My Favourite Directors - I

Why I am an ac of Sekhar Kammula:

  1. Because, he was the first director in Tollywood in recent times to have successfully combined commercial success with clean entertainment.
  2. Because, his female leads' reel makeup is lesser than even their real makeup.
  3. Because, it is always his female lead who proposes to the hero.
  4. Because, his female leads are exactly the way I would want my life partner to be. (Actually I hate him too for this - because I can never get such a life partner)
  5. Because, his protaganists are incapable of breaking other people's bones.
  6. Because, his antagonists are more well behaved with women than protagonists of one so called star director of Tollywood, who finishes a film in 3-4 months.
  7. Because, he doesn't contradict his own fundamental theme, unlike one exceptionally good dialogue writer turned director of Tollywood.
  8. Because, his one and only item song so far, couldn't go past a Qawwali style melody. 
  9. Because, he is incapable of making holes in his script to comply with commercial formulas.
  10. Because, he radiates so much of optimism through the children (and others too) in his films, at a time when media(telecast especially) wants to lead people from skepticism to cynicism.
  11. Because, his films reflect the wonderful human being that he is.
  12. Because, he is this generation's answer to the likes of Bapu-Ramana.

My Short Liners - III

  1. If it's time to part ways, let it be so;
    for to truly love is to know when to let go.
  2. Learning is easy. It takes courage and energy to un-learn 
  3. Life may win all the battles, if it chooses to, but the war belongs to Death.
  4. An infinitesimal candle is more powerful than the infinite darkness 
  5. Fast numbers are like impulses, but melodies are monotonically increasing functions 
  6. We don't have to be altruists; it is enough if we are not predators. 
  7. Two things that never let you sleep peacefully: Uncommon goal that blanks your mind and Common cold that blocks your nose.
  8. When you can't fathom your goal; keep treading the paths that you relish - and hopefully the path leads to the goal; Or what's better the realization that journey is only the destination.
  9. Let Success not make me arrogant and failure diffident
  10. The only book that makes people lazy - Facebook

My Short Liners - II

  1. Pain is the mother of humour; not affluence.
  2. Hope - The only main course for one billion people; the only dessert for another billion and half.
  3. The most misrepresented entity by films and mass media - Love.
  4. Love and Knowledge have a peculiar quality; they multiply when given and diminish when withheld.
  5. Positive Frustration leads to Innovation.
  6. Uncertainty gets fear along with it. But it also brings a reward; Excitement.
  7. Concentrate on being good; doing good will be taken care of.
  8. There is no such thing as Ctrl + Z in reality.        
  9. You can not have smoke without fire. If you see the smoke and not the fire, it only means that you don't know where the fire is located.
  10. What runs this world? Love Or Money? Or Love for Money?
