I am back!! So expect one very long blog, nothing else!! ..lol
First things first; I hate sad stories; yup I loved schindler's list.. but I try to stay from them
as much as possible.
All the same ; if you have a story with you; you have to tell it .. so lets start !!
But I had to warn this isnt for people who believe in right or wrong!! its for people who believe in Life
1) I studied in my village till 5th standard; there is this girl who is a muslim; we used to be in same section and same tuition and we know each other well; so even after that when ever we meet each other in my village we say a 'Hi'. My father and her father were also classmates!!
Some months back some one told me; she eloped with a hindu.. against the wishes of the family!! its fine with me till this point. Now the real trouble started, It seems the guy was a real ass hole and I also heard that she did her Msc maths and is teaching in a college to run the family and this fellow is sitting idle. I felt bad.
and yesterday my father came to me and asked me " do you know that girl , she is the daughter of the librarian ".. I told "yes dad I know her!!"
"you know about her marriage?"
"yes dad"
" well it seems your batch mates arranged a get together recently and this girl went to the party.. this fellow didnt like it seems.. and he beat her like hell.. and she is the mother of a 3 month old baby!! her mother tried to stop him; it seems he bet her too and finally he bet his father in law too. I just saw him ( her father in law).. there are bruises all over his place!!
For once I felt like breaking his legs.. I just wish she will kick him on his balls and throw him out and start a new life!! darn it , a psychopath behaviour!!
2) This story is a about a friend of mine Kalyan; we worked with the same director some 6 months; and the best part is we are absolutely different in our views!! If I say A he would say its B. But funnily we travelled so much together we became best friends and ofcourse views continue to be different. We have something in common too, non smoking and drinking, willing to travel and being ready to work anytime. May be that set the friendship!! after sometimes its like we were brothers!!!
one thing about him is he is a playboy!! he managed ten blind kids when rehearsing in an apartment and it seems he started a romance with MBBS student in the nearby place!! so he keeps telling what he did with all girls.. one fine day I told him tell me all about your girlfriends, .. he asked me
"which one?".. I said "lets start with the first"
he started " Well its a telephone love story; she used to study in vijayawada in a hostel .. and she is a christian, somehow I got her number and I used to call from hyderabad.. soon we were talking for hours, its not just her.. her friends used to talk me too for hours they used to call me brother.. it was like we cant live without each other .. atleast for me.
Once on christmas eve I went to her home town and I called her , she said she was in the church.. so I waited near the church!! they started moving out and I saw this girl.. believe me she was beautiful like hell.. i didnt even see her .. but I know it was her.. funny after she crossed me.. she called me.. arent you standing there at the pole!! she too didnt see me but she expected that It was me!! I was so happy that day".
Believe me if I saw this in a theatre I would have laughed like hell and would have said that its the worst meladrama.. ever made. But he is right before me and he really did it.. and my heart went for him.
I asked " what happened to her".. he continued " this continued for many months and we were even talking sex on phone!! and suddenly she stopped calling ; and changed her sim!!
So i had no idea for some days what happened to her!! and then I got the number of her friend.. I called her.. she broke down and told me that the girl got married!!"
Believe me.. they was so much of pain in his voice!!
" and now I dont believe in girls.. I play with everyone when possible"..
funny that his voice was so strained.. I could see his pain struggling to get over his first love.. he is bluffing to himself.. deep inside he is a kid trying to forget his first love!! god bless..
this story is absolute crap.. yet it touched me.. something wrong with my basics!!..lol
3) A friend of mine told me this story.. let me introduce him; he left for films
after intermediate and ran after producers for an year !! then he understood the situation and came back and joined engineering . All the same he continued writing for serials in chennai bunking his classes in sullurpet. Then he joined in a mainframe course in hyderabad and simultaneously started searching for film oppurtunities.and finally found a job in IBM .. and is still aspiring to make
good films!! no doubt we glew together!!
anyways we were chitchatting and finally started talking on production managers ( they control the dates of artists and budget). But in the industry are they are known as people who eat away money showing false accounts.
he started his story " When I used to write dialogues for serials ; I used to stay in chennai.. and at that time you know parents send us only two thousand rupees.. and I always wanted more money; My salary was five thousand for each month. I was waiting for 2 months salary. then this production manager came to me and told me "Sasi, I needed to pay some money so I paid your 10 thousand to someone , so you wont get 2 months salary!!".. " I got so pissed that I wanted to shout "Fuck you". all the people exploit these starters like hell. He used to come to sets and demanded cigerrettes from us. We cant fight with him.. because he may speak bad about us to the producer.. and we cant complain everything to the director.. so we used to keep silent."
"After joining IBM I went again to meet him in the studio.. some one told me he escaped with a lot of money. Then I found a kid waiting outside waiting for him. I asked him why is he waiting for the prod manager. He told me that the manger had promised a role and took thirty thousand rupees from him!! do you understand the importance of thirty thousand.. he can survive for thirty months adjusting with meagre things!! and he might have as well run off from home with that thirty
thousand.. so he cant even go back!!"
"When I moved to banglore; the manager called me up once; dont know how he got it and told me " Sasi I am busy in a shooting now.. can you recharge my cell.. for 555 .. when I come to banglore I will give you some two thousand"
this is man is absolute crap!!
Guys I have one more love story.. one damned lengthy one that will be equal in length to everything I wrote here.. I will blog it for sure next time!!
till then
Keep rockin

