From Practice to Power — The Hidden Strength of Blogging
“Sometimes I think of blogging as finger exercises for a violinist. Sometimes I think of it as mulching a garden. It is incredibly useful and helpful to my ‘real’ writing.”
— Kate Christensen
Blogging is often where writers sharpen their swords.
For many male bloggers, it becomes a training ground — a
space to test arguments, refine ideas, build clarity, and strengthen
intellectual muscle.
Post by post, they build authority. Paragraph by
paragraph, they build discipline. It is practice — yes — but powerful practice.
And then there are women who blog.
For female bloggers, blogging is not just practice. It is
expression. It is reclamation.
It is carving space in a noisy world and saying,
My voice matters too.
Where men may use blogging to sharpen thought, women often
use it to shape identity — navigating career, relationships, creativity,
healing, ambition, and reinvention.
A blog becomes both mirror and window... reflecting who they are, and revealing who they are becoming.
And for women who read blogs, something even more beautiful
happens...
They find resonance.
One honest post about self-doubt can feel like
companionship. One vulnerable story can dissolve isolation. One courageous opinion can ignite confidence.
Blogging, then, is not “small writing.”
It is soil work.
It
is mulching experience into wisdom.
It is practicing scales before playing
life’s symphony out loud.
What begins as a simple post can grow into presence.
What begins as rehearsal can become revolution.

సినిమా అంటే జస్ట్ షూటింగ్ మాత్రమేనా?!
ఎవరికోసమో కాదు. మనకోసం.
ఒక వాట్సాప్ హాయ్ ఉండదు.
ఒక కాల్ ఉండదు.
"ఓస్ ఇంతేనా?!" అనుకుంటారు.
ఏ డైరెక్టర్ అయినా తన టీమ్ కోసం, సినిమాను సీరియస్గా తీసుకొనే ఆ 5% కోసమే ప్రయత్నిస్తాడు. కాని అదంత ఈజీ కాదు.
కాని, ఈసారి సీన్ రిపీట్ కావడం నాకిష్టం లేదు.

Even a Long Life is a Short Ride
We plan as if we have endless tomorrows.
We postpone as if time is waiting patiently for us. But life moves quietly — and faster than we realize.
That script you want to write.
That call you want to make.
That apology.
That risk.
That new beginning.
Small or big... Creative or personal.
Don’t postpone it.
In cinema, the difference between a dreamer and a director is action. The same applies to life.
Ideas are common. Intentions are common. Execution is rare.
You don’t need perfect timing.
You need decision.
Because one day, “later” becomes “too late.”
Start messy. Start unsure. But start. Just start.
What is one thing you’ve been postponing? Do it today — and tell me what it is.

హైద్రాబాద్లో "తెలుగు బ్లాగర్స్ మీట్" మళ్ళీ ఎప్పుడో?
"లేఖిని" వీవెన్ గారు అనుకుంటాను... ఆ మధ్య నన్ను బ్లాగర్స్ మీట్కు పిలిచారు. వెళ్ళాలని అనుకున్నాను. చివరి నిమిషంలో అనుకోని పని తగలటం వల్ల మీట్కి వెళ్ళలేకపోయాను.
బహుశా మొన్న డిసెంబర్ రెండో ఆదివారం, "తెలుగు బ్లాగుల దినోత్సవం" నాడు మళ్ళీ కలిసే వుంటారు.

Be Love, Not Just In Love
“It’s not a question of being in love with someone. It’s a question of being love.”
— Osho
Valentine’s Day is not just about finding the right person. It is about becoming the right presence.
Being in love is beautiful.
But being love is powerful.
When you are love — in your thoughts, in your words, in your
silence — every relationship becomes sacred. Not because of who stands beside
you, but because of what flows from within you.
This Valentine’s Day, don’t just celebrate a person. Celebrate the love you are capable of being.
Tell me — are you looking for love, or are you becoming it?

సక్సెస్, మనీ ఉన్నచోటే గుర్తింపు ఉంటుంది, విలువ ఉంటుంది.

Comfort Is Killing You
Comfort soothes—but it also limits. Obsession, ambition, and reinvention demand friction.

