My First Short Film, HOORAY!!
Watch my first short film, SHE TEXTED.
Written and Directed by me, this short film should leave a mark!! Don’t worry, it shouldn’t leave you black and blue.
Shot on a stubborn Iphone 6, but definitely not more stubborn than me!
It’s time to WATCH a story instead of READ one.
Love isn’t Indifferent, We Are
LOVE is a word you can either love or hate. It’s really not a word that most people harbor neutral feelings for.
This word exerts such great power that it can create vivid images in the minds and hearts of many sailing upon the vast ocean of love. Some may imagine love as a garden of fragrant flowers, or a pair of sparrows chirping upon a leafy branch, or maybe even a shooting star darting across the night sky.
Where the above images reflect affection and harmony, there are some NOT SO pretty pictures in the minds of those who have suffered at the hands of a demon called love.
Kick the ‘I’ out of Ideal and just Deal with Life
An Ideal life…An Ideal partner…An Ideal child…An Ideal job…
All of us have grown up in a Real world with Real people and Real emotions.
Yet how many of us have been fed Ideal stories, shown Ideal scenarios, and pushed to follow an Ideal path?
Many! MANY! MAAANNYY!!
Ideal is really an ideal word in itself.
Perfect, supreme, flawless, these words don’t even match up to the class and respect that their synonymous cousin ‘Ideal’ radiates. Ideal has been the center stage attraction of all worldly drama since the beginning of time and its tick-tock ways.
When Women Go Quiet…
Some of you might be smirking at the title. Women and QUIET?
Now that’s an OXYMORON!!
No, I’m not calling an ox a moron…I mean oxymoron. It means contradiction; women and quiet…complete opposites of each other…because apparently women can never be quiet…get it?
Never Mind! The joke is already RUINED.
Women, often portrayed as the fairer sex, or the weaker sex, but definitely not the bleaker sex, are intelligent, emotional and highly intuitive beings.
They have been around since the beginning of time, and have been giving men a run for their money.
STOP calling REAL people FAKE!!
Fake this, fake that…
He’s fake, she’s fake, everyone’s fake fake!
How many times have you come across the word FAKE in your daily life?
As time progresses, and lives seem to be getting more complicated, people have acquired a new label or characteristic – FAKE.
According to the Oxford Dictionary, one of the definitions of the word FAKE is –
Claiming to be something that one is not.

Are you one of those people who seem fairly normal and upbeat?
Are you one of those people who work hard, and look forward to some good old relaxation?
Does summer and winter induce mixed responses from your psyche?
Does the heat make you perspire with glee?

But, what about the HOLIDAY SEASON?

5 DEVASTATING Truths that need ME TOO
Who hasn’t heard or read about the Me Too movement?
Me, a word that acts as a reference to oneself, the self that one learns to accept and love, and save from harm’s way since the beginning of one’s life. Too, a word that means also, or in addition to. However, when ‘Me’ and ‘Too’ are combined – Me Too – these two tiny words lose their simple natures to adopt a much greater and horrifying complexity.
VICTIMIZATION!!
Say my NAME like you mean it!!
What is so important about it? Why does so much thought go into keeping the right one? It’s not like only a blessed few have it. We all have one. And it sticks with us till THE END.
Even though we’re not born with it, we definitely die with it. A name is the first thing assigned to us when we enter this world. A label so that we don’t forget who we are, and so that others don’t have to wrack their brains to remember us. Imagine a world where there were no names.
What would we say if we had to call out to someone, or address someone? Keep on Reading!
