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 i...

The most expensive train journey of my life...

It was the fool’s day, the first of April. I think I would really be able to recall a lot of what happened that night and this is going to be a really long post. Folks, get ready to read into my mind while the worst (at least till now) unfolded in my life. I had got all my stuffs packed for the usual train journey back to college from home after a very short leave. My dad dropped my at the railway station and I still remember this one peculiar thing. I had traveled to and fro a lot many times earlier and he never used to say this to me. That one particular time he mentioned, “Be careful with your bag!” Really, I bet that was the first time he ever said that to me and what an instinct? I got a ticket to Erode and stuffed to my purse. And I did another stupid thing! I took the purse from my butt pocket and put it into my bag. I thought it would be uncomfortable to sit properly with a heavy purse beneath. And that comfort cost me 5000 bucks. As Nagercoil junction was the starting p...
