75. A lesson from an IPS officer on success that you must not ignore. At least I didn’t.

March 06, 2017

A day ago I met an IPS officer. He is a good friend of mine. He is posted in Kerala and his name is Prateesh Kumar. He was here on a short visit to Mumbai so we decided to take a stroll around seaside just to remember the old times and talk about other stuffs of life. We decided to have lunch and dinner together and he was paying the money at every shop we went as I had not a single rupee in my pocket. I told him about my financial conditions which are not very bright and I told him that when you are in film line, nothing is certain and there are always good and bad phases that awaits you. You don’t get monthly cheques and there is no certainty from where your next cheque is coming from. He asked me whether he should loan me some money and I told him that I never borrow money from anyone. He understands my ego and self-esteem as we are childhood friends and our families are close together so he stopped insisting much. But he did ask me what were the problems I was facing and I to...

73. Reviewing Boston Legal : Supreme court Speech by Alan Shore ( For Aspiring Actors)

March 05, 2017

I am sharing this video with you so that you can rehearse the lines if you want to be an actor. I love this whole scene when i first watched it ages back and it still haunts me. The way James Spader has performed this whole scene astounds me still. The perfect intonation, gaps, punctuation, speeds, pauses and whole performance is just scintillating. the big revelation came to me when i started auditioning for acting and I decided to create my showreel. So I downloaded this episode and wrote down the entire speech. It is way too long firstly, and secondly English is not my first language so there was difficulty in speaking this language. But destiny had some better plans for me and taught me something which I could not have learned otherwise. I started reciting the lines along with Alan Shore and when i did that i was awestruck more by the acting skills of James Spader because speaking along with him I tried to follow his pitch and pauses and it was very difficult.

13. Make you goddamn film

January 16, 2017

Film making is a process in which you have to to be ready to face problems. I stopped making films thinking about the problems that I would face when I would make the film. But the whole process of film making is tedious process. One has to understand that. What is the solution? There is no solution. The only solution is to deal with it. Some times when people like me who are in film line are unable to see the future in front of them and that is the worst phase of life. When things are going on and you are doing things in particular order and everything falls for you in place, you feel you are sorted but sometimes they don't and then you are like what should I do. Never feel disheartened by what people will tell you. Film making is not an easy job and not everyone can do it. People give their opinions based on what they can or cannot do. Don't listen to them. If you want to make a film go ahead and make it. don't think twice about what you can or cannot do.
