Good Morning Folks,
Well on my first post, I wanted to bring out something to the world, that I have been retaining within me all these years. I don't know what kind of force is behind me, but I have done something, which I will be explaning a few lines (sorry paras) from now.
I always wanted to become a part of the Celluloid as a Director, since my Graduation (1999-2002). I hail from the City of Destiny (Visakhapatnam). Being a middle class idiot carrying the burden of responsibilities which got me tied to the materialistic matters of education, job and the other stuff, I was always a day dreamer. Coming back to movies stuff, and Director Dreams, I am an ardent fan of Ram Gopal Varma. I was so fascinated to this person, that a few years back a friend gifted me a photoframe with a Picture of Ram Gopal Varma on my birthday,and I consider it as the best gift I've received in my life till date. Weird Right??? I know, but I can't help it. Why Ram Gopal Varma? Because he is one who only does what he feels like and never gives a damn to the world. My friends used to say, I unknowingly carry some attitude with me. They knew about my dreams. They have read a couple of my stories and knew, I am fine enough to "Chase My Dreams'. After finishing my MBA at GVP, Vizag (2003-2005), I have joined HSBC into Chargebacks Department. That was my another family. I miss them even today. At breaks, we only had one discussion...RGV, RGV and RGV. We were almost a team of 20 and in the ratio of 2:18, we used to argue. Me and my friend Kiran were for RGV and you know the rest against. People so irritated by my fascination for RGV, started calling me RGV.
I served there for some six months, and then my family astrologer suggested me that March, 2006 is gonna be a turning point of my life. He knowing about my dreams, suggested me to move to Hyderabad, and I never knew that it seriously would happen. I was the only bread winner of my family and my parents were worried about the running of my family. My parents did'nt want me to be another ill luck guy with soiled clothes and stories, accompanying the security guards at major film studios, saluting to every person who comes and goes just to fulfil my dreams. I was so taken, that I put down my papers at HSBC and as the days were passing by, my worries complemented by torture at home started growing in folds.
Just then an organization, came down to vizag looking for employees. One of my friends at HSBC, who was from Hyderabad, showed me an Ad in Hindu about the company. I for frankly, never heard or knew about the company. But I spoke to myself, If this fellow could afford for the complete bottom half of the Hindu Main Edition first page, then he/she could be real big.
It was a Friday, and I lied to my Manager that I was stuck in a traffic jam. We used to have fruit jams at Vizag, but no traffic jams. I called her and told that I will be late by 2 hours and she was fine. I attended the interview and shockingly the entire conversation was mostly on movies. Mr. Peter, the person who would be my futuristing Manager was as usual against RGV and I was fighting for. Surprisingly, I got selected with exactly a 200% salary hike and my joining date (21st, March, 2006) was exactly 3 days after my last day at HSBC (18th, March, 2006). My family's happiness knew no bounds. All were looking at it as a job. But me, my Dreams.
My first step officially was at Hyderabad Central, when my friend received me, and I could smell Cinema all over. Me only knowing Jagadamba and Chitralaya Theaters at Vizag, was bewildered when I have been to "Rang De Basanti" at PVR the same evening, I arrived at Hyderabad. Both the Movie and the Cinema Hall were beyond my expectations. The next day I started to my Office.
Trivia One: I don't know, what can you call it, or how does it happen. The Organization I got selected for was IVYCOMPTECH and is only a wall away from Annapoorna Studios. (To Be Contd...)
Trivia Two: The first story I have written was a sequel to SHIVA. Yeah....SHIVA by RGV.
