Let me connect

Every personality has their weak and strong phases, I have never come across someone who was made of complete steel (apart from Superman of-course!!). On contrary, I've seen a lot of people faking it, portraying something they aren't may be due to popular mantra "fake it till you make it". There is nothing wrong in that as long as if you are doing it for a good reason and not to showoff, like a job interview - where 80% people fake something or rather (that's what statistics say).

Indeed it is quite natural instinct to put out your best, isn't it? I mean almost every one wears a Shield or Armour or a strong-suit at times it is needed to hide your vulnerabilities. But there are times when we should put our guards down and allow our own personality to reveal.

It is totally up to you to choose who that person in your life is? with who you could be just yourself, with whom you don't have to wear that Armour anymore and with whom we can reveal your true self.

This is what I call "having a connection". This is when your heart and soul gets the opportunity to touch others, this is when you form a bond. I wish everyone finds that person.

To some lucky ones, connections  are made in a heartbeat and for some of us it takes a lifetime. Some of us enjoy it for their whole lifetime and some of us wait for it for a lifetime. This is what happens to our protagonist in my latest romance drama feature "Bhindeshi Tara - A foreign star in the sky ". Saikat Majumdar (the lead character) who is a press photo journalist falls in love with a girl of Armenian decent during a time of political turmoil in Calcutta.

Saikat spends a lifetime waiting for someone he loved, it only took a heartbeat for that connection which lasted a lifetime. This was the magical dance during a gala night (shown in picture above) when Saikat holds his would be lovers hand and gets engrossed in her beautiful blue eyes.

I will reveal a more about Saikat and his charming lady love (name to be revealed in my next blog), until then please enjoy your time with your loved ones and do take a moment to connect and say "I Love You".

Emotional Baggage!

Emotional Baggage!

As you all know we have hit Pre-production with my latest feature film Bhindeshi Tara, I wanted to share one of our character's journey and relate it to my personal experience.

But before that can I ask you a questions?

How do you manage your emotional well-being?

Some of you might say: work out, sports, socialising, yoga, meditation etc. but I wanted to bring your focus to one thing, how we manage our emotional well-being carries immense importance in our life.

Sometimes we forget to realise we are all but emotions and feelings. That's what makes us human! That's what sets us apart from rest of the species! i.e. the ability to understand and manage our own emotions.

Yesterday, I had a tough discussion with a friend's Dad, not because I wanted to belittle him but I wanted to let off some emotional baggage off my chest. I wanted to keep my relationship healthy and firm with my friend and his family.

Sometimes we let things creep in between our relationships that does not resonates with our own personalities. Just because we start governing ourselves by some "unsaid rules", what we forget to realise about life is that it constantly changes. We also need to adjust and update our own set of rules based on what we are going through. Based upon how life is shaping us and others around us, after-all well-being is all about being up to date and flexible. On contrary, emotional baggage is all about being stubborn and making us and our relationships fragile.

This is what exactly happens with Mr. Tarafdar, our protagonist Saikat Tarafdar's Dad, a father who was willing to spoil his son's life but not change his rules around how someone (his son's girlfriend) should be? He ironically keeps imposing his own rules on people around him, that not only breaks his son's heart but also makes him suffer for rest of his life!

Hope you would choose to be more flexible in life after seeing our film. Kindly help us complete our crowd funding target by clicking here: Bhindeshi Tara Development Fund.

Until my next blog... Farewell!
