made it big; I never thought he would become like this.
Me: By any chance did he continue to run after that girl he tried in school
( well actually he was a good friend of mine; I used to help him in his studies and he used to buy me lots of junk stuff.. and like every good friend. I pretty well know that he is after a girl for a long time and funnily she tied him Rakhi but still he ran after blindly. And like every other Good friend (sarcasm) I told him to prepare for exams well and not to run after that girl.
I didn’t meet him after that till now as we stay in a different place.
Friend: Yes ; ho continued to run after that babe in inter and then again in B.Tech; I told him many a times; don’t do it; even her home is next to you; there will be lots of troubles. But he still continued it. Finally in Btech the girls parents came to know about this and there was a big fight and this fellow started to drink a lot from that time; he used to say : “my life is over”
Honestly I thought these sort things happen only in movies; but indeed his life was over; his btech was over and he just passed in every exam with a very low percentage!! And he couldn’t get a job till now!!Indeed a sad story!!
4) Life my friends is beautiful; new challenges and wesome work .. what more can I sk for!!
We recently travelled from Hyd to vizag in search of locations and artists; and indeed that was an awesome adventure; drive through twin godavari districts was awesome. We indeed breakfasted once on the bank of river Godavari once; that’s just amazing;
The room we stayed was a 9th floor penthouse with a beach view!! It was like we can sleep once we place ; better stay awake every moment we stay here and watch the beauty of the sea!! Indeed I remembered by beach view apartment stay in chennai. Thanks to Rahulji for his scooty drives ( we call it bull dozer..lol)
But the best experience was when a blind taught me the basics of Braille script; learning from was great; he was so excited in teaching me!! And I was amazed to know that they write from left to read and then reverse the paper and read right to left.. I couldn’t comprehend it; I tried to google it to find the answer… An hour went in vain but still know answer; but suddenly my colleague solved it; When we punch holes in Braille paper; and read it in the same order; it will be tough to sense the holes; But once we turn the paper upside down we can easily feel the bumps caused because of the holes punched!!
Indeed it’s a genius answer !!
Keep rockin
3 cheers

I think I need not tell you.. that this is going to be one damn lengthy one..lol..I will keep on writing this like a book; read till you can read!! Cheers
Lets start with a small dialogue of Mr. Samwise!!
Sam: Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?
There are many many things happening around me ; I just wish I have enough time to write down everything!!
Lets start with a joke; My tenth class crush got married when I was in Inter; and my inter girl got married in my Btech!! And my btech crush got married when I started song of life; and I think my latest babe would marry soon too.. the point is; if any girl is worried about not getting married; you can mail me your photo and if at all I like it; you will definitely get married soon!!.. ( a very very bad joke indeed..lol)
So to compensate this I will tell one more joke!! And friend and me were sitting together and we were watching “ Good will hunting” and as I was getting excited every moment this guy is getting restless. He got so frustrated and asked me “ god damn you ; do you really understand anything in it or you just pretend to understand this stuff; why don’t you watch Indian films like us!!” . This anger was in him for a long time I think and it finally came out …lol!! Joke ends here. Anyways I have absolutely have no issues with Indian films; as long as they are good I can happily watch them and may be I might even feel proud. And Its not that I watch other films for show off. I can tell you hundreds of bullshit Hollywood films!! Its just my love for films; you show me Italian ; french; Korean or even Taiwanese and Romanian also with proper subtitles I can watch them!! I repeat anything for movies.. I just love them.
And even my film reviews were mixed; some said it aint a film at all and some said they liked it very much; as I said I know people who just loved ‘ into the wild’ and some who just couldn’t watch it for more than 10 minutes. People are different in their back grounds and their tastes are different!! I absolutely agree with everyone’s reviews; for they watch films for their purpose. My target is to make my own kind of audience and to move on. One of my friend said “ it’s a heart touching innocent and refreshing film”.. I just loved those words.. I will keep making my kind of films what ever!!
1) I just started making a gang of small kids to play cricket in evenings nearby office; and indeed we are making a Lagaan team!! 3 cheers.. and by the way these guys ask for Ice everyday in our office . our director happily obliges them..

