[26] Dreams That Hit You.
![[26] Dreams That Hit You.](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1.png?w=560)
The impact of my body hitting the door was so loud that I made a big roaring sound. I wouldn’t have been able to hit the door this hard in my wakefulness because of my frail skeleton of a body. But my mind was more focussed on something else. The demon that hit me. I…

[25] Inside a Creator’s Mind
![[25] Inside a Creator’s Mind](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/christoph-niemann.jpg?w=1024)
I just finished watching the first episode of a Netflix documentary called “Abstract: The Art of Design” which profiles the illustrator, Christoph Niemann. The way his mind work is scarily similar to how your or mine might work but the art he produces is spellbinding. So what is the difference between him and us? What…

[24] Shapeless Blur
![[24] Shapeless Blur](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/shapeless-blur.jpeg?w=1024)
I try to be a shapeless blur that no one notices Curious about the ways I can hide myself Under the garb of jokes and stretched lips Under the static sound of nothingness that puts me to sleep Behind the curtains of clothes to hide my naked self Behind her strength when she puts her point across…

[23] Moonlight

A picture described by naysayers as a slow and a critically hyped movie. Yes, it features scenes with silence and a character that speaks rarely but what is the criticism more pointed at? The movie creates an atmosphere with its slow burning poison of storytelling with time-jumps that leave an audience to imagine the characters…

As the musical piece titled “Yumeji’s theme” invades the sound space of the visuals of Wong Kar Wai’s “In The Mood For Love” everything slows down as if we are watching a music video inside a movie. The re-appearance of this musical piece (a striking eight times) is a leitmotif to describe the relationship between Chow…

[21] What is a Story?
![[21] What is a Story?](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/adapt2.jpg?w=1024)
Stories are dreaming with our eyes open. It’s the art of convincing people of a certain idea but with a narrative, they can relate to. A writer puts his scrambled thoughts in a structure which may be linear, non-linear. The most vital stories of our ages are the one where the writers have “something to say”.…

![[20] Questions Series: What Gives Me Energy?](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/energy.jpg?w=1024)
The adrenaline in my body starts to pump up all the wiring in my brain when I watch a moment in a movie that just makes me jump out in joy. A good movie is like an instant energizer for me no matter how low on energy I am

In an age of information overload, the technological advances of our generation have given us many perks too. One of them being the option of pausing the video you are watching on your laptop. Rarely has it ever crossed my mind, to pause a TV show or a movie and appreciate what just happened. The…

I arrived at the gate of my new prison (read: college) and scoured the area for familiar faces (read: friendly faces). All I saw was an accumulation unto my conservative outlook of the world. People smoking, hurling abuses, holding hands and what not. It was the opposite of what I was taught to be. The…

[17] Thoughts on “Arrival”

A spoiler-free general review of Denis Villeneuve’s “Arrival” A slow start marked a heart-wrenching ride of the year. I checked the time elapsed and it was 25 minutes, feeling that the director could have cut the scenes faster or remove certain parts. Boy, I was wrong. What he was doing was giving us viewers a slow poison…
