I wanna

I wanna live my days like it’s the last day
I wanna let my mind sway
to all possibilities
and impossibilities
I wanna run away…
far far away
I wanna be,
What I can’t be.
I wanna see
what I can’t
what I shan’t ...
I wanna scream
and dream;
and be crazy
and messy.
I wanna be happy,
and be sloppy.
I won’t be told off
nor will I be bothered.
I wanna to be on top of the mountain
And not fall off
I wanna be under the deep sea
And not be drowned.
I wanna be free
I wanna be
what I can never be…....

Attention: Prof. Yunus, please read this…

Not a scholar's job
I read the news on Professor Yunus that if circumstances push him he might join politics (01 Feb, 2007). I, however, don't believe that he should ever be pushed, or forced by anyone, into politics. Prof. Yunus is a scholar, a Nobel laureate, why should he be involved in politics?
Why should he take the dirt? Every political group in this world, check out history if you don't believe me, has both shares of success and failure on different issues. Do you disagree? Of course you don't. So I don't think, after all he had done, this great man should be pushed into anything that might make him controversial in the near future.
Why do you think God has put brain inside the head, well protected, instead of putting it outside? The hand and the legs do the work, the brain instructs. Prof. Yunus is our brain; let others do the work.
It has been proved that there are many capable people in this country to steer us onto the right track. Aren't our present chief advisor and other advisors an example?
I agreed with Prof. Yunus, when he said, "Clean people must take part in the elections even if it takes time to ensure that. Otherwise, the same problem will crop up again. Now we have a chance of a lifetime to cleanse our politics."
And so my point is, there are many honest, clean, efficient people in this country who are interested in politics; they could be convinced to get into politics.
Prof. Yunus could be a permanent adviser to help any elected government. Any government can take advice from him and his board, but why make him take this huge responsibility?
Prof. Yunus, whoever is pressurizing you to take the responsibility of becoming a politician is not being rational. Please think twice about it.

A wanna be Film director

So you get it, this page is all about me, so I am the wanna be film maker.So do I have any chance?
I don't know.But I have a lot of ideas, a vision.I believe that film is a strong
medium through which one can(director,script writer) can pass on idea and belief throughout the world.A film stays...if you have anything recorded it stays forever, the creator dies but work stays on.
I watch movies,I sleep and still watch movies.When I eat I still watch movies.When I am in the loo ..I think about stories that can be made into movies.
I have my own plans.
But I read in an online, freefilmschool.org, that everyone has great ideas, film is different.
But I have the passion...
Inside me.
I will become a film maker, one day...