stories!!-- part 1—
I felt immense pleasure when I was writing this ( I wrote these words after completing the blog).. and Like it or not; I consider this as one of my best!!
One of the few things I really love are stories; fairy tales; fiction; what ever; i Just love to listen them ; I still remember the stories my mom's sister told me when I was a kid; she indeed has great talent in story telling; even now when when ever I go to my hometown I just keep listening to whatever she tells me!!
and maybe storytelling is my first love.
When I first saw the film sankarabaranam; I just couldnt sit in that place once the movie is done!! It was indeed like flying in the air; same was the case with motorcycle diaries or into the wild!! At the same time I loved reading Harry potter and lord of the rings.
I visited my hometown recently; I just sat with with my grand mother and we started discussing about her childhood.It turned out to be a 2 hour story telling; I felt so happy after listening to everything; I absolutely loved. I wonder if there is any better than a good story. It is sweeter than a sweet and beaitiful than a flower.. of all the things its immortal and will continue to live !!
Me: I see you reading a lot?? Did you study at school or you learnt at home?
grand ma: I studied in school till 8th standard. I read more than many of the boys in those days!! actually I thought of becoming a teacher ; but my mom didnt agree to it!! else I would become a teahcer.
me: wow.. till 8th; pretty good stuff; and where did you study?
granny: Is in the same railway school you studied!! we used to go to school early morning and it will be over by afternoon.. I will to play in the garden of my school teacher. They are white people and they dont have kids. they used to pamper me.
me: wow!! white people!!
granny: ofocurse ; thats before independence.
( wow; I have an educated granny who studied in a school before independence!!)
Me: what more??
granny: my father worked in railways!! he is the head clerk at that time; he can assign jobs to people; so gave railway jobs to most of our relatives; just took them without questions; and so most of our family still continue to work for railways!! it became hereditary..
( I just kept listening ; and continued to talk!!)
so all of us used to have railway passes!! 40 - 50 people used to join and plan pilgrimages; we used to carry a stove; rice bags; dal and everything; trains used to stop for a long time to fill coal; we used to cook on the station; and eat; e even used to carry laddus; and other eatables too!!
me: Oh god; you guys had so much of fun!! tell me more
(even she was very happy to talk to me; Most of us dont have the time to talk to them; and at the same time I talked many old people who talk shit; they keep bragging their son's 5 numbered salary and the ranks of his grand daughter..lol..)
granny: we visited kasi; ahmedabad; delhi at that time; and in south we visited every place; rameswaram; kanya kumari...
once we are going to Kasi; we missed a lady at a platform; her husband thought she is with us; and he kept smoking his cigar in his berth..
( ha ha ha.. man I simply loved this.. ha ha ha)
after 2 hours we understood that she isnt with us; some of us got down in the next station;
went back; she was sitting there and crying.. and they joined us in Kasi..
me: this superb.. so what about movies??
Granny: we had to go next village when were kids; we used to go in bullock carts to watch the films!! we used to stay at nights there sometimes; and watch the movie next day morning;
by the time I got married they built a theatre in out village; your grand pa used to go job early morning; so my work is to cook food early morning and pack him food. I am free till evening; I have many friend here; and we used to watch films again and again.
Your grand father used to be very angry on me; because I am going to movies every day!!
(lol.. lol.. its a pure beauty)
My mom pampered me a lot.. and I didnt change for a long time!! its a pretty old time; then I slowly got busy with kids
(she had seven children and my Mom is the second one)
I felt one thing after hearing this; I just wanted to unlearn myself; may be learning and unlearning is the only way to live!!
I look back; there are some wonder people I met and I saw some wonderful stories.
some good ; some bad!! may be thats life;; I just wanna blog everything one by one!! when I get free;
When I was a kid I was an ass!! May be surroundings made me one; I calculated my marks; I ran after teachers for marks; I mugged day and night!!
But I do remember the days I played cricket and hit the ball into neighbour’s house. Most of them used to shout at us; and we sometimes had to sneak into their house to get the ball.
