Weekly Update !!!

Hello ma dear frns...

What a wonderful week it’s been … first got done with my application etc (aaaahhhhh what a  sigh of relief now fingers crossed … but I guess they’re gonna stay like that for another 4 months or so :P)…caught up with a couple of school friends and indulged in some movies music and literature...

First the frnds… well it’s a 'tale of two brothers'

Faisal Rahman… well 5 yrs back Mr. Faisal was not sure what he wants to do with his life caught up between doctors and engineers(his paternal relatives are all doctors n maternal relatives all engineers)… someone also suggested a BCom at Xavier’s but Mr. Faisal had other plans...a degree in Mass Communication... someone convinced Faisal. So Mr. Faisal enrolled for Mass Com at Xavier’s and that’s where things started changing… for the better of course. His college days are full of short films… one of which i like a lot … u can check it out here The Landlady part1 ,The Landlady part2. So after passing out, this dude worked in CTS for 8 months or so (yeah …if ure in Xavier’s doesn’t matter what branch ure studyin :)) n then quit only to join FTII, pune for a course in film making (people like Anurag Kashyap do their workshops there) … again like in my earlier post I’d like to mention its immensely tough to get into FTII … u really have to be something. I could c the FTII change when i met him yesterday … one look at him and ull kno hes an artist (it’s not just about growin ure hair or wearing kurta n jeans mind you…). I guess it’s the company of like minded people who understand u and ure work that really adds that extra bit. Im sure very soon Faisal will be a part of some big screen thing, and when he does that I’ll write a blog about that too!!!

Mr Faisal Rahman has a very very talented and amiable younger brother Safdar, who is absolutely amazing … this dude was in the school cricket team( wicket-keeper/opening batsman), football team (he was the striker), won at least half a dozen medals in the annual school athletic meet every year, was the school long distance champion, is a top student, scored above 90 % in his board exams, was a scrabble champion as a kid and has read almost any book u can name… so this genius m talkin about … well at the end of class 10 when everyone was thinking bio or maths , he decided to take up commerce and then when every commerce student was thinkin of a BCom or Eco(Hons) … well he opted for a BA(Hons) in English… why??? … because that’s what he wants to do … also Mr Safdar Rahman is deeply involved in theatre and just completed shooting for a short film yesterday.

Well what can I say … it’s amazing to know such people, who have the guts to go with their heart and do what they really want to !!!

Ok now the music n movies…

Movie : Closer… amazing movie … much closer to reality than most movies that deal with a  similar issue… also really nice background music especially The Blower’s Daughter n Cold Water, both by Damien Rice.

Music: Heavy by Collective Soul

Check my Brain from Alice in chains’ nu album Black gives way to Blue

I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin

Right Round by Flo Rida feat. Kesha … really kool track gets u all groovin’

some people asked me why paper aeroplane... well because i feel like one... also there's an amazing song by the same name by KT Tunstall

Ummm….I really wanted to write something about the reading ive done in the past few days but I’ll save that for another time …

Ok then guys... take care n Eid Mubaarak !!!
