Do you know what I want just now? A decent video camera, and a compatible video editing software. I feel like making a movie. Just. Out of the blue. I don't have a script, or a story, and of course no actors. But I just love the whole idea - it is so exciting! I mean, to think of something, and make it materialize! Imagine an entire sequence, and then create the thing and capture it to see it again and again and again. And if it is decent, then show it to other people as well. Today, I want to be a film maker. And a designer as well. I've spent an hour trying to make a dress for my doll. I once almost made one successfully, and then lost patience with the stitching. Let's see what happens about this one. Actually, I want to be a fashion stylist, not a designer. Fashion journalism sounds cool too. (I saw the movie, and I'm reading the book - The Devil Wears Prada, and I had these interests from ever earlier.)
If someone takes me, I might be interested in advertising modeling, but I'm ultra-choosy.
And I love songs, and I love to talk, so I could also be an RJ or a VJ.
And I have a whole lot of creative ideas, and I can really convince people, so being a copywriter in advertising won't be bad either. In fact, every not-well-made ad makes me pity those people who waste precious screen time on bad ads.
I'm writing these blogs, and one day, I will write well, and then I'll become a print journalist. I can really not be a TV journalist considering the kind of nonsense they have to present as 'BREAKING NEWS'. Aamir Khan cropped his hair. Breaking news. Salman Khan to host a TV show. Breaking news. A kid fell in the gutter. Breaking news. And mind you, about the kid falling in the gutter, it is breaking news from the time he's discovered, to the time he's outside, which could mean that the news talks about him only, for 27 hours. I mean, is that really the most important thing in the world? Kid fell in, then take him out! Don't tell us what you gave him to eat for Christ's sake!
Even for print, I see myself freelancing, if I ever get in, that is.
Event management and brand management are other likely options.
And now, I have to eliminate almost all options to decide upon what I actually finally have to do! Crazy thing, this.
But I guess it'll work out, and, sort of, magically unfold before me. Or at least, I hope so...
But you know what!? In the middle of all that, there are more than a hundred things that I have to do. I've listed 135 already, and I can think of 5 more at the given moment. It's like this list, of what I have to do before I can check out heaven.
Some of them read like this:
Get a temporary tattoo on my back.
Learn to ski.
See the Taj Mahal by moonlight.
Make 10 prank calls in a row.
At least ‘see’ the Ty Warner Penthouse on the 52nd floor of the Four Seasons Hotel.
Sky dive.
Throw a dart at a map, and go there.
Be in two places at once.
Donate blood.
Throw a coin in the Trevi fountain, at night.
Watch an Atif Aslam concert, live.
Have Bill Gates adopt me, or be in place of Allegra Versace.
Give an autograph.
...these are the most sane, the most possible things on my list! (Apart from the Bill Gates/Versace part of it - but can you believe Allegra Versace is going to inherit all of the Versace 'empire'!! I deserve it more I suppose? :P )
Anyway, enough for the day I guess. Nobody likes long posts.
Bye!
Bye the way...I mean, by the way, suggest a short movie story if you're very creative - one which does not require too many characters, or suggest what I should be doing for a future..(?) Or just post your list of things to do in this life!
Cheers!

6 people actually cared to comment, what about you?:
Good blog. Can feel the freshness around. The star next to the zeitgeist made it feels like Russian Communism met Nazism. Just kidding!
Now, coming to your post. Yes, at one point of time (almost) everyone wants to do a million things, and in the part time available, a million more. I too had so many wishes like that, from possible, to seemingly possible and way beyond into the impossible.
Then, talking of movies, and ideas; have you seen mono acts done by Patrick Stewart (of Star Trek, X-Men and so on). He does the theatrical adaptations of famous plays and does them as monologues. Why don't you try something of that sort? (*if it fits your taste, that is).
hehehe
that's quite a long wishlist!
I will pray that each and every comes true(ofcourse the realistic one's).
thnks for coming, jagadeesh, and piyush ji!!
thanks for the idea, jagadeesh...but u knw me a lil bit at least, and this sounds boring...nt tht i knw much abt it, bt it still sounds boring.. :|
piyush ji! yea..let all of them come true! u never knw...miracles also happen! actually, 1 thing on my list says, 'To witness a miracle' .. :P
Ek chhota sa comment Vikalp Se bhi sun lo....
All wishes will come true..but one by one... and as The Secret says (u've read it) Like attarcts Like and u have to make that thought ur dominant thought... What u think about u bring about....right...
So start thinking afresh and prioritize ur list...
For a movie...well i have a story...a very short one...with abt 4-5 characters...can make a good 30 min play...
cant write it here...comment bahut lamba ho jayega...
its abt a Barber, some of his child clients and his own son....
I enjoyed reading ur blog...was really good.... keep posting...
The blog tells me u have either seen or read a walk to remember.. (the comment about witnessing a miracle sealed it)
Well lovely dreams.. Dream on and maybe a few years down the line come back and look at the list..
it's one of my most favourite films :)
and, yeah, i'm going to keep looking at it, and keep crossing off things one after the other as they materialize.. fun, na? ;)