I wanna make peace with them.. I forgive them all.. lol
I studied my 6th and 7th in navodaya; krishnapuram Nellore. That’s a government residential school ; which conducts exams after fifth; I wrote for fun and made it; first time I had stay out of my home; it was very tough for some days. But finally did it.
I remember a friend of mine; ( I forgot his name) a very poor kid; he used to wear the school uniform all day and if he isn’t wearing shoes he used to walk bare foot!! ( uniforms and shoes are supplied by school). Some how worked hard to make it in the exams; used to struggle a lot with English; we used to have parents meet every month; My parents used to come every month; but I never saw his parents; the ass I am I never helped him at that time; never shared any eatables or gave some helping hand!! Pity; yup I do accept helping everyone is not possible; but helping when you can is good; it helps you too. I just wish he is somewhere happy and better now!!
The explorer in me broke loose after my schooling; As Mr.meeks said.. I decided I would try everything once ( except sex)..lol
I remember my first serious conversation was with a Hostel warden; I used to play around instead of studying much there;
He called me up and told me;
“ Do you know why I am fucking up here instead doing a easy job; because I didn’t take my life seriously; I didn’t read well and I didn’t give a damn to anything; I kept boozing and by the time I wanted to settle I had nothing ; I had to take up some job so I became a warden here; I am studying now to clear my Bed and to become a teacher.
I am telling this to you because; I really like you! I am not telling you to study every hour; but do keep in your mind that you must study well!!”
Seriously guys that was my first serious conversation with outsiders I ever remembered. Though I say study to earn is all crap; I really that chat with him. It will stay with me.
Its night 2.00 am ; I better sleep now; Will work on part 2 sometime later.
Ps: One last story; I was talking with a girl recently and she was telling me all kinds of complaints; all boys get drunk and misbehave with girls; I had nothing to comment on that; as we were talking she told me that one of her favorite movies is ‘khushi’.. Funnily the movie has a long drunk sequence in which hero drinks some local liquor and speaks some horrible dialogues and this babe also likes a song in which the hero dances on the road chasing a girl wearing a mini and her boobs oozing out.
I just couldn’t comprehend one thing!! Do people fantasize bullshit and expect perfection in real life?? I just hope it works other way round. You better fantasize perfection and accept flaws in real life.
And by the way as long as women watch those women characters people will keep on showing dumb characters. After all if you can’t respect yourselves; we can’t respect you.
Saying all this I have nothing against women; I know many guys who flirt with babes and expects good wives!!
So nothing personal here!!
Keep rocking

Beauty and contentment!!
Here I am back with another blog. I think four years of my honeymoon with life is over; I see tough times ahead and I just hope that I would come back tougher.. 3 cheers to life.. biggest flirt anyone can ever expect.
Worst things first and good things later!
There is this book I read sometime ago; the name is ‘Fountain head’. There is a particular character named ‘Wynand’; An orphan; who works hard and finally makes it big . The guy loves a girl and he gives her everything; he treats her like a queen. One fine day in bed she asks him a question “ Ain’t I beautiful than the model we have seen yesterday”. He leaves the place immediately and he never enters a relationship again. I loved that one.
I see weird people now; people who have no proper food but people who think of making a movie with crores of budget. Believe me I met a 30 year old fellow who wrote some ten pages of script and he told me he is planning to make a film with a budget of 150 crores. Seriously I pitied him; even day dreams have limits, I felt sick for sometime; this guy is going bullshit for sometime like this and then understands the situation and by that time his prime time is over; may be settles down as a coolie or something for the rest of his life. People are dreaming to spend more money and make big budget films; no one is trying to learn the art and do take a tough path. When we see a Bergman film; we see absolute art nothing else; I saw scene yesterday ; pretty simple; two people ( old lovers) meet and they look into a mirror and they tell the changes that occurred in them. It’s a ten minute scene and it makes you sit up and watch the scene with your wide mouth open; If you have the right stuff; you can make a film anywhere; you need not show Switzerland and unnecessary cheap tricks in your films!! Its pathetic!!
