5 things I do to kill time creatively.


  1. Play with light. Shadows are paint that wont need a brush.
  2. Lie down in the back of a car and watch the world go by in reverse. Convex is concave too. 
  3. Look at your fingerprints and imagine them to be highways. Can you figure the end of the road?
  4. Look at rain drops as though they are para troopers in war. Descending fast and fading into terra firma below.
  5. Look at ants at work. Especially when they walk in a line and then fill dialogues each time they meet each other as though they are talking to one another.
What do you do, to kill time?

2 sounds like so much fun. Will definitely try sometime.

4 is without doubt, something I've done frequently.

And I love convex is concave.

Must learn from you. I cannot kill time creatively. The mind goes to work on all things rubbish.

Patriotism for me was best depicted when SRK (in Swades) looks out of his window seconds before he is to set foot in India. Nothing describes detachment better than the wheels of a plane seconds after take off. This was exactly the opposite - done brilliantly. Meanwhile, AR Rahman used only 5 notes of the shehnai for SRK & the audiences to feel homesick repeatedly in the film. Even those who were in India felt homesick/guilty. The first film in a long time that did not show patriotism in the light  of violence, hatred and turbulent times and still struck a chord with the audiences. Wonder where the wiser filmmakers are hiding now or are the scripts. PS: This was also a rare time when an SRK films made sense to me. (I know this comment will draw flack for me)
