Quotable Quote

"Salim-Javed never went to a screenwriting school but still ended up becoming a screenwriting school for all of us. Too much education can kill a perfectly smart brain forever. But it's desirable in terms of craft, in basic things like creative writing classes in every university which most people in the west take for granted. We spend our childhood dreading our Physics-Chemistry-Math scores and hundreds of entrance exams instead, which is a pity for those who are not so inclined. It's strange, I always say I never went to a film school, I went to Jungle instead-and recently Anurag told me the same thing-that he never went to a film school, he went to Satya instead". - Jaideep Sahni, in an interview to India FM

Blog :Creative Writing

A blog is a medium which can and does foster creativity and original writing on burning topics and bring up concrete reality completely ignored by the mainstream press. It can also be used for providing information and inspiration about career {in IITs & IIMs}. In my words a blog is a creative license in form of online journal, public diary or e-documentation of your thoughts. You have to keep seeking and striving, learning and thriving. Reading and writing are in symbiosis with each other. Equating the writing of comments with writing a blog is misplaced but a potentially powerful idea. Its clever marketing, since the term 'blog' has come to stand for the unfettered expression of opinion. But blogging is not something that you do only as a reaction to what other people write! It is about being proactive than reactive. The challenge is to hybrid creativity and commercialism. To achieve impact in terms of sales, or at least influence thinking / behavior is real goal of a...

For Future Generation

The wishes of the children are never a factor when deciding their future, Even if the part of this creative little soul is dying everyday on that wooden bench, copying Q & A from the blackboard. Earlier the thought was that only civil services, doctors and engineers are suitable careers. Nowadays the trend is that only engineering +MBA degree combo is a sensible career. It can bring in the so called mega bucks. It is all for the welfare of the students. Never mind if the kids are battered by an uncompromising and ruthless system which robs them of any creativity they have had. Failure to get inside a top notch school is considered a family dishonor and enormous pressure brought on kids to achieve targets which they never really wanted to. And yeah, this is motivational bullshit but you know what, the idea that an entrance exam or two at age 17 can make or break your future is horse manure. Use it - to fertilize your imagination! Take a bit of a creative leap in your Life!!! College...

Software Industry and Engineers

Image
Engineers have always had to endure the "nerd" label, but some catchy phrase might change that image. RHDTM was such incident to me. A dialogue was delivered-“ Mechanical Engineer mein fire hone chahiye ”. Then in next scene,  R. Madhavan ignites a lighter for smoking cigarettes. That snap makes engineering a cool career to me in school days. I decided in 1s year two things: To get a software job and to excel in any field except academics. I completed this resolution successfully. Apart from my story, the creation of over 250,000 white collar jobs is something to celebrate. For the first time in recent Indian history, the 'ordinary' graduate is in demand. If it took outsourcing to create this demand - so be it. But remember software industry is not about creating new things. Its all about client giving you work. Work that their IT team is NOT interested in doing. Well, here’s the deal. Practically every engineer – and not just from IIT but the top 200 colleges in In...

Test Cricket vs.20-20

The trouble with traditionalists is that they present themselves as protectors of the game's values but are actually doomed romantics. They lament the present state of affairs yet resist innovation.--- Peter Roebuck

My First Attempt For Scriptwriting

Notice: I will kill the guy who will plagiarize this creation. I am damn serious. Walking Diary 1 st scene Two Boys:One wearing che guevera t-shirt 1 st guy: You are wearing a T shirt with image of Che on it!!! 2 nd guy: who the heck is he in this world? I absolutely have no clue about this man except that it looks cool. 1 st guy: People should be banned from wearing ‘Ernesto Che Guevara’ t-shirts who absolutely have no clue about the man and his sacrifice. 2 nd guy: Did he was an important American rock star or soccer player…. 1 st guy: Never mind about that stuff, lets go; Guru (3 rd guy) must be waiting…. 2 nd scene A beautiful girl on side ways and both boys on walk 1 st guy: What a beauty!!!! 1 st guy: Hey, you noticed that chic. She is hot… 2 nd guy: Do you only see the beauty of girls in this whole world? There is hunger, poverty and unemployment around you… 2 nd guy: I got sometimes mad by these sites. People walk with the ignorance and cold heart. I hate viewing tho...

I ink,therfore i am.

Who am I? May be a tramp, vagabond, bohemian, stranger, amigo, nameless traveler, stalker, pauper or faceless identity in a lost world. I am sure that I am not an artist of abstract and reflective thinking. Then, Who am I? I ink, therefore I am but really there is no purpose in asking question to the abyss called as soul. I write this blog for expressing my feeling and inspire others.