"Religion is a man made thing" అన్న మాటను నేను బాగా నమ్ముతాను. దేవుడు అన్న కాన్సెప్ట్ అందులో భాగమే.
Logic doesn’t always belong to spirituality.
Nor to cinema.
Some things are meant to be felt.

Ayn Rand: From Hollywood Scripts to the Philosophy of the Self
Ayn Rand is often remembered as the fierce philosopher of Objectivism, but before The Fountainhead shook the literary world in 1943, she was already shaping stories in a different arena—cinema and theatre.
She worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood and even had a play produced on
Broadway in 1935–36.
Storytelling was not a detour for Rand. It was her
laboratory.
Objectivism—her philosophy of reason, individualism, and
creative self-interest—fits cinema like a glove. Films are born from a
singular vision fighting odds: producers, markets, trends, fear. Rand believed
that the creator must not dilute their truth to please the crowd. In that
sense, every filmmaker faces the same choice her heroes did… compromise or
conviction.
For artists in films, Rand’s life sends a powerful message.
Cinema is not just entertainment. It is a moral statement. A director, writer,
or actor who owns their voice, takes responsibility for their choices, and
refuses to apologize for ambition is already practicing Objectivism—whether
they name it or not.
On her 121st birthday (2nd Feb), Ayn Rand reminds us of this simple,
uncomfortable truth... Great films, like great lives, are made by individuals who dare to stand
alone.

క్రియేటివిటీపై రాజకీయాల కబ్జా!
ఆ అవార్డు పేరే నాకు నచ్చ లేదు. అతను సినిమాలకు చేసిన సేవ కూడా ఏం లేదు. ఇంక చాలావుంది చెప్పాలంటే కాని, వద్దు.
బై మిస్టేక్, మళ్ళీ ఏదైనా అవార్డు గివార్డు తీసుకోవాలనుకుంటే ఫిలింఫేర్, సైమా, ఐఫా లాంటి వాటికోసం పోటీపడతా.
Why Playing Safe Kills Cinema
“I want to risk hitting my head on the ceiling of my talent. I want to really test it out and say, ‘Okay, you’re not that good. You just reached the level here.’ I don’t ever want to fail, but I want to risk failure every time out of the gate.”
— Quentin Tarantino
This quote cuts straight to the heart of cinema — and to the
soul of every serious filmmaker.
Most people never discover the ceiling of their talent. Not
because they lack ability, but because they never jump high enough to hit it.
They stay in the safe zone, repeating what works, choosing comfort over
curiosity. Cinema, however, doesn’t grow in safe spaces. It grows where ego is
bruised, where experiments fail, and where courage is tested.
Tarantino’s mindset reminds us that real artists don’t fear
limits — they chase them. They want to know how far they can go, even if
the answer hurts. Especially if it hurts. Because that pain reveals truth. And
truth is the raw material of powerful cinema.
For a film director, risking failure is not optional — it’s
a professional requirement. Every ambitious script, every unconventional shot,
every bold casting choice is a gamble. Some will fall flat. Some will confuse.
Some will be rejected. But each attempt stretches the filmmaker’s capacity.
That’s how voice is discovered. That’s how originality is born.
Cinema doesn’t reward perfection. It rewards those who dare to find their edges.
So aim high enough to hit your limits. Let failure teach you
where your real strength lies. Each risk sharpens your instinct, deepens your
craft, and brings you closer to your most authentic work.
In the long run, the
only real failure is never testing your talent at all.
If you’re a writer or filmmaker, take one creative risk this week — something
that scares you a little. Drop a comment saying “I’m risking it” and let’s move forward together.

