12. Trump's triumph has something to learn from.



I don’t support Trump but he has made a really big influence in my life. And the reason is his persistence and belief. Nothing happens out of order. The man has something and that is why he became the president. I really do feel that he has drastically brought down single handedly the respect for US president’s chair. But the process of him becoming president, the most powerful man on planet as they say cannot be ignored.

Everyone took him for granted when he first stood for presidency. They laughed at him and any person would have been demotivated looking at the amount of hatred and laugh you get but he kept on moving. Later he raised agendas that no one raised till now like throwing out immigrants and building Mexican walls. He didn’t play dirty, he changed everything to war. When earlier Presidential elections were peaceful arguments between two people who tried very hard to look perfect in front of people, here was a complete different situation. While Hillary was fighting the elections with complete traditional ways of maintaining the cool, making abstract promises, showing her love and caring side, on the other hand Trump showed what he was. He never tried to hide anything about him and probably the reason was that he was not politician. If he does not win the elections, it wouldn’t matter to him because he already a billionaire and getting back to his old life would be very easy.
But soon the persona of Trump increased and no one could believe that he would come this far. They under estimated what people want. That happens with everyone. No one tries to know what public wants. Everyone tries to know but all they do is ask a research agency and their friends and none has the verified truthful news about what to do. Trump knew what people want and since Hillary, like any politician was greedy, and was aiming to get as many votes as possible. She was afraid of hurting sentiments of one section of people because it could create controversy and would cost her votes. On the other hand, Trump would say whatever he wanted to say about anyone he wanted and would then create controversy and the best part of it was that he was ready to face the controversy.

I remember years ago, When I was in college I bought a book of Trump called “The art of dealing” and he mentions in that book that he got bankrupt once and had lost all hopes but one day in his apartment, he got up and decided to do something about it. He went to every bank that were issuing cases against him for not paying back the loan and convinced them that he will pay back their loan. That was the courage of that man. And he did pay them back.

Ethically and in personal life, he is really fucked up. But the world is run by most fucked up people. I have learned a lot from him. Even if you hate him, just try to appreciate what he has done and how he has done because it can change everything about you personally and professionally.

83. Baahubali - The Conclusion -Why it will work ?

Image
Baahubali was a blockbuster in every sense. I didn't like it because as a screenplay writer I found too many faults, which I thought if avoided it could have become a legend of a film. But the film was entertaining and lead its own culture. A lot of people around me loved it. That is the curse of learning filmmaking that I have to carry my entire life, I see filmmaking from many points of view, not just entertaining. I do VFX for my films too and I know how difficult of work that is. Baahubali-2 does not reveal much in its later trailer, except the visual effects and close beauty shots of actors. But then that is the whole point of this film. I just wish that the story this time will be better to create its own standing. That is just my point of view and i know people loved the story otherwise how will u explain the "Katappa killed Baahubali" Craze. People were involved in the story, that is why it became such a cult. I trust Rajamouli as he is a brilliant director ...

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

Image
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)

Image
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. It seems a...
