Florida - Key West Trip

The trip itself was not well planned but we managed somehow to go Florida. The reason for all of us not sure of going for this trip was that mainly due to Suresh and myself. I was out of project in Nov 1st week and the trip we wanted to go was on Nov 23rd. I expected that i would get a job by Nov 23rd but i didnt get any. Also Suresh was looking for a job so he was also not sure. And mainly Bharat dropped out due to his personal reasons.

But finally on Nov 22nd me Stanley and Suresh firmly decided to go Florida along with Vijay who already booked his flight to Miami. We started from Richmond on Nov 23rd Wed night at around 10 o clock. Stanley, Suresh and myself rented a car from budget and left to Florida. We got a Crown Vic which looks like a cop car. We had fun in the journey which was for 15 hrs. Stanley drove first next Suresh, next myself and final touch by Stanley made us reach Miami, FL to Naveen's place. Vijay was already at Naveens apt but he wasnt.

We freshed up had some food and left to Miami hotel resort on Miami beach. Before we started to Miami we changed our car Crown Vic with Chrysler 300 at Ft Lauderdale Airport. We logged in the hotel at Miami and went out on beach in the evening. It was also dark. We went to a near by beach restaurant had some beer and quesadillas. That night we went to Night club and drank a lot of alcohol and came home at 4 am.

Next day we checked out of the hotel room and went to Miami beach. Stanley was sitting in Starbucks and me Vijay and suresh were walking along the beach side which was actually little boring. Then we had some beer. After Stanley finished his work we went into the beach played for sometiime which was also boring.

After the beach we freshed up somehow on the road and beachside restrooms. Then we left for shopping. We were already tired and sleep deprived. Shopping was fun on the Miami beach straight outlets. I bought a AIX jacket and others bought some other stuff. After that we went to Aventura mall some 15 miles away. There we spent something around 2 hrs till the mall closed. We started from mall went to Pizza hut who made horrible pizza but we ate it. We changed clothes in Pizza hut parking lot and again went to Miami South beach for Pubs/Night clubs.

We didnt had any room to stay so we parked our car in a parking lot and stanley decided to take some sleep since he got to drive to Keywest in few hrs.

Me Vijay and Suresh went out at 11.30 AM to hit night clubs but no one allowed us in. Vijay was dissapointed and i felt sorry for him, but i was doing alright just that i was tired i cudnt do anything but to relx and have some beer. Vijay tried a lot to get us inside atleast one club but the effort was wasted. Then me and suresh some how convinced vijay to go to Ocean Dr to have some beer.

We went to ocean dr and it was lot happening over there. We went to Clevelanders bar which was open bar and also lot happening. Vijay got involved and got into the groove. Me and Suresh had fun chatting and having some beer. Then we went to Mangos Tropical restaurant which was a very good place to drink and dance. Vijay had fun throughout though he was not satisfied. Finally we finsihed out clubbing and then returned back to parking lot woke up stanley and drove to Key West at around 4 AM.

We reached Key West at around 8 AM in the morning, and i didnt belive my eyes how beautiful Key West was. I liked Key West more than the Miami itself. It was fun seeing the blue waters and whte sand.
We freshed up at Mcdonalds and then started directly to the boat for rides as a package.

We went on a cruiser into the middle of the ocean for water sports which was lot of fun. We went into ocean at 10 am and came back at around 5 pm. We did Kayaking, Snorkelling, swimming, Banana Boat ride, Ate on the cruiser, smoked and had beer, went for para sailing and finally came back.

At 5.30 pm we went back to the hotel at Key West and checked in and slept for 3-4 hrs. We woke up at 10 and went to Subway and ate. At 11 pm we went to Duval St in Key West which is one of the best streets in USA acc to me for offering wide variety of Carribean style bars and pubs. Special mention would be Schooner Wharf for its authentic raw natural cheap style of the restaurant which attracted me towards it.
I felt as if iam in carribean actually i really was. Next best would be Ricks and list goes on. We did clubbing till 4 am and left to hotel and slept. We woke up at around 10 in the morning and drove back to Miami for dropping Vijay at Naveens place.