The Best Way to Stay Poor is — Start Tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the most dangerous word in a filmmaker’s life.
It feels harmless, even responsible. But in reality, it quietly kills scripts,
delays shoots, postpones learning, and turns dreams into excuses.
In the cine field, talent is everywhere. What’s rare is
action today.
Many writers keep “polishing” scripts forever. Many directors wait for the perfect producer, perfect budget, or perfect
timing. Meanwhile, someone less talented but more decisive starts now — and moves
ahead.
For a film director especially, tomorrow is expensive.
Every delayed film, every postponed pitch, every unrealized experiment is
lost experience.
Cinema doesn’t reward intention. It rewards execution.
The
industry respects people who are already in motion, not those who are “planning
to start.”
Starting today may mean a small film, a rough cut, a
low-budget attempt, or even a failed project. But that failure pays dividends —
skills sharpen, networks grow, confidence builds. That’s how directors move
from survival to sustainability, and from sustainability to success.
So remember...
You don’t stay poor because you lack money.
You stay poor because you keep saying “I’ll start tomorrow.”
If you’re a writer or filmmaker, start something today — write one scene, shoot
one frame, make one call.
Comment “START NOW” if you’re done waiting for tomorrow.

గుమ్మడికాయ అందరూ కొట్టలేరు!
సినిమా షూటింగ్ ప్రారంభించిన రోజు పూజ చేసి కొబ్బరికాయలు కొడతారు. షూటింగ్ పూర్తయిన రోజు గుమ్మడికాయ కొడతారు. ఫిలిం ఇండస్ట్రీలో ఇదొక సాంప్రదాయం. ఎప్పటినుంచో ఉంది.
అప్పటివరకూ కలిసిపనిచేసి, "ఇంక రేపటి నుంచి షూటింగ్ ఉండదు, కలవము" అనుకున్నప్పుడు నిజంగానే ఎవరికైనా ఎమోషనల్గా ఉంటుంది.
"అలా" సినిమా గుమ్మడికాయ కొట్టినరోజున మా హీరోయిన్ విదిశ శ్రీవాస్తవ, వాళ్ళ నాన్న (ఆర్మీ ఆఫీసర్) కూడా దాదాపు ఏడ్చేశారు.

What is Your Productive Purpose in Cinema?
“The man without a purpose is a man who drifts at the mercy of random feelings or unidentified urges… In order to be in control of your life, you have to have a purpose—a productive purpose.”
— Ayn Rand, Playboy Interview
In cinema, purpose is everything. A film career without a
clear purpose drifts—from trend to trend, from one borrowed voice to another.
When a filmmaker doesn’t know why they are making films, decisions get
ruled by fear, envy, or validation. The result is noise, not cinema.
A productive purpose gives a director control. It
sharpens choices—what stories to tell, what projects to refuse, how to lead a
team, and how to survive failure without losing direction. Purpose turns chaos
into craft. It keeps ego in check and channels ambition into creation, not
destruction.
History proves this again and again… filmmakers with
purpose build bodies of work. And those without it burn bridges. In an industry
full of temptations and shortcuts, purpose is the only compass that doesn’t
fail. It doesn’t guarantee success—but without it, nothing meaningful lasts.
What is your productive purpose in cinema—and does your daily work
reflect it?

Focus Is the Real Currency of Life
“If we turn just ten percent of the attention we waste on others back toward ourselves, that alone is enough. Time stops slipping away. We grow stronger—financially, emotionally. And life… life starts flowing cool.”
Miss you Sadiq Bhai !!
Life doesn’t collapse because we lack talent. It collapses because our focus leaks—into opinions, comparisons, noise, egos, hidden intentions, and enigmatic people.
When reciprocity is missing, in the smallest moments or in everything, there’s no meaning in forcing it—or waiting years and decades hoping it will arrive.
Cut to -
Ten percent focus on self is not selfishness.
It’s survival. It’s discipline. It’s self-respect.
When focus returns home, time stops bleeding. Money finds structure. Emotions find balance. And life—once chaotic—begins to move with rhythm, like a well-edited film.
No drama. No rush.
Just clarity. And a cool, steady flow.
And... Love is in the air.
What’s one area of your life where you’ll reclaim that 10% focus
starting today?
Comment below—let’s talk.

From Film to War to Miracle
Making a film is easy today.
Technology is accessible, tools are everywhere, and barriers are lower than ever. Anyone can say "Action!" and call it a film.
But making a good film is a war.
A war against time, budgets, egos, compromises, and self-doubt. Every decision
costs something. Every day tests your patience, leadership, and belief in the
story.
And then there are very good films.
Those are miracles. They happen when preparation meets courage, when the team
aligns, when instinct beats fear—and when honesty survives every compromise.
Miracles can’t be planned, but they can be earned.
That’s why cinema is not a hobby. It’s a lifelong battle—with the rare reward of magic.
Which stage are you in right now—film, war, or miracle?

