My 2nd post on filmmaking

You'd all have been tired of seeing my second post that never arrived. Thanks for your tremendous response and feedback. But due to lack of time and this not being the best medium of teaching or expressing such a huge phenomenon as Cinema, I can hardly be quick in producing my subsequent posts and you learning from it effectively. Besides that, many have asked me to explain Script, Direction and Screenplay and the difference between two aspects or all of them. But, before that, there is a certain pre-requisite knowledge that is needed before learning those aspects of filmmaking.

"You know defining films is like defining life. The purpose is either too many or probably none". You know the fun in filmmaking can be experienced only when you don't know what filmmaking is. Similar to life, that you may aspire to learn what it is or may not even ask such a question all your life, but simply go on living.
I may have said in my last post that filmmaking is an art. Quite True. And also that it could be my current stand-point. Films are an art is true. What does art do? It expresses in many ways, abstract, realism and any other Genre. Similarly, Films can range from any genre from realism to fantasy. But, Do films have to be morally good? Of course not necessary. But films must not mislead. That's enough of a liberty to a creator and also a restriction. For example, A film says, a mere force called true love united a woman from The United States with a man taking bath beneath the Cooum river down south in Chennai. Well, That film may make a person taking bath beneath Cooum, in reality, to dream that such a thing happen to him.
But, If a film says, Practical events brought them together and if the events are narrated with a neat screenplay exploring the possibilities, this film may mislead little. This is one quality that a filmmaker should develop though not necessarily too rigidly. Because "films can shape a society and make life better".

Sorry for the delayed post. I'll keep on posting whenever I get time.

These are my Wits and philosophies


As Featured On EzineArticles


I've been writing all these one-liners and never found vent. I don't even know what to call them. As I presume, Wits are only said and not written. In this confusion and due to lack of knowledge, I call these one-liners.







  • I don’t believe in philosophies being exactly true, right, accurate and applicable to all life, since I myself am being a philosopher.

  • Criticisms make me feel happy that I’m worthy of it; But it also makes me feel sad that I doubt I’m not worthy of what I’m doing.

  • The world’s most strongest emotions have the tendency of ruling even the whole world, but, and also, of perishing on its own.

  • One is rich when one has a lot of money but nothing to spend for and that’s the meaning of being rich.

  • The difference between stress and depression is that, hair grows enormously during depression and falls rapidly during stress.

  • In my past relationships, the ends were always longer than the starts.

  • What’s philosophy in a literal sense?

  • The most interesting part of a cricket match, to my mother, is the presentation ceremony.

  • Sex is an adolescent mystery; A youngster’s quest; A married’s right; Or perhaps a married’s rite.

  • Very often my girlfriend and I forget all differences and then start to have new differences.

  • Expecting a bed of roses is like expecting an equivalent bed of thorns.

  • My brain is a thing; It works like some kinda something.

  • Being famous or genius is either being liked or hated by people never being forgotten in history.

  • Why don’t we have a “no news” day? If observed, yesterday would be lost, today would be nothing and tomorrow would be only one thing on newspapers, “No news day observed yesterday”.

  • Women are possessive even about possessiveness. They think it’s only for themselves. When men get possessive, they say, “You’re suspecting me”.

  • I don’t like to reveal what I read; But, I like to reveal that I read.

  • Why is the one who’s gonna die afraid of the one who has already died?

  • Freedom is never measured; but practiced freedom is measured freedom

  • From the sublime to the ridiculous is nothing but a step.

  • I don’t like thrillers because the ones I suspect are never the killers.

  • Introduction in a book is the one that is always boring and the reader always skips.

  • A silver lining in a cloud is the sun’s attempt to shine beyond the obstruction posed by the clouds.

Some blasphemous wits that I've written

Is it co-incidental or dictated by GOD himself that the reverse of his name be 'DOG'?

Once a Rationalist met a spiritualist. After initial greetings, the spiritualist said,"There's a room. If you enter that room, you can see GOD". Rationalist agreed and entered the room. He came back from the room. Spiritualist was very eager to know what GOD told the rationalist. The Rationalist did not see any GOD.
The Spiritualist asked,"Did you see GOD?"
The Rationalist replied,"Yes. I saw him".
Spiritualist got very eager and asked,"What did he say?".
Rationalist replied,"He said I was destined to be a Rationalist all my life".

Rationalists say there's no GOD by what they know.
But Spiritualists say there's GOD by what they don't know.

I do not believe in GOD, when I succeed;
More do I not believe in Him, when I fail.