We reached Miami at around 2 pm had lunch at indian restaurant and met Naveen. It was nice to meet Naveen after many years. He was as it is when i met him last time around four years back. Good guy good humor and we had fun. Then we said good bye to Naveen and Vijay in Miami on Sunday at 4.30 pm and drove back to Richmond. Stanley drove first then Suresh and last myself. We reached Richmond at 7.30 AM on Monday.

End of the Trip.

Dishkiyaav Experiences !!!

My project ended on April 28th, 2011 and i landed in virginia on April 29th. Now i was flying to India on May 6th and we got a time gap of around 4-5 days. I had this buffer for shopping while i planned the trip but i didnt want to waste my time in relaxing. So i proposed an idea of shooting a shortfilm which will be really short. Our original script and project of Dishikiyaav was tuff to implement as we thought its a bigger project and it involved comedy in it. We wanted something which can be winded up really fast. So i used the characters which ive build for Original Dishkiyaav and created a another version which is lil bit serious in narration and decided to shoot it.
The problem was our DOP Suresh was in India and the worst part was our camera was along with him. But as everyone knows it just takes pure will to do something but not physical entities. I researched a lil on the DSLR's and chose Nikon D5000 as our camera for our new project. We bought it and i decided to shoot it myself now playing the role of a DOP.
We started shooting immediately and it took us around 3-4 days for the shooting to complete (80%). But the problem i faced was to handle the camera were i came to know how important a DOP is for a movie to look good. I screwed up the footage a lil bit in the form of focus errors but though the locations and framing were appreciated. I was dissapointed not only becoz of some errors but also becoz of the sound. Nikon wudnt record the sound so efficiently hence i decided to re-record the voices for the talkie scenes.
I flew to India and did some major editing work whenever i got time and this time moving a step ahead. After i came back to US on June 20th, we designed a trailer and put it on facebook for which we got good comments. We have also re-recorded the voices and shot the rest of the scenes.
But to my irony, everyone thought that the shortfilm which we shot was Dishkiyaav itself, as i also posted some messages saying that our next project is Dishkiyaav, but it was not. Even me myself submitted to the thought becoz there was more firing of bullets in the second untitled shortfilm than in the original script.
Though i didnt do it with all my heart, upon various suggestions and discussions we named our second project as DISHKIYAAV. This is almost ready except the BGS.

Being a Coward D12 (04/23/2011)

I was driving the car and my friend is beside me in the passengers seat. We were in a very difficult situation so as to escape from the dangerous goons chasing us like hell. My friend was firing at them by peeping out from the window. Even they were firing at us. I was stuck in the traffic at typical junction on indian roads. Goons also were stuck 2-3 cars behind us in the traffic. Suddenly i have seen on the face of the goons through my rear mirror and recognized him. I asked my friend to stop firing and got down from the car to walk towards the goons.

They were around 20-30 goons chasing us who got down from their cars. I spoke to them as i knew them somehow. They were shouting at me and wanted to kill my friend. I took them into a side street away from the main road as we were stopping the traffic. I negotiated with them but they were not in a mood to listen to me. They had knives and guns with them. I pleaded them to leave my friend. I also told them that my friend would come and accept his mistake if any and sorrify for what ever mistake he did. They said ok and asked me to bring my friend to them.

Now started the real drama. I was about to leave the side street then i over heard from them who were discussing themselves to finish off my friend right away when he arrives i was scared suddenly and didnt react at all. i kept walking to my friend, who was very furious over the goons who were chasing us. I pleaded him not to be violent as they are in plan to kill him. So i requested him to be calm and accept his mistakes and just say sorry to them. I dont know why and how it happened but my friend out of anger ran towards them to teach them a lesson. He was not ready to accept his mistakes.

