In the Making!!


At one point I never thought it would be possible to come this far with the kind of cold, fog and heavy rains that welcomed us on the first day of shoot at Kotdwar ... Today, as we are on the verge of completing the movie, it gives me a feeling of contentment and pride. Just in the next couple of days I would be a part of the Shafa history, not only as a recovering addict but as a core member of the production of the movie and as a part of the new generation that is taking Shafa to the next level of media and world wide social networking. “NEVER GIVE UP” or “I CAN’T, WE CAN” is the question about the title of the movie. Our last movie was titled “IT IS ALL ABOUT CHANGE”……. What could it be this time?????????  

“NEVER EVER GIVE UP!!!” On October 29, 1941, U.K. Prime Minister, Winston Churchill visited Harrow School to hear the traditional songs he had sung there as a youth, as well as to speak to the students. When he was invited to give a speech, Churchill stood before the students and said, “Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, give up. Never give up. Never give up. Never give up." Maybe our film name can be 'Never give up' said Kishore Ji, the director of the movie.  

Ranjan Ji was neutral to both the names saying "I CAN’T WE CAN” does not say “YOU CAN’T AND WE CAN”. It only means that as an individual, he can't but as a group we can. Also the movie opens with the residents saying “I CAN’T, WE CAN”.
  
I don’t know, but YOU HAVE A DECISION HERE TOO.

Let me take your leave on this note as there are too many things on my mind. What would be the poster?? What would be the title?? Where would it be placed?? Who all to give credits to?? What all to edit??

Let Go, Let God


What does “being in control" mean??  Is it constantly trying to change the environment around you?? Is it making sure that the change happens?? Am I in control when I am sleeping?? Am I in control while dreaming?? Am I in control of that tear coming to my eyes or that smile coming to my lips?? Does love or hatred take my permission before overpowering my heart?? So what is it that I am in control of??

And then even after thinking that I am in control of everything, what am I restless about? What am I anxious about? Why does everyday make me more and more stressful??

The only answer to all these questions is ‘Let go, Let God’. It is when you let go of the sense of control that you truly relax. The mere mention of “letting go” gives you a plethora of options to explore. Once you let go off the word “ME” is the time when you see everything apart from me. It is then that you broaden the horizons of your vision.

It is only when you “let go” of the sense of control that you are truly "in control”. And when you do this you experience true bliss and let go of things and let God do it for you.
