An oath for heroes, villains and ghosts in Bollywood

Oath for heroes and heroines

1. I swear that I will never ever be skeptical about love because I know in the end I will have to believe in love
2. I will never ever show enemity towards hero/ heroine in the beginning as I know finally I will have to fall in love with him/ her
3. I will always look out for exact opposites of my character as they would finally end up as my romantic partner
4. If l look nerdy, I am going to immediately get a haircut and remove my glasses as these would invariably turn me into extremely smart and handsome
5. I am not going to have another boyfriend/girl friend other than the hero/heroine, as they have this tendency to turn out into assholes/imbeciles/villains in the end
6. If I have extra-ordinary fighting abilities, I will not show reluctance to exhibit my abilities, as anyways finally villain will force me to fight
7. I will not waste my time fighting evil business men and corrupt politicians initially through lawful means as I would any way be killing them off in the end without any regard for law

Oath for villains

8. I will not kill irrelevant characters for some minor reasons, just to demonstrate to the audience that I am really evil
9. If by any chance I capture the hero, I would end him immediately with a bullet without lengthy dialogues or elaborate slow killing schemes

Tangle

I have no excuses to make. I don’t want to say I’m busy that’s why I am not blogging. Every one is busy. Every one has personal issues to take care of. Every one has left over work brought back home. I knew all this road blocks would happen when I started this blog. And I wouldn’t have started this blog if I didn’t feel I could overcome them to keep up with my (self imposed) creative commitments.

So again, no excuses. The disturbing part is that for the last 2 weeks, writing has also hit rock bottom except for some outlining for a short film which I did over phone with the cowriter of the thriller script. Well, now that I have started blogging again, you know I am back in business.

My most pressing work is something related to that short film script I have to do. Hopefully I would do it today thanks to the holiday. After that I have to complete the outlining of my drama-’River bends.’ By the time I start writing it, I also want to start fixing the structure for the second draft of my heist script.
