To a new city

I didn't want to skip a day of blogging just because I'm travelling. If I did then there is no use of having a smartphone after all.
So what will I blog about today - about the very train in which travelling. While I was travelling in the about 2 months back to attend my final semester exams I had thought that could be my last journey on that train. But it turned out that I have travelled by the same train twice after that. And both these times I travelled a longer distance than I used to while in college. So it's just very ironical that I'm travelling by the same train today.

More tomorrow from a new city...

In search of an addictive narrative

I like telling stories. I like writing stories. And I like showing stories. I believe that the key element which should be present invariably in all these forms is what I call ‘the connect’. When I tell you a story, I should be able to make you feel the story. I wish to think I am capable of it even though I don’t know for sure. While orally telling a story, the impact of the story depends on the voice modulation ability of the narrator and also his ability to conceal his excitation towards the coming events of the story. He should be able to give peeks in to the future but not telegraph the twists. This will enable the audience to be interested in the story till the end. There must always be a hook which holds their attention. Same goes when writing down a story. Here the voice modulation factor is replaced by the range of words the author uses to communicate the idea. It must connect with the reader and should not make him feel as though something is odd with the narration. But vis

I just can't wait to Shine!

“I just can’t wait to shine!”               This is a line from my upcoming short film. It brings out the feeling of a person who desperately want to taste success. It’s not the fame or money that attracts these guys, it’s the self-fulfilling feeling of having done something that others can’t replicate. The burning desire to succeed is all it takes to be successful in life.               People who are talented and especially the ones who are confident of their talent surely will be restless of waiting to succeed. They want success so badly that they push their limits. They explore new avenues to showcase their skills. They don’t feel let down by failures instead they feel happy to have failed earlier. Because failure teaches you lessons that are tested throughout your path to success.               I really feel that there are three kinds of guys in this world. The first is the kind that you find commonly around you – they go with the flow. They don’t actually strain themsel

Journey of RED

Someday around the mid of September 2015, I came across this film festival by an NGO called Antardrishti – Drishti Short film festival. They were calling for films less than 10 minutes in duration on the theme of eye donation. The deadline was almost a month away. Having just made 4-5 short films earlier with friends of which only 2 are still in youtube and the rest are the embarrassing amateur attempts, that felt like a huge leap for me. As part of brainstorming, I started watching videos on blind people, short films that are already made on the theme, previous year winners of the contest etc. I jotted down every idea that struck me. Few of which are interesting that I’ve still reserved them for my future projects. Once I start working on a project, I prepare few dialogues that would form the crux of the story and weave scenes around them. Few of the dialogues that didn’t make it to the final draft – “All I see is just black!” “You see the truth. Black is
