Let’s take a flower. Any flower. Take a close look at it. You may see a pattern of well-arranged symmetrical petals. Go even further, and you will see the parts of the flower formed in a certain way. A microscopic view gets you to a whole new pattern. Going down even further would reveal a pattern of a different kind. It goes on until it is indivisible. At the macroscopic level of a flower, it seems like a simple, beautiful flower. Only on inquiry does the flower reveal the complications of its beauty. Objectively, the beauty of a flower does not mean anything, but it’s the subjective inquiry towards something, the pursual, that reveals the ultimate truth. It’s the subjective pursual of beauty, the truth of the matter, that ends up forming the objectivity of the flower- The Ultimate Truth if you will. Take the same analogy and apply it to any aspect of your life, knowingly or unknowingly it will point you to the ultimate truth. Growing up, I was in awe of those who could perform on sta

A couple of days back I was at an Aadhar Card Centre to get my details updated. While I was waiting for my turn, I was just observing the surroundings and just about so, I went into the rabbit hole of thinking about how the Aadhar Card as an idea must have originated. It must have started with a purpose that every citizen of India must have a unique number through which the person is identified. Sounds simple, right? While the idea is simple at its core, when implemented at scale it becomes extremely complicated- a complex system, if you will. Let me go down the rabbit hole even further and I will do that by making a conjecture, the conjecture being, that any Primitive Idea when it is scaled at large becomes a very complex system. And moreover, the same pattern can be observed everywhere, right from the formation of cities from an evolutionary biological standpoint to the present-day human behavior in society and whatnot! Let me explain what I mean. To implement the idea of assigning

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
