My dearest Ef .. give it your word, your efforts , your all , in letting the World know of this film ‘DASVI’ .. of Abhishek
for those that are Hindi challenged ‘dasvi’ means 10th .. the 10th standard or in todays terms grade , or in my time class .. its the 10th class in School .. and the story of a Chief Minister and his story of passing this examination, even though he is jailed ..

Birthday - Ef - Sudhir Kulkarni .. Wednesday, March 23 .. वर्ष नव , हर्ष नव , जीवन उत्कर्ष नव .. the love and the greetings of the Ef in your aloof abode .. ❤️❤️
and the work continues relentlessly .. as a break for the night to fall prepares the sets, I think of this , so even if there is a delayed respite tonight , there should not be the wait for the next morning, as does occur often ..
the beauty of work is its beauty in all forms .. not necessarily in the liking, but work accepted is worked on in the work mode .. and the best needs to be given each day each hour ..
is there really an explain or dictum or mean of ‘professionalism’ .. to some and to all it differs and one learns to respect it .. in the end though it is the work that counts, particularly in the profession of film .. the audience sees the work, not the conditions it was made and delivered in .. and quite frankly why should they .. that is why they pay for it ..
i may have struggled a million times to deliver what comes across as a finale in seconds, without the consideration of the viewer on its delivery system .. it wants to be delivered for the price it demands .. and that is the truth beyond question and doubt ..
ok enough of the professionalism chirp .. !
what engages when out on outdoors is the environ change .. one that has been talked of often .. the room, the desk the bed the wash room the daily chores in changed arrangements .. the hand moves in the direction of the home routine, but discovers that there is a change .. and by the time one gets acclimatised to the change another occurs and another and another ..
which I might add is true under the present ..
the 3 city3 state3film1Tv is not just an algorithm .. its factual .. and ye shall see in time ..
there is no complacency, no .. there is a manner that has begun to erupt about the about .. smile wave acknowledge speak converse pleasantries ..
no none of that emerges , with age i think and the idea of solitude in the late years is not a menial attire .. it is the ultimate fashion in the life of the lived .. with the grace and gratitude accorded to the self ..
accept it .. hold on to it .. it is unsinkable .. !!
with the love and the grace that it abounds with my , love for all
Amitabh Bachchan
an after thought : still greyed in heavy, still pot bellied and still stilled in the Padmini Fiat .. old barely moving, but moving .. never could fit my feet inside so used to drive by sitting on the back seat .. the legs reached ..
incidentally the Padmini Fiat was the first car I bought with my own earned money .. yellow orangish in colour .. after joining the films .. getting up early to wash and clean it and wipe all the dirt away .. like possessing your first new shoes .. you slept with them under your pillow .. or no maybe it was white off white in colour .. mechanic took it for a ride and accidented it .. lost interest and got my next one .. but that is a long story ..

हाआआआएईईईहाईई एक लाऽऽंबि साँस … of relief and away from cautious quiet .. the safety and the apprehensions aside and sided for the time .. the drain of the entire day downed in the bubble of the bull rings of Spain in the orange and red of their major colour systems .. but mostly red .. open lidded not once but twice .. after an interval of almost decades .. naaaa .. that would be a lie .. but to be in safe quarters 3-4 weeks ..
wait ..
I must another ..
aa yes .. aaah .. rumbling along or rather stumbling along in shuffles of the famous replica warms of the traditional Dutch shoes - chappals .. the feet warm and covered , a gift , forgotten but not by me ..
gifts yes .. gifts ..
they that come form the love and affection come straight up to me room behind my desk and kept .. and kept and kept .. for long amid immense reprimands of opening and organising them or putting them away .. but
NO .. never put them away .. the love and the care and the affection that builds draws writes designs with such precision and creativity must remain with me to feel and assess the reason for their making .. time spent in thought , in the way to put it across .. to deliver .. to see it gets the destination ..
is not an easy job .. it is a dedicated act of the attachment which has remained for ages .. undisturbed, unperturbed , untroubled , with but one intent .. the acceptance from the receiver and an acknowledgement ..
I do I do I do ..
it may not be known or seen or written, but .. I do ..
( phew .. sounds like the bride and groom at the church wedding ) ..
but it is a marriage .. of our connect for eternity ..
And the hour has past the 12 .. and gone by unrealised of its passing .. so a quick reverse of the DAY .. the work , albeit in just a gesture for a friend and maker ..
.. a pot bellied , aged grandfather .. of small mid town .. ruffled unkept face and clothing .. simplicity mannered and more of the presence and silence than the dramatic words or acts of any other ..
like 34 .. errrr .. ok bad example , lets not bring that in just because it was presented today .. like .. errr ..
dunno’ ..
… like .. err.. listening in to the reason for the act ..
.. to be in a cinema hall , watching an ol’ time film .. for which the camera crew felt was kind of exciting to see me in a cinema hall when they would be their sitting and watching me on the screen ..
dear o’ dear people never learn to battle with the craft and the raft ..
.. but he does - the Shoojit .. of PIKU, and PINK and undeclared in custom dutied godowns of posterity SHOEBITE , and the did not see the AB , in the GULABO SITABO .. and the 103987 ad., films done .. including the everlasting KHUSHBU GUJARAT KI ..
.. yes the wait after .. and the entire day spent in the ‘thank God for the inventions of information’ to trace and follow and be in despair as to what would be the reality in the .. never mind ..
it worked , despite the ‘asani’ ..
yes yes yes .. the detailed wonder of the Ef that would notice and point out in anger .. why what happened . why the band aid on the finger .. !!
phhhh .. it’s those little cuticles that stand out and rub against every thing to touch hold , with ouch .. that which was not cut , so it could be taped before the curried non veg could with its chillied masala find its way inside and make it worse .. got it ..
actually there is another on the other hand too .. good you cannot see ..
12 : 21 it says .. its the AM of 22 ..
gulp the incentive and off to the adjoining under the sheets of the cool and cold white .. for not so early as before , but a night too later ..
got to finish in time for the next travel and work ..
3 cities 3 states 3 films 1 Tv .. all in the spate of .. never mind .. it shall raise comments agin ..
GN Gn Gn GN Gn GN .. good night , shubhratri, shabbakhair ..

