Journey of a Filmmaker

I am not a believer of “days”. I hate each of these so called special days from “Fathers day” to “Mothers day”, from “Valentines day” to “Friends day”. Few of these even eat up a whole week. I’ve never consciously wished anyone on these day. Of course there were many awkward situations where people wish you happy friends day out of the blue and my voice instinctively replies. Let alone those involuntary ones, I never cared about these. But being a shameless marketer myself, I thought I could write something on women on their official day and at least garner a few extra views. But this is not going to be any insincere than a losing captain wishing the winner. This one truly is from the heart as my every other post is. I’ll start with something I read recently. It goes like this, “Adam was not made for Eve, Eve was made for Adam”. When I read this first time, I could only infer one meaning out of it.

My son is not like yours he won’t talk to girls Boosted my mom to the next door aunty I grew up keeping her words so true And confused at the same time whether She wants me to be gay. I do not have a say in the courses I take I just went with the flow and when I grabbed Myself a cubicle in a MNC, every other uncle friend Of my dad started speaking as if I have found a treasure. Yes it is an opportunity not everyone gets But so is every other job What makes being a PA to someone from USA Sound status worthy?  I never got it. Muted by parents at every moment I try to speak I lost my voice early in life. I have no idea how it will even sound at ...

Dreams Diverge It’s quite natural that when two stuffs are offered free, we always want the best one. The simple thought today is, “When dreaming is just free of cost, why dream small?” It’s high time that we dreamt something big, after all! Our biggest problem is not only that we do not dream big, it is also that we mock everyone around us who dares to dream a little bigger than us. This post is the continuation of the previous one. I had decided to become a filmmaker when I completed 10th grade. Into the next grade, I was sort of confused and was indulging myself in too many things that diverged my attention in all directions making me truly lost in the world of an ordinary higher secondary student. You must have known that world. It was sort of a programmed routine which would start by me getting up at a really early time when people would generally be in their deep state of slumber.  I would start turning pages of my books without even min...