Where does the beauty lie; its every where; the way we wake up; the way we brush; the way we work; the way it rains; pleasant music; good humour.. its in every part of our lives.
Its just a matter of being content with what we have!! I am not saying don’t work and be happy with what you have. I am saying be content with what you have and work hard and enjoy your work; not because you get some material someday; but because you love your work.
Where are the good old grand ma’s and grand pa’s who told stories to their grand children; they are hooked to those TV serials watching melodrama stuff!!
I met an old man some years ago; the first he asked me was what do I do and what is my salary?
And he even went on asking me what is my manager’s salary and when I would reach that position.
To hell with everything; what will he do knowing my salary? On the contrary why cant he tell his childhood experiences and what he used to and what he loved!! That would be a pleasant chat!! Ain’t it.
I visited a remote place during this Ugadi; all family members were at the home; some one painting the old cot; and someone cleaning the old stuff; and girls running around the place; there was so much of energy!! I felt very very happy for them !!
Where are happy people now; no one wants to do farming; everyone wants to become an engineer or a doctor;; they fix up their paths and not to mention that most of the people regret what they do!!
I sound pessimistic ; but I miss the people who really live their life to the core. Everyone speaks of the past as great golden days and the future as a burden. Most of them want the things to be done easily without working hard.
God bless and god save!!
For a change I want to see people who are really alive and happy!!
And now some good points; here I am sitting in Vizag happily at a pent house very next to the beach road; writing this blog at night 1.00 watching the white waves from the sea… cool breeze doing magic.. and I see some ships anchored at some distance and some beautiful neon lights through out the road making it look majestic!!
A very pleasant drive from Hyderabad to vizag; breakfast was a surprise; we just stopped by a river ; washed our hands and ate there under a bridge;
Met a good old friend; and went for a drive in evening again. What more can I ask for!! 3 cheers to life.
PS:- I wanna see a beauty untouched and content!!
Keep rockin

Worst things first and good things later!
There is this book I read sometime ago; the name is ‘Fountain head’. There is a particular character named ‘Wynand’; An orphan; who works hard and finally makes it big . The guy loves a girl and he gives her everything; he treats her like a queen. One fine day in bed she asks him a question “ Ain’t I beautiful than the model we have seen yesterday”. He leaves the place immediately and he never enters a relationship again. I loved that one.
I see weird people now; people who have no proper food but people who think of making a movie with crores of budget. Believe me I met a 30 year old fellow who wrote some ten pages of script and he told me he is planning to make a film with a budget of 150 crores. Seriously I pitied him; even day dreams have limits, I felt sick for sometime; this guy is going bullshit for sometime like this and then understands the situation and by that time his prime time is over; may be settles down as a coolie or something for the rest of his life. People are dreaming to spend more money and make big budget films; no one is trying to learn the art and do take a tough path. When we see a Bergman film; we see absolute art nothing else; I saw scene yesterday ; pretty simple; two people ( old lovers) meet and they look into a mirror and they tell the changes that occurred in them. It’s a ten minute scene and it makes you sit up and watch the scene with your wide mouth open; If you have the right stuff; you can make a film anywhere; you need not show Switzerland and unnecessary cheap tricks in your films!! Its pathetic!!
Where does the beauty lie; its every where; the way we wake up; the way we brush; the way we work; the way it rains; pleasant music; good humour.. its in every part of our lives.
Its just a matter of being content with what we have!! I am not saying don’t work and be happy with what you have. I am saying be content with what you have and work hard and enjoy your work; not because you get some material someday; but because you love your work.
Where are the good old grand ma’s and grand pa’s who told stories to their grand children; they are hooked to those TV serials watching melodrama stuff!!
I met an old man some years ago; the first he asked me was what do I do and what is my salary?
And he even went on asking me what is my manager’s salary and when I would reach that position.
To hell with everything; what will he do knowing my salary? On the contrary why cant he tell his childhood experiences and what he used to and what he loved!! That would be a pleasant chat!! Ain’t it.