With Love... to my dearest friend!!
Let me start with my favourite quote from dead poets " whatever this world says.. believe me.. Ideas and words can change this world!!".. beautiful words indeed!!
I try to remember my childhood days when I was a kid!! I remember the walk from my house to school.. all the way I occasionally cry that I dont wanna go to school!!;
I remember the cricket ground where we used to play cricket all the time!! I remember my old house.. made of red tiles.. not the concrete new one!! I remember the
goose berries we collected we collected from the tree in our back yard.. and incidentally sucking honey out of the wild flowers that used to grow behing our house (
my mom taught me that!!).. ha ha ha..
I remember this particular incident particularly ; it rained well.. Me and my sister were walking back from tuition to home.. the kid i was.. the water was came till my knees.. and then this man appeared with some weird raincoats for both of us; weird plastic coats with pink roses printed on it.. with an umbrella in his hand(I was scared that dogs might when i go wearing that.. ) Speaking of the man who came with those coats.. he was always there for me!!
He came to me whenever its possible with eatable packets and chicken when I was in hostel.. he came to visit even when i was in college in north.. he turned up when I was screening my first film!! the man who pushed me along with him to himalayas.. and i fell in love with them.. may be the best moments I ever had were my adventure days..of all the things the human values I learnt from you..were something no one can ever teach me!! this bond is something I cherish.
My friend ; guide ; my hero.. and my father.. you are simply the best!!
Ofcourse we had our differences!! he is typical in education and forced me to study a lot!! I am a rebel.. I believe in an education that comes out of free thinking..
Just some days ago he was telling me ; I should have pushed you to US.. I told him.. I would have been just one more kid..who sends greeting cards to his parents than to be with them!!.. we argued.. all the same.. we forgot it after some time!!
On the retirement day.. I wish a beautiful after life.. may be some social service and may be in exploring new places!! I wish you good luck!!
I must say my core adventure spirit came from you!! thanks a lot for everything father.. You are one the guys I would call a Dude..lol
I understand what it is to work for 30- 40 years in a place.. that almost becomes your place.. I understand what it is to miss it.. all the same.. time comes we need to leave something.. we just leave..
I am glad I was there when people were praising about your sincerity!! ( A railway employee that too a ticket collector who doesnt take a bribe is no joke!!); of your knowledge ( reading books is the legacy I took ).. of all the things the spirit of adeventure.. even his friends were speaking of his love to travel.. gangothri; yamunothri; kedarnath; badrinath.. amarnath!! rajasthan.. awaiting for manas sarovar!!.. good luck with everything!!
I wish I could become a good chap like you!!