I ran behind him but by the time i reached the entrance of the street. My friend was already walking into the goons. They did not allow me to go inside the side street, but i was able to hear the knives tearing the flesh out of my friend and i would clearly hear the death screams of my friend. I was terrified and jolted in shock. I somewhere knew that my friend was dead. Goons kicked me out of the street like a dog. I fell down on the mainroad. Got up in shock. Walked back to the car. Drove home.

I went into my friends house and found his mother working in the kitchen. I took the stairs and went to the first floor to my friends room and suddenly i heard loud screams of my friends mother saying " He is dead. He is dead. They killed him. All my life i have told him not to interfere with goons. But he never listened to me. He is now dead. Look how they killed him. Without any mercy. They cut him into pieces". I understood that the goons had thrown my friends body in front the house.

These screams travelled through my spine like drugs and made me electrified. As i turned around to step down stairs to go down i found my friends grandfather in front of me whose eyes where filled with tears. He said to me, " He used walk as if he was a hero always. Never listened to our words". Saying that he wept like a child by holding onto my shoulders. My eyes filled with tears now and i realised how coward i am/was at that moment.

By the time i was thinking of the revenge i woke up.

Chat with a Director D-11 (03/05/2011)

Me and one of my friend were at one of the famous director's apartment and discussing about his recent movie. We were actually explaining him how excellent was a scene conceived in his movie. Then he called two guys who were his asst. directors and told that the credit goes to these two guys whose effort behind that scene is terrific. He also said that particular scene was shot in 4 days by them. Then those two guys left the apartment.

Me and my friend were sitting on a floor mattrese along with the director who had couple of note books in front of him and few papers. He was writing something in the notebook and i tried to peep into his book and found the heading as Kitchen followed by mulitple bullet points which were like 6 cups, 10 plates, one stove etc. by which i thought he was writing list of items he needed for shooting his next movie scene. I was little amazed at how a director should take care of the intricate details of each scene. But then i asked him what was he writing.He replied saying that it is his daughters school record book which she asked him to do as she was sleeping.

I was now bit relaxed and told him what was my intial assumption. He then laughed and said we are not in 1950's anymore. Then i was trying to relaxing on the mattress as if to take a nap then the director went from the sitting room to another room which a corridor or balcony from there he signalled me asking to some outside. Then me and my friend went to the balcony. Now i was about to ask him that whether i can smoke, but before i asked he asked me saying i wanted to a have a smoke thats why i called you. Then while we started smoking i asked him that why did he tell in an interview that he dosent smoke and in real life smokes.
He said yes its true. I told in an interview that i hate smoking. And still i hate smoking. But what can i do i cant stop right. I think its the same with you thats what he said.

Thirty Bucks Production No.2

"Idea creates energy.Energy creates work.Work creates result.Result creates another idea.So flow of life is nothing but never ending ideas."


The above quote seems to be so true to me as it applies to everyone, atleast for who know what is an idea. I was so connected to this quote once i saw it , becoz of the reason being that now the Final Edit of OUATIF is ready and is out for Music (Which is under process). Multiple ideas have been running in my mind saying what's next? Now when i got an idea of making a shortfilm, it created enormous energy in me which even my friends didnt believe that it was really me. With that energy i worked on the project and finished it (My part). With respect to my work i got some result. Though its not the final result, i was able to judge my skill and came to know what were the mistakes i commited and how can i correct them. Now with these results multiple ideas came flowing into my mind. Thus the flow started.


I think in the first week of Feb i watched one of my all-time favourite movie PULP-FICTION, coz i was just getting bored. I was trying to learn animation but iam not able to assemble the high-speed processors. I need a new laptop with very good specification to continue with my animation thing. Meanwhile this movie Pulp, stuck in my mind so hard that i was not able to get over with that. Then i thought of a solution for this problem. I planned a script which somewhat resembles that of Pulp, and wanted to pour the same humor into my script with who ever available actors i have including myself.


