Monologue of my actress

.... Working on a story , i stumbled upon a poetic monolouge of my lead actress, her relationship with the sea , where she , with her love , once had gala time and now both have parted , why and how, i have yet to discover!! story will come at its own but i present the opening monologue of my lead actress below.

डूबते सूरज की
छाँव में
जब तुम
हाथ पकड़ कर मेरा
कदम से कदम
चूमते हुए
चहलकदमी करते थे, 
तुम्हे नही मालूम
पर देखा था मैने
समंदर को तरसते हुए
हमारी "Kisses" से जलते हुए .........
बरस गिनते गिनते
अब ऊँगलियाँ भी
कम पड़ गईं, 
अब भी जाती हूँ
मैं साहिल पे
बिना तेरे साए के, 
लेकिन जुटा नही पाती हिम्मत
समंदर से नज़रें मिलाने की
... जानता है वो बेबसी मेरी
इसलिए चिढ़ाता है
अपनी लहरें
फेंक - फेंक मेरे पाँवों पे... 
मैं चुपचाप
लौट आती हूँ, 
गीले पैरों में
रेत समेटे
..... तुम एक बार
फिर से आओगे ना
मुझे जवाब देना है
समंदर को फिर से.........

Lensight : A beautiful collection of short movies by FTII grads

Did any one of you hear of "Lensight" ? if not, its a collection of beautiful short movies by FTII (Film & Television Institute of Indiagraduates, released under the title "Lensight" (http://www.televisionpoint.com/news2008/newsfullstory.php?id=1199266477).

I got hold of this DVD the day before yesterday, jumped upon it immediately , watched all the shorties and loved almost every film.Wow !! what an experience was that,a beautiful break from full length feature films and plunging into an ocean of creativity.Movies are in Hindi, English and in regional languages but with subtitles for audience's comfort. Each movie is fresh, innovative, gripping and tell stories in a novel style and make you feel that yes future of cinema in India is bright..A few are experimental movies , which choose abstract and symbolic stories with unreal and unique camera movements, but as a student and a cinema lover it is a treat and an enriching experience to see and analyze the art of story telling , editing, cinematography and script writing.

its an encouraging ,commercial and mutually beneficial venture both for students and banner.For cinema lover,they get to see around 20-25 brilliant short movies in one DVD and on other hand, students work gets a bigger and better exposure.I am sure, if the banner does proper marketing and promotions , it can generate good revenue out of the DVD sales.This is the high time that cinema, in its all form, should get more and more promotion and exposure as audience are growing big both in size and their receptiveness and are searching for different ,abstract and novel stories. This poses a big responsibility as well as gives a golden opportunity to students to explore the medium and develop new styles of cinema. Being a students gives one an invaluable chance to conceive the bizarre looking concepts, on screen and reap benefits from their success or failure, and its this trial of thoughts which improves and grooms them and cinema inside. 

With this small article, i congratulate and wish FTII grads a bright future and lot of success in future.

Pune!!!

Okay , i am so tight , i cant wait any more ,let me ejaculate it first !
Pune weather is HORNY !!
hoooo.... now i am relaxed, and yes, in Pune for one month, and now you will definitely pose the eternal WHY ? 
okay , the answer is, to attend a  short course on film-making , period.

1st November, i landed in Pune and what a respite from the horrible, humid and pathetic weather of Mumbai. It felt good to be away from,fear stricken city (for North Ind) for some time, but i know, i'll go back, for my destiny lies there!! or that's what i suppose or assume! ( thinking cost nothing ).Mumbai-Lonavala->Khandala.. , you follow this picturesque route to reach Pune and it's worth travelling...will surely come back to the GHATs of Lonavala's and Khandaala's with my GF soon ( Hope my GF finds me :D, i am not been able to find her) .

i am just 3 days old, but a few peculiar things ,i noticed in Pune..... first , you wont get a chance to see face of any of the gals, riding Scooty,for, they keep their faces wrapped around a cloth, why i couldn't decipher..but still trying... :( . Oh, did I tell you, scootys are all around in Pune and Priyanka Chopra as a Brand ambassador of Kinetic scooty has worked big time "why should guys have all the fun" ... ask the guys and they will express the same feeling " We always want gal to have fun with us".

Then comes the auto rickshaws , c'mon yaar, their meters run like anything, i travel to places and my daily Auto rickshaw bills are around 150 bucks, for hardly 10kms, i am f**ked up of their charges, and the way they fool me, every time i ask them to drop me a place, its obvious , they easily recognise me as an outsider and when i give them a pity look and say " i don't know the address, please drop me at X address", they know , i am an easy prey for them. The very first day, an autorickshawala charged me 150 bucks for dropping me a place which was not far from my originating point , but i was helpless.

I have very little time as the battery is dieing,(Scientists please work on developing Super conductors now , its enuf) , daily classes consumes around 15 hours (i am not kidding) , but its really worth attending and i am enjoying it, today was a bit free, and was feeling HORNY , so took out some time to wrap up , all i wanted to say in these lines,will surely try to sit again on my laptop and compose at least one more post soon, but now going for dinner and then into the bed, oh its already tomorrow (Current  time 00:44, 4th November and i started writing this post at 11:44pm, 3rd Nov), but yes , from my POV(Technical term in film-making means Point of View ),every tomorrow looks brilliant, better and brighter. 

I wish you also a tomorrow , as you wish!!!
Good night and sleep tight!! 

P.S: Dont forget to watch the trailer of Anurag Kashyap's latest offering Dev.D (click here for trailor)
