Station pe ek coolie se bahar jane ka rasta
pooncha,
Coolie ne kaha "bahar jaake poocho."
Maine khud hi rasta doondh liya,
Bahar jaake taxiwale se pooncha,
"bhai saab Aagre ka kitna loge?"
jawab mila, "bechna nahi hai.."

taxi chorr, maine bus pakar li,
conductor se pooncha, "ji. kya mein cigarette pi sakta hoon?"
wo gurrra kar bola, "hargiz nahi, yaha cigarette pina mana hai."
Maine kaha, "par wo janab to pi rahe hai!"
Phir se gurrrraya, " usne mujhse pooncha nahi hai."

Aagre pahucha, hotel gaya.
Manager se kaha, " mujhe room chahiye, satve manzil pe."
Manager ne kaha, "rahane ke liye ya koodne ke liye?"
Room pahucha, waiter se kaha, "ek paani ka gilas milega."!
Usne jawab diya, " nahi sahab, yaha to saare kanch ke milte hai."
Hotel se nikla dost ke ghar jaane ke liye,
Raste me ek sahab se pooncha, "janab, ye sadak kaha ko jaati
hai?"
Janab hans kar bole, " peechle bees saal se dekh
rahan hoon, yahi padi hai....kahin nahin jaati"

Dost ke ghar pahucha, to mujhe dekhte hi chownk pada
Usne poocha, "kaise aana hua?"
Ab tak to mujhe bhi aadat pad gayi thi,
Maine bhi jawab diya, "Train se.."
Meri aaobhagat karne ke liye dost ne apni biwi se kaha,
"areeee sunti ho... mera dost pehli baar ghar aaya hai,
uuse kuch taja taja khilao.."
sunte hi bhabhiji ne ghar ki sari khidkiya aur darwaje khol diye.
Kaha, "taji hawa kha lijiye."

Dost ne phir se badi pyar se biwi se kaha,
"areeee sunti ho.! ..inhe jara apna chalis saal
purana aachar to dikhana."
Bhabiji ek batli me rakha aachar le aayi,
Maine bhi apnapan dikhate hue bhabiji se kaha,
"bhabhiji, aachar sirf dikhayengi, chakhayengi nahi....?"
Bhabiji ne taak jawab diya,
"yuhi agar sab ko chakhati to aachar chalis saal purana kaise
hota..?"

CINEMA IS MY WORLD!!
The thing about a good movie is that it will always grip you. Right from start till the very end. Be it a comedy epic like Monty Python and the Holy Grail or a 15 minute short film like My Love by Aleksandr Petrov'. It will tell its story, like it is wound up tightly in celluloid. As it unravels, you unravel. That is what cinema is all about. And to do the same in a shorter amount of time is the wonder of Short Films!
Short films are rather challenging. Imagine taking a compelling 400 page story & reading it within 10 minutes. Impossible, isn't it? Well not with film it isn't. All you need is a good cast & a director with a vision & great story telling ability. Time is of the essence & so is the plot. Phew! What a fine line the poor fellow must toe. But if done well, with a good pace & clever editing, the film could be magical, enigmatic even!

Take the show Gateway for instance, just the other day it featured a short movie by one of the participants. Was called 'An Evening O Like Yesterday. The execution was crisp & thus the story that came through was pretty good for an amateur. Am sure the guys there can do much better. But it being their first week & all, guess they do deserve a break. :)

Can't wait for the day when I make my own flick. Working on a couple of short films myself, a few scripts that I'm toying with. Will keep you guys posted on the progress. Till then, why don't you check out Right here. Right now, by Anand Gandhi. A masterpiece which gives short films the true credit of genius they merit.