I framed and designed a perfect storyline which is kind of a Crime Drama with a comical touch.Though its not a pure comedy, it will be kind of a Crime-Comedy, in which fun is actually driven by the situations. This script will be my second Shortfilm and almost the same crew will be working with me this time. Since we named our Banner as THIRTY_BUCKS productions, and i didnt gave a thought towards the title of this film, Iam calling it as Thirty Bucks production No.2.

Toon Boom Studio 5

Film making has been my dream since i realized my inner potential. I made a short film with a run-time of around 30 mins and then my thoughts are towards what next. Since i have not dedicated myself completely towards Film-making, planning something for next will be a huge task not in planning but executing it. I can write a script and screenplay for a short film but in converting it into an exact film would be a tremendous task for me in co-ordinating the timings of the actors and other crew, including myself to get onto the floors. 

But since i mostly keep thinking of film-making. I have come up with an brilliant idea( i think it to be) of making an Animation Flick. An animation flick is no less than a movie as far as iam concerned since all the efforts we need to make a regular movie are same in animation flick except for the reason Actors dont act in animation but we have to develop animated characters and add similar expressions and gestures to be performed by those characters just as Actors do.

Now for this i dont need Actors. I dont need Cinematographer. I dont need to adjust schedules and timings. But still i can put my thoughts into a movie while still being involved in my other routine work. All i need is Toon Boom Studio 5.

This is a Animation software, though its basic it can give me enough kick start for Animation film-making. Iam trying to learn animation myself sitting at home and iam pretty confident that i would come up with something extra-ordinary as a layman.

The Long Dream under Water D-10 (01/26/2011)

I was in a pond in the shape of a rectangle and depth of around 7-8 feet. There were many other friends with me in the pond. We were going under the water and trying to look up to the banks of the pond through he crystal clear water. Every now and then my dream was cutting to a Ride in car with me and some other folks. Even the ride was thrilling as if we are on a roller coaster. But most of the dream i was in a pond with some issue going on with a Ring which sank in the pond but simultneously being visible on the banks and at the bed of the pond. We were swimming into the water and coming out. Discussing some serious issues. Mostly what i rememeber is looking up to the bank from under water. Nice Dream !!!

Painless Wound D-9 (01/24/2011)

I was in a room where me and friends sleep at night. It was day time though i was seeing my friend Bharat sleeping at a corner of the room just beside the door. Then i went out to see him having food in the kitchen and i think even i had food. I remember i was delicious. After a while quite few characters i met in my life went here and there in front of me and out of no where someone shot me with a pistol in my stomach. I kneeled to the floor and there was not much blood but bullet pierced into my stomach. But i was not feeling any pain at this time. I doubted that bullet had not gone deep enough and hence i was not feeling any pain.

But after a while i was really worried since, now i started realizing that iam gonna die but still i dont have any pain. I was so much worried that i informed my dad about the bullet in my stomach. I think i called him up or someone passed on the message to him. He didnt take it seriously since he didnt believe that it was true. I had no other chance now to either save my self or giveup by dying. But i was not dying too. I was roaming here and there like a fool in search of knowing what to do now.

Then it was too difficult for me to control the stress upon me that iam gonna die. So i asked some one to shoot me so that i can die in a single shot than dying sometime later by udergoing the trauma of tension. Then i dont know who it was but someone shot me right in between my backside of my neck as he didnt wanted to shoot me from frontside. Even now i didnt feel any pain and i was checking whether the bullet really pierced into me. I passed my fingers over the wound the bullet created on my neck and found blood spilling out in very little quantity. Still i dont have any pain and i was not dying. I think now i asked one more person to shoot me and he did too. Even then no pain. When all this happend and i was not feeling any pain someone came to me and told me that i can still live if medicated. Now i was happy at the same time worried since now i was hurt by three bullet and my chances of dying have increased by three. I was almost like breaking up into tears since i have taken this decision in a hurry and got hurt by two extra bullets. While i was crying i realised that I was still having no pain.