Success Belongs to Those Who Can Sit with Uncertainty
The most successful people in the world share one invisible trait... a high tolerance for uncertainty.
They move forward without guarantees, without clear outcomes, and often without applause. This truth applies even more strongly to creative people—especially those working in the cinema field.
For a film director, uncertainty is not a phase... it’s the
environment.
From writing to casting, from production to release, nothing is
ever fully under control. Scripts change, budgets shift, audiences surprise
you. Directors who constantly seek safety, validation, or perfect clarity
rarely last long.
What separates working directors from dreamers is the
ability to stay calm in the unknown. To take decisions without complete
information. To trust instinct when data is missing.
Cinema doesn’t reward
those who wait for certainty—it rewards those who act despite it.
Every meaningful film is born in doubt and completed through
courage. If you can tolerate uncertainty, you can tolerate the journey. And if
you can tolerate the journey, success eventually follows.
How comfortable are you with uncertainty—does it scare you, or does it
sharpen you?

Resolve It. Then Execute.
“I want to do it.”
“I am going to do it.”
Both sound good. Both feel safe.
But “I resolved to do it” is different.
That sentence carries guts. It means the decision is already made. In your
mind, it’s no longer the future—it’s the past.
Once something is resolved, there’s no debate left. No
overthinking. No emotional bargaining.
Action becomes inevitable.
Every real achievement—personal or professional—starts
right here. Not with motivation. Not with planning.
But with a gutsy resolve that says: this is happening, no matter
what.
That inner decision is the real beginning.
Everything else is just execution.

Authority, Ambition, and the Truth About Hindi Cinema
There’s a popular narrative doing the rounds—that Hindi cinema has become purely money-oriented, lacking authority in filmmaking. Veteran actor Prakash Raj recently echoed this sentiment. While the concern comes from a place of love for cinema, it paints an incomplete picture of what’s really happening on the ground.
Commerce and content are not enemies—when aligned, they elevate each other.
To dismiss Hindi cinema as only money-driven is to ignore the filmmakers who are shaking the system with scale and soul.
Authority filmmaking hasn’t vanished—it has simply learned to speak the language of today’s audience.
Not Everyone Has the Same 24 Hours
During his lifetime, legendary filmmaker "Darshakaratna" Dasari Narayana Rao garu—a Guinness World Record holder—directed 151 films.
Why Paulo Coelho’s Writing Mechanism Speaks to Me
I like Paulo Coelho not just for what he writes, but how he writes.
His stories don’t try to impress the intellect. They quietly walk straight into the soul. In a world obsessed with complexity, Coelho dares to be simple—and that itself is a radical act.
One of the biggest reasons I admire him is his writing
mechanism. He writes first in his native language, Portuguese, where his
emotions are rooted. Only later does the work travel into English and other
languages through careful translation.
This tells me one important truth...
Universality
is born from authenticity, not from language choice.
Coelho’s prose feels effortless, but it’s deeply
intentional. He strips language down to its essence, almost like a spiritual
parable. There is no ornamental writing, no intellectual showmanship—only
clarity, symbols, and timeless human questions.
That simplicity makes his work
translatable, adaptable, and eternal.
Another aspect that draws me to him is his trust in
intuition. He observes life, reflects deeply, and writes in focused bursts. He
believes that if a story is honest, it doesn’t need excessive explanation. The
reader will meet the writer halfway.
Most importantly, Coelho writes for meaning, not
approval. That courage—to stay rooted in one’s inner truth while speaking to
the whole world—is what I aspire to as a storyteller.
Coelho mechanism reminds me
that stories don’t become global by sounding global... They become global by
feeling human.

Minimalism in the Age of Social Media

When Big Budgets Became the Biggest Risk

They demand less, risk less, and experiment more. Strong ideas, honest emotions, and rooted storytelling suddenly matter more than spectacle.
