An ode to Sujit Lalwani.

To Sujit Sir,

I have always admired Rahul dravid from my childhood; The way he pushes the ball through the covers amidst the tight field set, the way he glances the ball to the fine leg, that pull shot❤  damn! That's the perfect way to seduce any hardcore cricket fan.

One fine day, I got a chance to watch the test match between India and Pakistan. Need I say more? The crowd went gaga over Sachin, Ganguly, Rahul and many big names.
Day 3, India had already lost 2 wickets, Dravid comes to bat. I still remember that walk from the dressing room. Elegantly he came. Shoaib Akthar from the other side comes running from a mile and Dravid defences it like a warrior who defends his opponent with all courage and elegance, and the crowd had their loudest cheers for that defence. That one moment inspired me to a very large extent that, I promised myself on that day, that One day I gonna be like him(Though not in the cricket field).

 Likewise, the day I watched your speech at one young world in 2012 in YouTube, I instantly became your fan. Then I decided, one day I am gonna become like him. Today at the conference, when you walked up to the stage and started giving an excellent view of your life, that was an amazing feeling for me. Felt so inspired, energized, *adjective*ed. Today, watching you in live was a total fanboy moment for me.
Thank you so much sir!

There must also be the warmth that I always needed. b. Every step I put requires the strength  Of wanting. I wander. I get lost. I wander. I find. c. Every play has 3 parts to it. The beginning. Feels terrible. The interval. Realization and the urge to get closer. The end. Finding the familiarity. The more I get lost, the more I find a part within me that I barely knew existed.

A personal note on That Antha Eli- A Kannada Short Film

When you are with your friends just about talking, while the conversation skipping from one dissociated topic to the next, have you ever observed that it's the most boring, daily life incident narrated by that one friend that gets the group hooked and NOT the most flamboyant piece of information that another friend had to say? What do you think? Good oratory skills you may say, but that's just a tiny part of the whole incident. Well, then, you may say it's the incident itself that made the narration so interesting, you may counter, but then it's a boring incident, no? Perhaps It's the culmination of both the ideas- the tool used for narration (oratory skills/screenplay) and making the banal idea into the most interesting part of the story (tell what is necessary to your friends/editing) The idea of this short film sounds too flat when read on paper. So to make it sound vibrant, we thought, after several discussions on the location that we were going to the making fi