This point in my dream is one of the most revolutionized part throughout my dreaming world since i detected that i was in a dream and also logically. That was becoz i was shot by three bullets though i was not feeling any pain. I can see the wound but no pain. WHY?

The answer to this big why is that i have seen and know how a bullet wound would probably look hence i would see the wound on my body. But i have never in my life have experienced the pain a bullet can on my body. Since i never knew that pain i.e how the pain would be, i didnt experienced the pain at all throughout my dream. This is one of the dream that i will never forget for the realism embedded in it.

LOVE BATTERY 2 HOURS

"Love Battery 2 Hours" is the second script which i wrote after OUATIF. It deals with a small unbelievable funny story of a guy who has 2 hours of battery time everyday, wanting to fall in love with a perfect girl for him, in order to accomplish 24 hrs battery for his life, with a sweet twist in the end.

This subject may not be my next Shortfilm which i direct. But eventually will fall into my story collection.

Start Action to Final Cut

After we have started shooting, on Dec 9th, many new problems started arising in the form of Actors dates-timings, weather and time etc. I had to totally concentrate on the project inorder to not to loose the grip since its my first project. I was totally focussed and i didnt even pick my calls during the shooting days. Suresh was the cinematographer for this project and his commitment to the project will be proved in th final output. We had to re-arrange the schedule every day and nothing went as planned but i was just seeing the completion meter in my mind since i just wanted the film to be wrapped and not neccesarily in orderly fashion.

We didnt eat properly didnt answer calls, didnt even booze properly coz we friends are very much into it. 3 days almost 16 hrs of shoot each day. that is how the shoting went. Finally the day came were i got to take my flight and reach my place. I was very much worried when i woke up that day as we were left over with some thing around 25% of the shooting. it was  Sunday and i had to take flight in the evening. I was pissed and we didnt shoot that day till noon as i was bit pissed off as i was not able to finish off the project.But at noon i got a call from the airlines saying that the flight has been delayed from sunday to tuesday since Minneapolis was hit by worst snow storm. I was jumping in happiness. then i called the crew and finished some important scenes that day and rest of the scenes on Monday and got my Flight on Tuesday and came back as a happy man.

After shooting i have been editing the videos which we shot on my old weak processor laptop. Actually we needed a much better and powerfull processor for editing but i wanted to give it a shot since we had no budget for our film. Till date we are done with 95% Final Cut and within few days we are approaching our Music Director Mr. Shivaram Pasham for his Original BGM.

Bound Script to Start Action

After finalizing the script, i had conversations with multiple of friends in gathering enough information to justify my script. I did some elementary research in gathering information about which camera to use, what all equipment we need, and by when. After lot of yes and no's, acceptance's and rejection's we have decided the start of our schedule. December 8th, 2010 was the start of our schedule and i had fly to Fairfax, VA from Minneapolis, MN for thr project.

This was the tough phase for me becoz i was very much excited in directing this script since i moulded each and scene in my mind before i wrote it. So waiting was so paifull. Finally when i landed in Fairfax on Dec 8th at 11.45 pm. We immediatly went to the location and quickly discussed few scenes and costumes and the Shot design. Decemeber 9th 1.00am was the time when i first said Start Action. And the shooting went on for 3-4 days Non-stop in rain, cold, day and night.

From a COMMENT to a SCRIPT

I really wonder sometimes how things take shape. Here is an example of one such thing. One day my friend Suresh has commented on one of my pic in facebook saying "Once Upon A Time In Fairfax". This one line was so common line for any one who is reading this but it si mply blew my mind since i have never given a thought towards such a comment or rather a Caption. The reason for my friend to comment was that i was resembling Ajay Devgan in that pic not becoz of features but i had a typcal moustache of Ajay Devgan in Once upon a Time In Mumbai.

