[93] Radio That Whispers
![[93] Radio That Whispers](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/img_1307.jpg)
A broken frequency where you hear my thoughts unknowingly A radio that whispers So you listen closely only to this. These words I say they mean nothing until they reach where you stay until you choose to discard or let them be, just mere words that stray or welcome them into your mind to let…

[89] The Morning
![[89] The Morning](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/img_0695.jpg)
Mornings that slow down time, by letting in a light sunlight, are the best mornings. The sweet coolness while you lay enveloped in your blanket struggling to wake. The sudden rush of the light sunlight turning into a harsh one is the call for an end to the slow morning. Until that harshness hits your…

[22] In The Mood For Love

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…

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…

[13] The Balancing Act

One thing I’ve learned directing my second short film is that management of the crew, actors and the DOP is essential for creating life on screen as desired by you. I’ve only looked at directing from a skewed perspective of it being a creative desire to infuse life into 24 frames a second. Never have I…

[12] Suspension of Belief
![[12] Suspension of Belief](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/12.jpeg)
Everything depends on the preparation…. or does it? I am in the process of making a short film and have completed the principal photography and I will soon start the post-production of the same. I wanted to talk about the problems I faced during the shoot and how control is just an illusion in film-making.…

[9] Forgetfulness of Dreams.
![[9] Forgetfulness of Dreams.](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/maxresdefault.jpg)
You wake up from another world, still suffering from the dizziness you were engulfed in. A senseless world it was, weird in nature but some say it tells a lot about your deepest secrets. Dreams. You sleep, ignorant about the world you’re about to get in, yet you will be inside it. A fall, to…

[7] Thread and the needle.
When I was a child, my favourite pastime was playing with toy cars with my grandma. I used to wait for her to finish the work she did throughout the day and sit on the bed, waiting for her to come. The cars were always ready. I put them in order for her to choose…

[6] I don’t know.
How much do you believe your role model? How much do you believe the philosophers that walked on this planet? How much do you believe anyone who says anything? Every word I spew, write, slice, reflect, shoot on this page is a manifestation of the experience of my tiny existence. And our experience is limited?…

[5] Who am I?
![[5] Who am I?](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/who-am-i.jpeg)
I am “….partly truth, partly fiction. A walking contradiction.” It is difficult to know yourself, the real true self. If you shed your skin, underneath you’ll find another layer and then another. How do you climb down to the deepest holes to find one’s true self? First, there is a possibility that you will weep…

[4] Regret.
![[4] Regret.](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/regret.jpg)
You’re on your deathbed staring at the faces that stand beside you but your thoughts meander towards an imagined reality of what it could have been only if I did that. If becomes the starting word of every thought that you take. If only I would have said yes to that girl. If only I would…

[3]Thoughts on thoughts.
…With every passing day, I discover new things about myself, others, about the world. How can we store the sudden bursts of thoughts we have? How do we find a way to recall that same emotion that we felt when we first had thought and with the same intensity? …My resilience was in sync with…

[1] Clarity.
Clarity is what I seek. To listen to my thoughts and know that every word that springs up in my stream of consciousness, it is there for a reason. A normal day in my life looks like an organised mess. Organised because I know that I have to wake up every day, go to college,…