Chit chat , Passion n Love!!
I am in a very very good mood; thanks to the rains in Mumbai.. they are making my days!! I just love the sound of rain and the smell of earth when it rains!! Few things are just Immortal.. and thanks to the swimming pool near by..I am having fun 24/7 and ofcourse I am working on a story!!
Lets discuss some jokes!! something very funny happened right now!! the maid pressed the button in the bathroom and locked it from outside!! and we started using one rupee coins and scissors to open the door; finally Rana sir came up with the ingenious idea of open the glass bars from backside.. and jumped in to the bathroom!! well I kept laughing all the time!! lol..
Speaking of him; I was blown away to come to know the fact that he still kept the cap I forgot in his room in my 3rd year engineering!! it was a weird feeling!! to see something like that.. i think I need to learn something about being organized from him!!.
And the best joke is .. I happened to read some words of director in a forum!! he said " I dont believe in experimental cinema.. I just make commercial films!! for many families while making and after release depend on it".. believe it or not.. this the darkest joke I ever read.. Is he fuckin kiddin; if he is thinking of all these families; why the hell should he make film at all!! he should have become another budhdha and should have started social service!! Anyways you tend become a film maker i f you just love films or you just love the glamour around it!! if you just love the glamour.. you would write a typical story.. with revenge and love and stud the story with star cast!! actually you pretty well know you are not making a film; but you are looking for attention.. but what you say is " i remember the families who depend on this.." my ass families.. you are going take a crore as your remuneration.. dont forget that!!
coming to the topic!! passion and love!!
A junior told me somedays back " Sir; passion to achieve something is great; but being being too involved isnt good; because ultimately its you family (say father and mother as of now ) and ( may be wife and kids later ) .. that worries about you if something happens to you!!
Great words indeed!! absolutely true!! I had the pleasure of being in a very good argument today..
Talking of passion; is there really anything called passion; goal or achievement in Life.. nothing; the truth is you gotta live and you gotta die .. all you do in between is to have some fun and may be learn something and to move on.. if you ask me why the heck I need to learn..all I need is fun!! I say you you rock!!
So I have nothing to prove either.. its a game with its own rules.. so I have no passion.. on the contrary its just my love for and movies!!
Speaking of love!! I wonder; The greatest that can ever happen to me is to find a chick whom I can live with happily all my life!! but honestly thats not possible; they exist in fairy tales..but the beauty of life it offers much better than that; the beauty of diversity; to enjoy the differences in people!! I wish I could enjoy it to the maximum!!
keep Rockin

Life is beautiful!!
Life with all its ups and downs is a sheer beauty!! sometimes you wake up early morning.. and you feel its a bliss!! and an occasional rain!! late night work!! spirit of adventure of all the things meeting new people and discussing new things!! What more can I ask for..!!
Anyways lets start with tough things first.. As i always said; I am an ass. I was thinking yesterday; how the hell a very calculated fellow like me can fell in love with a girl whom I never saw.. and ran after her blindly for 2 years ( ofcourse some factors like talking daily and good rapport added it).. but then what is love.. why would anyone love people of opposite sex at all!! these are the questions I am left with, after the end of 2 years..lol!! Well I dont have answers for these questions as of now.. I dont think anyone could convince me unless I find it myself.. God I love her even now.. weird.. yet true!!
As of now.. I decided not to spend more than 2 months on each girl.. if nothing happens.. I better move on..lol.. If some one is angry at me.. please forgive me..lol.
Let me jump to a conversation.. three of us were sitting out at a place chit chatting.. And one of the guy started targetting me that he didnt like my works a lot.. I kept laughing. the third guy asked me "how come you keep laughing.. when he is critisizing your works?".. the answer was simple... I dont work to satisfy you.. I work to satisfy myself.. I obviously try to improve myself constantly.. and I will definitely take good feed back!! That doesnt mean.. So I have nothing to get irked when some one tries to pull some loop holes!! anyways I saw few people praising the samethings which some despise...
the third guy looked at me and added some beautiful words "Challa; none can hurt you".. they are deep but I really understood his point.
The greatest thing I leanrt is to think for myself.. If you fail.. its nothing its a process of learning.. if you win.. again its nothing.. you just got it right this time!! there are many things left out to explore.. and the pleasure to seek and pursue new things thats the thing that drives me forward!! nothing else.
Getting back to the topic!! I have the pleasure of working few blind kids in recent times.. I am working as an asst director in a film which portrays real blind kids.
I personally tell them dialogues.. and prepare them for shoot to be started soon!! The beauty of it was; I initially used to pity them.. but slowly I started to admire their energies.. Imagine once !! you cant see anything before you.. you need to travel on a road; you need to catch a bus.. and these kids really do it with no help.. There is this small girl who prefers to sit alone when free and she sings beautiful good old romantics.. and there is this fellow who will keep on moving here and there.. and one guy should after him to make sure that he sits at the right place!! It was fun.. they even started imitating me and the director after some days.. we found one hell of a mimic.. lol!! they were almost in tears to leave us.. god you play great.
Here I am fully stirred to write new things.. Woke up early morning; and we left to a eye research centre to discuss with a doctor for research on our film!! and it was a patient game of getting the points we require from them. And we got so many good points that we began to wonder.. This isnt an easy task as we thought .. we need keep more efforts!!
and finally they blind folded us and taught us the basics of how to find directions without seeing and how to use the cane!!
Man.. As I say..life is Beautiful..
PS:-) These are my thoughts when I sat for three hours in bus .. which got stuck in traffic.. Thanks to telangana movement
keep rockin..

