The last time I wrote, in May, was about the Khoi Hui Zindagi, about the turmoil in my heart. Which way to chose, how to follow my heart, about the consequences of the path and all that a person running behind dreams; experiences with the relationships he shares with the people around.
There were thoughts, that I could have posted, but rather I chose to post it on micro blogging site from time to time. The larger, macro thoughts, I better kept reserved to my blog here. But of what little I posted on the sites like www.ionisee.com,
www.facebook.com kept me alive and connected with the so called socially virtual world.Today, when I am at the brink of very happening, fascinating acting career that coincides with the release of the much loved film 'the social network', that could shape the real world (me in terms of where I go from my first performance, and more real films like this may come) this seemed to me as an apt time to write on this most loved space of mine.
The Social Network, directed by David Fincher and starring Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg founder of widely popular facebook.com is an amazing and 'most' real film in these times. The movie traces the journey of Mark, a Harvard student, who invented facebook.com with fellow students.
Based on the non-fiction book 'The Accidental Billionaire' which comprises the narration given by Eduardo Saverin, co-founder of facebook.com and his lawsuit against his friend and founder Mark, the film holds you from the scene one and establishes Mark as a very smart, ambitious person who went social about his girlfriend ditching him and thus tries hard to seek social acceptance.
Film cuts sleekly between the lawsuit and the flashback story, leaving on you to decide, whether whatever Mark does is right or wrong. Although you know what's the end of the film gonna be, your anticipation just builds with every razor sharp defense that Mark puts forward. Surely, this one is the movie of the year!
Spiral Bound-The play in which I got to recently act, has been a beautiful experience. With every line and with every word uttered, I just learned and enjoyed my most passionate craft - acting! The play, addresses the eternal question of identity, of self and society yet again, through a group of characters that lose and gain themselves in different stage of reality. I am glad that I happened to be a part of this and now the joy has just got even bigger as, we have been shortlisted to perform!
The journey, the pehla padav to my most desired path is set and I know there is miles to go before I sleep. But this feeling of joy and the experience and learning that I am carrying will help me to sustain in the difficult things to come in this beautiful fascinating journey.