Birthday - EF Ropaa , Egypt flower girl .. Meenu Gupta .. Sikandar Khan Monday, March 21 .. and wishes to the courageous and the strong to peace and calm always on such auspicious days ..
trials and tribulations .. each day .. the mind is exhausted with thought and thoughts of the multiple factors about .. the security of home and in the company of known is preferred .. but at times the reverse occurs and there is frustration and disconnect .. especially so in the field of creation and creativity ..
tolerance is the mode and so shall it be ..
i am in need for a pillow to rest the over action in the cerebrum ..
so pardon ..
good night ..

Happy birthday to Ef Syed Kabeeruddin from Bangalore .. for tomorrow March the 19th .. 🎂🎉
And .. for the greeting missed on the 17th .. it’s happy wedding anniversary to Ef Sonia .. 💍💕
Love and the wishes ever for peace and of a life full of smiles and fulfilment .. ✨💠
may there be the colours of peace and calm .. ever .. 🌹
.. a quiet and undisturbed festival at home .. kids out of town and country .. and a ‘barsi’ of family member ..
travel tomorrow .. and as ever the apprehension of new projects and the ones that have been on board to be justifiably within the range of subjective ‘deed done’ ..
what is it that makes one restless before the assignment .. many are so calm and collected .. others like moi so deranged with all the negatives possible .. dear o dear .. how ever can this change ..
but each day is a learning and the medical known today for a cold and blocked nose , and the sound and travel of the time of blowing it, going into the ears was unexplained till the doc educated it ..
there is a connection between the nose and the ear .. and if the nose is blocked, when it is blown, the blown block changes course and goes into the ears and causes pain .. remedy .. unblock the nose .. more particularly when you fly , for on take off and landing the pressure is great and causes discomfort and pain ..
ok enough of medicine and pains .. off to the resting and do know that it is these elements that connect us all ..
wonder ..
the still camera friend Avinash loved this .. said it reminded him of a certain Vijay Dinanath Chauhan .. 🤨
this is the greatest of all elements ..
Good night .. and love and the blessings of the Almighty on this festive day ..

holika burns amidst the moon in its brightness .. evil be destroyed .. peace and well being prevail .. the colours of Holi bring life and light .. and may the varied colours be the colours of our lives - bright shining and in the happiest of celebrations ..
celebration shall be restricted .. passings in the family on the day .. distant form home .. and the protocol of the virus ..
ritual love and ritual deeds .. so alluring to the minds of us through the ages and ages of belief and faith .. may they prolong our happiness in all forms .. may they bring harmony and peace .. may it bring succour to the suffering .. and healing to the distressed ..

