[33] Concrete Jungle Never Leaves You
![[33] Concrete Jungle Never Leaves You](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/13147776_10201490153213136_8982026591390408289_o.jpg?w=1024)
Nature has a way of connecting us with our inner selves. The idea of being away from the concrete jungle of cities is immediately followed up by unwinding, loosening up, connecting with our real self. Introspection comes naturally unlike in high rises where tall skyscrapers pose as an inferior substitute for tall trees. The city…

[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…

[18] Diversity in Thought

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…

[14] I have no time.

That’s the biggest excuse we give us, our emotional response to our inability to do a certain task is I have no time. Maintaining this blog every day will take about 30 minutes to think about the topic (If I am going for a detailed post), 20 minutes to write, 5 minutes to edit and…

[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?w=1024)
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.…

[11] Illness and its grip on you
A disease stricken mind can’t function at its fullest potential but if you stay idle you are letting it overpower you. Have you tried hard enough to work your mind in 102 degrees temperature that you are radiating? Illness forms a grip on you when you let it. The best way to at least make…

[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?…

[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,…
Smoke words every day.
