one selfish Vishal

its the buzz, hmmm, bang, noise and what not pre and post release and how could i just mention the name and not talk about it. all talking about Kaminey... you know what Vishal Bharadwaj is?

i think he is one man the film-maker-musician-singer who is a selfish creator... like someone writing a song for himself and singing to himself, painting a canvas and adorning his own room with it, no problem if someone else hears or looks
i think he makes movies, definitely and obviously, not for commercial gain or not for all else to watch and praise him rather he does it for his own expression and self satisfaction and to check how good he is at it. exception: he is selfless only in case of children. he makes movies for children. despite knowing that the gentry doesn't accepts such movies whole-heartedly and they don't HIT!
he thinks of some idea or looks at an idea and says 'let me try creating or building something around this and let me see how it looks'. and he does that.
he is a childhood friend. he gave me to sing jungle jungle and aaya aaya chhenu waali jhunnu ka baba and agar magar dole naiyya then he kept me dancing on chappa chappa charkha chale and giving me goosebumps with chhod aaye hum wo galiyaan and omkaara and now making me scream Dhan tenaan tena nenaan.
how many have seen Blue Umbrella and pankaj kapoor in it? there are no words for the act and the script. saif as an actor will only be remembered as langda tyaagi thanks to Vishal. and yes... the great intense Maqbool and the real Makdee
he creates all this in his playtime and he enjoys it. oblivious to how the dabba-daftar (box-office) responds. doesn't matters to him if his work is given an A certificate. the makings of his movies seems like a picnic where the camera is occasionally toggled between on/off rec mode. its all fun for him!
this guy and his works are just awesome. must see all

read or TV

i don't switch on my TV unless i have completed reading newspaper or a magazine and reading is the first thing i do in morning or after i reach home.
i also know that once i start watching TV, i won't be able to switch it off and resume reading again
so exactly what do i prefer? reading or TV?? hmm...!???

f not s

for all those who think that pronouncing 'f' instead of 's' is an Vishal Bharadwaj innovation in Kaminey...
There's this good friend of mine, my junior in college who use to talk like that. and more... he pronounces 'v' in place of 'r' too!
beat it! faahid waf too good

shift again

It happened just three posts back!!!
either the time flies like anything (it does) or one of my company's mission mentions the word 'shuffle' or me is too slow in posting (which is the actual reason)
will be moving to Debari, our new central sales office about 16kms from Udaipur.
when? as per orders 'with immediate effect' that means the next working day. but me buying some time... lets see :)