.. the complicated exterior for the interior to be presentable ..
.. and Rana the actor of fame .. shooting next door and drops by to visit me .. so obliged and humbled ..
.. on a train again .. the train rides of the earlier years come floating by .. and with nostalgia - some exciting some not ..
.. smile and the World shall smile with you .. even though we are aware that in some parts of the Universe this is hard to come by .. but we hope and pray that peace prevails .. and suffering ceases ..
One of the most irritating conditions to be in is the common cold .. and even though it may be addressed as ‘common’ it is indeed quite uncommon , at least from the conditions that my damaged body goes through ..
So one bears ponders and continues ..
the ad., shoot for the RBI was somewhat train borne and stable .. it was in completion sooner than what the ‘chaukadi’ had imagined .. but it was over .. and then around 16 shorter videos were done and accomplished before the lunch break could be announced .. pretty cool na !
.. but the medication is drowsy filled and containing elements that bring lethargy to the fore front .. and one copes with that .. somewhat .. 😅 and the afternoon nap after ages allows the time to flow by for another 4 hours .. 4 hours of rest ! that is amazing, but due mainly to the drugs for the cold .. hmmm ..
So when there is opportunity to nap while being driven to home, the mind still maps the route being taken and visually keeps informing the mind as where we have reached, until the bell rings and home has arrived .. strange ain’t it !!
Interpretation of dreams is something that has been of interest and there have been many suggestions for its reveal, but without any success .. books and gurus of the medium have registered their valuable inputs but it has always fallen short of the reality , for the reality is of little verified truth than any other ..
What could be a dream for one could be a nightmare for the other and vice versa .. so we despair not and allow in its frequency to be held without reason and live in the realm of imagination and its fructification ..
spoken but never valued ..
as it nears the hour, the wish shall be pronounced to the first born - Shweta , named by Babuji as Shwetambara , the one clad in white , Saraswati the Goddess of Learning .. wisdom perception and good sense !
I leave .. and love ..

Tomorrow .. March 16th .. be the birthday of Ef Kalpana Kakade .. and Ef Bharat Gupta from the Kutch of Gujarat ..
And it’s happy birthday to Ef Manish Mishra for the 15th ..
And happy wedding anniversary to Ef Krishna Kant Dangi for the 13th ..
Love and prayers .. 🙏🏻💠✨… and my wishes for safety and peace and calm .. love from the Ef 🌹
promoting what you have made for others to go and see .. the PR machine taking over .. the publicity managers, the designers who shall design what needs to be said to get people to come in their masses to see the film ..
.. and the joint day of work and an aspect of film making where the making of the promotion is never less than the making of an entire film ..
So its the versatile Ajay and his film Runway 34 .. Produced, Directed, Acted and did every conceivable work related to the film himself .. a task of immense difficulty .. especially when each shot designed by him has 12 cameras running at the same time, and he gets up from his acting shot after it is over to check each camera before moving on ..
and meetings and discussions for the future projects .. and then finally ending up a short while ago at ..
Mapping ..
mapping your face ..
the gadgetry that captures each and every pore of your face and body and technically recreates another YOU .. without you being there ..
so bye bye Ef .. another recreated AB shall be meeting you at the gates of Jalsa, even before the protocol of the dreaded CoViD has subsided ..
wait for the results .. what they showed me today at the laboratory where I had to spend 4 hrs making every conceivable facial expression, has been un believable .. but then so is modern science and invention ..
technology has eventually taken over the human .. and in time shall take over the mind as well .. think like us without us knowing that what we thought was our thought without thinking .. 🤪
I must to bed .. early call tomorrow to guide the listeners and viewers on the merits of the Reserve Bank of India .. as their Brand Ambassador ..

The process of thought in these days and times is a process which I now discover, has been notoriously given the pseudonym of a certain Shri Googlé !
It used to be ‘when in doubt, shout’ , but then since, the affections have altered and the informant of all possible required information rests peacefully with the Shri G ..
And the gentleman has such a vast sense of obligation that even in the worse case scenarios , unknown, unaltered, by any circumstance, he responds with reason and effect .. when he knows !
When he does not, he has the honesty to say so, in unabashed brazen and audacious verbology .. and even in this unfound word it tells me that it could be an expression in the ‘urban dictionary’ not typically in use ..
SO ..
( many may wonder where this is leading to )
every now and then a reference is desired and at times they belong to a category that may never have a direct meaningful mean .. so what does one do .. ?
we refer to it in any case , and when questioned point towards that emoj’d finger in the other direction .. 👈 / 👉 ..
I tried that, not so very long ago and discovered that the intel quotient in the system is actually prepared for all circumstances .. it can manufacture run it and lock you out if needed ..
Which brought memories of the film ‘2001 Space Odyssey’ and the human manufactured computer system Hal on board .. which actually has been preprogrammed by the human to defy human behaviour or command .. it being the most brilliant moment in the film .. and its death by physically unscrewing his parts is the most poignant moment - the dichotomy of a human, killing another human manufactured human ..
Oh mr Kubrik you are a genius Stan .. in every film you designed, the variety, the innovative condensation, the genre shift in each, has without doubt made you stand out as the ‘greatest cinematic human’ - pardon the pun .. of all time ..
AND ..
the choosing of the name for the on board computer as Hal .. was simply stupendous ..
HAL as in Shakespeare’s Henry .. Henry the V or the VI th in their notoriety .. or was it derived from the French Henri .. often pronounced .. Onree .. and then straightened out to the simpler Henry or nick named Hal ..
Dear O dear ! .. we started with what and have landed up somewhere in the odyssey of unrelated unconcerned mirrored intelligentsia ..
yes I do this at times .. 🤪