Good times!! and an Observation!!
1) Lets start with some chit chat; A friend me called recently and when me when I will reach
my room, I need to talk to you. Luckily I was in the room and told him to come over..
He rushed to the room and very happily informed me that he found a producer for his short
film; he also told me that if he can impress him with his work; he might produce a film as
well!!
he added " I wanted to share it with someone; so I ran here; I think this is the turning
point of my life!!"
Indeed I was very happy; to impress a guy and make him to invest on your film isnt easy!!
pray for him guys!!
2) I was damn frustrated somed days ago when my friend called me for this marriage!! I
worried why cant these people marry after 4-5 years when I would be fairly free; to take 2
days time out now is very tough.. I had to start at early morning; reach the place at night
and need to travel further in another vehicla and attend the marriage and had to get back
in another vehicle early morning after spending 2-3 years. It sounded hopeless!
But the 2 day break turned out to be an awesome experience.. I almost completed a book
before I reached Vizag.. I never knew I was missing reading this much.. It was an
inexplicable feeling.. may be its like telling.. darling! I didnt know that I missed you so
much!! and then a good old college mate came there and we had a very nice dinner and finally
went to marriage. I even enjoyed the time I spent in the marriage; the energies and drums
did the magic!! and a bike ride early morning to the station was the best of all!!
may be its all about attitude!! May be we can enjoy anything if we are in the right mood!!
3)I remember my first trek; Obviously it was with my father! we went to hour mother's
sister's house near bellampally!! and we thought of going for a walk and we reached the foot
of the mountain and then we thought till we get bored; and climbing half the mountain I
asked my father " What if some snake turns up?".. my father told me .. well even some wild
animals might turn up; as we climbed half; we can test the other half as well; pretty simple
logic; so we did reach the Top!! and from then onwards it became my hobby!! Life is
beautiful!!
4) When I was returning; two middle aged women got into the train; ( they are sisters) and
they are just trying to show off that their kids can read better than the other one's kids!!
they are asking the kids to read the words written in english to prove that they can read
better!! when you reach 35!! you should develop minimum brains.. comparing 2 kids is
absolutely logicless; as a fact you are killing and manipulating their spirits!! and one guy
was behaving very bad with his own sister; he ate almost everything in the biscuit packet
and gave the left over stuff to her!!
God bless the kids!! Never and ever compare and force them
keep rockin

Reason!! Passion and some conversations!! And a note of Sorry!!
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

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!!

ABC: thats bcoz of situation..
me: well AB
people who fight odds are winners
if u have everything on your side
u need not fight
ABC: others tend to marry at a very older age
or remain single
me: yup
let a generation stay single
but u set something great
u fought for ur rights
thats awesome
else
it never changes
ABC: its good to say.
we are not talking abt a single person
me: thats my very point
u dont accept what i right
ABC: we are talkjing a entire generation
so, talking is good
me: but ur telling me what i wrote
ABC: u count how many of ur friends dnt get dowry
me: thats the point

ask them why the we should give dowry
ABC: i am asking to count
me: 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!!
