30. The seminar in which i slept.

I won't name the person but i am just back from a seminar and the seminar was on power of thinking, subconscious mind but during the lectures both my conscious and subconscious mind slept heavy sleep because the man who was giving seminar was giving it like he was teaching kids at fourth class. As per his story, he was an IITan who left his lucrative job, to do these seminars because he wants to change people's life. He was telling the same things that i have been reading for last three years, so one of the reasons why i was sleeping was because I knew what he was telling.
However, I have listened to the same things again and again and I never get bored. Like there is a speaker called Les Brown and he is so energetic and enthusiastic that you feel excited as he you listen to him. Same goes with Tony Robbins who puts all his energy into his seminars. This man in his seminars was actually making everyone sleep. I looked around once to find out and realized that everyone was into bored zone but they were all trying really hard to listen to him. they all felt that they are going to change their lives but i knew it wasn't effecting them. The primary reason was the speaker was unable to convince them with his arguments and there was lack of live and real examples or stories that he should have narrated to make his theories more clear. He was just telling the things as matter of fact and he himself seemed terribly disinterested.
I ran out of there as soon as it got over. But it gave me confidence that i can do my own seminar. I am a thousand times better speaker than him. One more thing happened in the seminar which helped me tremendously and it was that before the seminar was started, one of the ex students of that man asked everyone that how heard about the seminar from facebook, how many heard about it from newspapers and how many heard it from their own friends and the maximum hands that were raised were because of Facebook advertising. That was one of the most important thing i learned from that seminar and it was all i needed at this point i guess.

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...
