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

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
whatevev, itf fun fpeaking that way :) unleff one doefn't exaggvatef veplafing whatfoevev lettev with any othev.
fo what waiting? tvy thif onfe hehe :p

gears of my bike named...

coming here after a long time and the stay is again short... was too very busy!
anyways... yesterday as always while riding my bike, my mate, i was talking to it. we were doing through traffic, water filled potholes, rains, slick roads which, for some stretches, were empty. and in those talks, we were talking about its gears. the 5 of them which i was using at different times and conditions.
feeling each of theirs efficiencies and expertise for different purposes, i named them...

1st Gear: Raw Power. too very eager to pounce and getting us running
2nd Gear: Smootho. moving slow was never so smooth, best friend of 3rd!
3rd Gear: The Bridge. preparing well for speed biking... hidden power!
4th Gear: Old Friend. since my first biking days... this is the best. still as good as always.
5th Gear: Gracious Gift. extra for extra gliding speed... and 3 digits on speedo!
these make me feel like i have 5 more mates other than my bike!

ignore

if its in label creative than it shud have been something creative from me... but its not... this is just for some design change which requires more than one post in a single label... will later see why!

being from an IT backgroung and having done so many prorammings, i can understand that this is maybe because of some bug in the script.
its just to ignore!

but then why i wrote all this if this was supposed to be ignore?? i though that even if write ignore on the title and blabber anything over here, it still will be read!
:)

my first post on a test blog...

is supposed to be test blog...
ya... and thats why i named it dodo... so that if me, a novice over here creates some sheepish stuff, it could go extinct before i go sheepish... or dodo-ish!i still have to learn basics... i dunno what will be happening to this writing once i click this button below... oh damn... there are two buttons... one is to save (yes i wish to save this) and other is to publish (umm... yeah i also wish to publish this!) so now me dodo-ish again! i sincerely dunno why i am insulting that poor creature who is no more in this world.ok... me off on further experiments with myself and this blog thing... wishing myself best!
