Talent unlimited

You switch on TV channels today and all you find is reality TV. Talent shows get the cream. Any channel you know has a talent show and its disturbing to see how many lives are disturbed because of this. These shows produce one day wonders and buy the time the contest reaches its finals, a thousand lives are already at stake.

Real talent has to be nurtured. Like real flowers need to bloom and die on a plant and not decay on a bouquet, real talents need to be nurtured and guided properly. One has to grow as a person before he gains popularity or before he can actually handle popularity. You can be talented, but for you to shine out as a star you need personality and this personality has to root out from within oneself. You can twinkle a day and vanish away, but for you to be a real star – you need to eternally shimmer. . and that demands for a lot of fuel.

bliss

I can’t believe I am out of college and now in a career and all that. I think Growing old makes you so boring. Being a child is a real bliss. When you are kid, you are so close to nature. Physically too you are very close to the earth, and because of the closeness you let the greenery to flourish in your heart. When you grow old, you grow taller and away from the earth and you too let the emptiness of the sky fill in you.

Why should we grow? Why should all the greenery go away? Why do we need to reach the sky? The higher we fly, the greater we fall . . .

I wish I could be a child once again …and fall as many times in a day as I did . . and yet keep smiling and not be hurt . .

I wish I could be blissful

ದೀಪ

ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಹೊಸ ದಿನ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಹೊಸ ಪಯಣ

ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಹೊಸ ಕಣ್ಣೀರು ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಹೊಸ ಮುಗುಳ್ನಗೆ

ಮತ್ತದೇ ಸಂಜೆ ಮತ್ತದೇ ರಾತ್ರಿ

ಮತ್ತದೇ ಬೆಳಕು ಮತ್ತದೇ ಕತ್ತಲು

ಕ್ಷಣಿಕ ಸತ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅರ್ಥ ಹುಡುಕುವುದೀಕೆ?

ಸುತ್ತಲೆಲ್ಲಾ ಕತ್ತಲು ತುಂಬಿರುವಾಗ ಕಣ್ಮುಚ್ಚಿ ಮನಸ್ಸಿನೊಳಗೆ ಇಣುಕಿ ನೋಡಿದೆ

ಮನದ ಮೂಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ದೀಪ ಉರಿಯುತ್ತಿತ್ತು

ಅದರ ಬೆಳಕು ಪ್ರಖಾರವಾಗಿರದೆ ಇದ್ದರು ಬೆಚ್ಚಗಿತ್ತು

ಕತ್ತಲು ಕ್ರಮೇಣವಾಗಿ ಮಾಯವಾಯ್ತು

ಬೆಚ್ಚನೆಯ ನಗುವೊಂದು ಮುಖದಿ ಮೂಡಿತ್ತು

ದೀಪ ಹಚ್ಚಿ ಇಟ್ಟಿರುವ ನಿನಗೆ ಅಭಿನಂದನೆಗಳು!!!

JACK NICOLSON - God of Acting. His sincere performances and brilliant characterisation techniques leave me dumbfounded every time . . .

Anant Nag - The greatest actor alive in India . . . If you want to know what an actor can do . . just observe him on screen . . . .you will know

Bomman Irani - Witty, smart and brilliant. one of the few actors who can afford to be very versatile . . and yet be unique every time

Meryl Streep - Her acting is magical. Her eye can move an inch and write poetry

Shabana Azmi - I feel the magic of an eye and glittering tears were all made for this brilliant actor...... she has etched my heart with her brilliant performances

Konkona Sensharma: the most sincere and down to earth performer.... She can act seemlessly and thats her greatest strength.

To my love . . .

I was sitting in may shooting location today. The place is awesome. Almost like a farm house. Cut far away from the maddening crowd. You find a lot of silence here. Silence is not always pleasant. Some times it pierces your ears with its latent sound.

Silence is like the color black. Just like black absorbs all colors. . silence is the furnace of the loudest noises one can hear. External sounds divert you from within. Silence draws you closer to your self. Your self is now so loud that you can barely take the noise that emerges from within.

The deepest noise from within me was musical. Yet it was disharmonious. The melodies were layered. One layer had the four seasons violin concerto by Vivaldi and the other layer was the background score from the film psycho. The melodious string quartets were disturbed by the cut sounds of the psychotic music.

Melodies and chaos cannot co exist. Yet, when they do, they deafen your logical reasoning. One cant be sad all the time. One cant be happy all the time either. But if a person is happy and sad at the same time, he will go mad soon. . . .

I caress you with my hands,

And smell your fragrance . . .
I obsess about you

And honor your arrogance

I always love you for why you were

But I will never know if I can love you for what you have become…

Distance has a blessing

Distance has a curse

What is all the blessings worth

If you are left alone to savor the curse

You have gone so far away, that I can touch you no more

Caress you no more..

I can smell you no more and

Obsess about you no more. .

You are now just a memory

A thing of the past

I deserve more than loyalty

Not a love occasionally found and usually lost.

FLAUNTING PART II

flaunting some more pics . . he he why have I turned into such a show off?

Finally . . . . . . . .!!!!!

I caught up with this new movie called kalaakaar in kannada. Was immensely impressed with how well it was made. Neat film.

But what took me to ecstacy was that, the hero of the film Harish Raj truely rockssss!!! I am his huge fan now. He was well known as a TV actor and had given many neat performances in certain off beat films like Dweepa and KAnooru heggadati. But his new avtaar as this commercial hero blew me away......

He is sexy, Handsome, Cute and more than anything gifted with a lot of talent. He is a complete package. And finally, a face to reckon with in kannada cinema.

He is the face that was missing. He has glamour . . can talk well . . technically sound . . acts wonderfully . . . and thats a rare combo.

all these years I have been totally looking out for a star who can be all these and I am glad i finally found one in Harish....

here are a few pics of this deserving star for people who arent acquainted with him

Way to go man . . you ROck!!!! and hope u do lot of good work and luck and opportunity come to you in abundance. You have come here to stay.... :)
