whats your motivation???

Hey world,

An interesting thing happened today… we were in the middle of a story meeting about  a new show we are developing… as we were through with the discussion with the top boss and all was agreed upon, we decided to take a break and then get back to discuss the characters…

all was going well and then my intelligent boss decided to prove his mettle… he dragged us into a needless argument regarding  one of the characters. everyone besides him has a consensus on it and he simply refused to budge form his black and white world where everyone had to be at the extreme end of the spectrum…pitch black or spotless white…

we all refused to give up and kept holding our fort till he gave in…

basically the point he was trying to make was that every character should have a great motivation in their life or he is a useless… our point was that there are many such characters who are happy like they are and dont necessarily have a great plan for life…but that is what makes them interesting and complex characters to work with…especially when we are moving away from stereotyped characters..

what is your opinion???

Cheers till later…

the art of selling

hey world,

today was a big day for my team…we had to pitch to a channel with a show… all three of us- vats,sri and myslf are the creators and thus very passionate about it…in the end it went of well with me butting in at crucial points as vats narrated …sri was very quiet as the he is unwell with food poisoning…

it all boils down to selling…it seems the world is one big sales organization…and all of us are salespersons…selling to survive…make a living…find some occupation…satisfy our existential cravings…other desires…and then one fine day we die…and a whole lot of selling happens to ensure we get a good farewell… strange but true…where does it end???…like some one said:” how many miles must a man walk…before you can call him a man?…the answer my friend is blowing in the wind…the answer is blowing in the wind…”

a large part of our lives are spent fulfilling these needs and by the time we realize, life has gone by…the same holds true if one wants to own a house in a city like mumbai… the rates are so high and out of reach that a large section of -even the professionals- never end up being a home owner… if you do take the plunge…you must end up paying a hefty sum for the rest of your life… and in turn you are ensuring that you have a lot of stress constantly hounding your mind and life-stress to cough up an E.M.I. every month- regardless of what situation you are in, unwell, disaster-struck,alive or in coma…lol … and just imagine – at the end of your life, you are left with nothing but a house to show for all that you have been able to achieve in a life time…its so humiliating…so small to write home about…but that little pigeon hole is the greatest objective for a majority of us common people in this maximum city. and like it or not…im dreaming about it too…some day i want to have a little home for myself in this city where i dont have to worry about moving out at the end of 11 months and no one hounds me with increase in rents…but it may take some time friends…considering that no one really gives a loan to media professionals and one has not had a great amount of fortune coming till now…so may be i will /maybe i wont…”

till later…cheers!!!