Now, this simple comment, which had a serious impact on me started taking its shape, in my Mind. Due my deep affection towards film making i was already i a thought of making a Short Film with Inception Spoof in my mind becoz no other concept struck my mind. Then after Suresh's title, i started developing a different story in my mind for me to direct it as a shortfilm. The story which i imagined intially was very simple and straight forward. And the reason for the story was as a Two year resident of Fairfax, i have seen many incidents around me and we had a lots of fun too. So for that affection somehow this comment got asociated with it creating some really good story inside my mind. I immediatly conveyed my houghts to everyone whom i wanted to involve. Initially they story went forward as a fast cut action comedy (Ref. Crank). Then it became a pure comedy involving most of my friends to act in it. But once i saw Raktha Charitra, it became damn serious subject and the thought of involving everyone was still sticking onto it.

Then i discussed with my friends the story the screenplay and also conceived each scene in my mind. So finally after one month of a serious thought and affection, the single lined comment turned out into a Perfect Script, titled Once Upon a Time in Fairfax.

Typical Mafia D-8 (01/03/2011)

We were in a kind off market where people were selling vegetables and other products for whole sale. It was an enclosed market with very few lights here and there. It was me Srik P and few other friends whoz faces i dont remember. Then there this curfew kind off thing so no body was allowed on the roads to roam. We were hearing to some good music with a DJ equipment in the vegetable market. We were actually trying to Rob Some very Expensive items from the market mostly Money. So inorder to Rob we have created this atmosphere of we group settling down in the market so that no one will think that we will leave the place. To create that environment we have bought some chilli's and other vegetables in huge bags and Dropped them on the floor and started spreading the items. As if we are selling them. Then after sometime we planned everything and the Money or item was robbed succcesfully. We were trying to leave but the doors were not open since it was curfew outside as some mafia groups have been killing each other. Then we came to know that even we are part of the mafia group.

Friendly Fight was Dangerous D-7

I was in a room and some one was threatening me off beating my ass up badly. I was shouting in the darkness against them also challenging them. There was an fat female who has sent one man with wey huge body into the room o kick my ass. I was very much worried of how to confront him. Then the bad guy kicked me, punched me, and he really beat my ass up really badly. i somehow escaped from him and got into a Van but he still followed me and even he got into the van. Now he was driving the van and htting very hard with his elbow. i tried to open the van's door and escape but was not possible. I was very much worried and shouting in pain. Then i ame to know that the man hitting me was actualy my firend Osorio and i tried to remember him that iam his friend. he was puzzled and crashed the van on the highway into the side rail. I got down the van and was running on the highway to escape. Then i saw two helicopters circling me and two to three cop cars behind the van fro which i got out. Cops were shouting at me to come back and not to go front. Then i thought it was safe now and went back o the van. Caops started interrogating me and osorio was stting on a chair with his hands cuffed. I told the cops how Osorio kicked my ass and he was just sorry about it and took it in a very lite manner.

Adventurous Pilgrimage D-6

I was travelling with some my relatives on a river in a small boat. River was calm and dark just like a canal. I was rowing the boat as i was sitting at the tip of the boat. Then after sometime i passed the rowing chance to another elderly female relative of mine and moved back. As i was relaxing we were almost heading towards our destination and we were seeing beautiful reservoir/lake to side of the river with fountains in the middle and old colorfull contructions surrounding it giving it a touch of Kasi. Then all of the sudden we took a turn and now we were rowing through the corridors of some old construction. When we took turn another boat which was also carrying some other relatives rowed straight towards the reseroir. And suddenly our baot was now a bus and we were seeing deep valley with a busy crowded city at the end of the valley. The path which lead to the end of the valey also had few houses besides the path. It was so inclined that our bus has to travel almost vertically down the hill to reach the base. While we were going down we found a huge old construction resembling Mini Tajmahal of Aurangabad. Some of my relatives were discussing about the contruction and i was worried about the other boat which rowed straight since we are traveling downhill the river on which other boat tavelled should end with a waterfall hence they would be in great danger. But as our bus was rushing through the rocky path towards the basement all my thoughts flew away and now i was worried about our landing. Then the bus landed at the base onto a road with a sharp break by the driver and we continued on the road journey.
