10. Don't let mind fool you.

Yesterday I met the producer of my ex film which never got released and frankly, I didn’t want to meet him but he lured me into meeting him by telling me that he was interested in releasing the film. My film was my baby and I wanted to release it. It was a good film. He had no intentions of releasing that film. He just wanted to meet me remove his guilt that he did wrong to me. He told me that he has evolved a lot during these years and he has become a better man but he hasn’t. He is the same old man and worse. Now he has started living in fool’s paradise.

But that is not the thing that I want to concentrate on right now. The thing that came out of that meeting was something I have experienced before and I want to warn others about it. The feeling is of growing up after a tragedy or bad experience. Our mind is highly intelligent and even if we do dumb things all the time, our mind all the time works efficiently. I too have this feeling more mature and intelligent and wife after my break ups and bad events. But the truth is that I didn’t learn a single thing. It was the mechanism of my mind which knew that I am feeling bad about my past and want to get over it so it creates a foolish reason which convinces us that we have learned a lot from our experiences but it is a foolish reason and later when the time for actions come and we do the same stupid shit that we have done before, then we are like – what the fuck was that? Why do I keep doing the same shit over and over again?

The solution to this is to realize that when you do a mistake in life, get over it and move on. Don’t try to over analyze the situation because you will always find something to convince you that it wasn’t that bad situation. It happened for a reason. Well of course it happened for a reason and the reason was that you did a mistake and it is not end of the world. Get up and do something else.

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...
