Desires are what you are

Desires are what you are……

It was your desire to be a human,
It was your desire to behave like one ,
It was your desire to live like one ,
That God granted…..

Desires are what you are……

You wished to be loved by all
You wished to be respected by all
You wished to be justified by all
That is what you have made yourself into,

Desires are what you are……

You saw equality ,
You saw compassion,
You saw hate …..
This is what you got

Desires are what you are…..

The world is huge,
So is your desire ,
But the biggest thing is your Conscience
And your weapon is choice……

Choices are what you want from your desires….

Desires are what you are……

My Photos..... thanks to Moon Gogoi.

Thankyou Moon,
Now that i am working towards making acting as a career. Desperately needed few photos done. Now, here came my dear friend moon and he clicked my pics. These pics are taken by normal digital camera. He is working as a cameraman. Many friends were telling me to go for professional photographers but i was not into that . One point being i didn't want to waste so much money. If you have heard these photo shoots are very costly.

Second point my opinion is that acting is more important than the photos. Those photo shoots are for models , as i belive in acting the casting directors just need photograph of actors face which is usually called Headshot. To have a idea of how they look. They can't transform the actors into someone else which they don't look like which is done in modelling.

Now, my concentration is doing few roles and know what my acting calibre is ???????????????????

Nobody knows...... done theatre but film and television is a different ball game it is like comparing badminton to lawn tennis. I will give my best. Just hoping it will be considered best by others too. :-)

I had to cut my beard because of the photoshoot very sad. :-(

PS. I hate photos worked on photo shop but moon said you have to work on it as these days everybody uses it if they are giving photos for professional use.

So, the first phot is without photoshop and rest two worked. Let me know which one you like most.

OH God ! why was i so mean???????????????

I was 7-8 years old. I with my brother had gone to a sweet shop. We were to purchase mithais there especially prepared by them. That sweet was so famous and it was in a village and who ever passed that place would buy it. Why we were there. My father being a doctor would get transferred to weird places and this one was a block called Chauparan, Hazaribagh district, Jharkhand state. I was studying in Kurseong, Darjeeling at that time and we had three months winter break Dec-feb. because of snowfall.

Now that we were in a village. I was sad............ i couldnot get whatever i wished for.....
Now, coming back to the point.
when we were at the shop there was a small kid who was a sort of help in that sweet shop and for some reason he started laughing. And i looked at him and didn't like it... I felt he is laughing looking at me . I felt maybe he was looking at my shoe.... and laughing........ Weird and pathetic me.

While we were going back to our place , I told my brother that i am not going to wear this shoe because he was laughing at it....... My brother tried to convince me and i think i didn't wear it again.....
..................
Can't remember any another incident but yes i have done many things which i hate and feel i had not done.... because it hurt someone else..... When we are in the real world and someone else shows meanness then we realize what we have been doing or even before that....... There are two ways in which a person can react .......... He can be more mean or become more polite.... I choose the later.
I am a Happy man.

PS. my dear brother it would be nice if you could add your side of the story too in the comment section....

20 days of doing nothing............................................................

20 days of doing nothing............................................................

My college completed on 18th june. I had thought will be working straight after this. Next day i am off to work and to my great great surprise nothing came up......... for 20 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had been working a little before finishing college so knew a few people working in great places and positions and to my great great surprise nothing came up .............. for 20 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally i realized the truth that nothing comes easy, even if you are ready to work hard there are few things everyone one has to follow. So, i made my CV. I had never thought will be doing so. I used to think i have been working since college will get some place some where but nothing came up.............. for 20 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never thought will be giving interviews and all but when college is completed you realize you are no prince of siberia. You have to slog like everyone else does. Pressure of standing on your own feet takes it's toll and you are all down in the dump. But these off times can make you realize what you really want to do..........

After 20 days of doing nothing I know.

I KNOW
what i wanted to do .......
It took a lot from me first i was staying alone..................
I realized how prisons must be................
because when you don't have any motive you are in prison................
20 days was enough i could have gone mad...............
there were few offers which i could take but where not related to my field........... so i waited and waited.............. Didn't take any of those............
First of all, i want to tell you all i want to be a film-maker............................
i was getting things in PR and journalism ...... ofcourse not through any interview or any thing but through friends................ With whom i had worked so that qualifies for interview as they know your work.
But no work work in film as an Asst. Director.......................... previously there were offers from Serial when i was in college but now when i needed there was none............ :-)
I got really irritated......... and i had done theatre from Dec 2006 till June 2008 and after that rarely because i was doing other things.......................
So, i had ACTING in mind...... but never wanted to give it a try............... really never................
because i really loved doing it.......... i used to think i will do it in theatre as it is much fun and never work for money and other S**t.........

Finally, where am i ............................
I have decided to adopt ACTING as my proffession....................... Had no other way out........
But you know what >>>>>>>>>>>>>
IT IS GOING TO BE REAL FUN ..........................................
Wish me luck and hope to see me soon....
yessssssssssssssssss
20 days of doing nothing had me discover myself.

Really, this is what i want to do........................
