Sometimes, but not always you might find an article about cricket or life in Bombay, India, squeezed amongst all the reel talk. In that case, go watch a movie and visit another time.http://www.planetrusty.com/blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Rustom Irani)Blogger2125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373333922736857535.post-6861559077112582965Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:40:00 +00002009-01-07T19:33:32.668+05:30Okay, I'll confess. The New Year actually caught up to me, stuck it's tongue out and passed me, while I was writing a flat year's end article for the blog.<br /><br />It also doesn't befit the title of a blog that promises to deliver film knowledge in brevity, to be tardy in executing such promises.<br /><br />Rest assured my new readers and the lone rodent manning the hamster wheel in my head, I'm actually working on a few ideas to go about this process of delivering content, that might set it apart from similar veins of thought pondered upon by individuals more adept at this, than I am.<br /><br />All I ask is a tiny bit of patience and wish you a peaceful and auspicious New Year.http://www.planetrusty.com/2009/01/fifteen-minutes-and-then-some.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Rustom Irani)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373333922736857535.post-5455973322187487264Mon, 15 Dec 2008 17:52:00 +00002008-12-15T23:37:43.425+05:30The weekend of December 13th and 14th I was an active participant at the second Indian Screenwriters Conference.<br /><br />To be honest, I finally came face to face with an Indian screenwriter and know that he/she isn't a rare species, caged by a "ringmaster" producer in a sweatshop, but is a rather astute and intelligent person who finally wants his/her due and is happy to be recognised for his/her writing and writing only.<br /><br />Sure, there were celebrities, celebrity writers and press hounds, but for the fledgling screen-writer of hindi cinema, and I'm one too, it is very heartening to finally realise the support of an entire community who for the first time in fifty years have finalised a healthy, brilliant and extremely encouraging contract, which might see the light of day.<br /><br />I'll have more on the event in the coming days.<br /><br />In the meantime, my readers might realise the change in my blog format and style. I switched over to a better blog host, rather than my web host and hopefully will make this a comfortable nest for future talks with my visitors.<br /><br />As always, I look forward to comments and suggestions.http://www.planetrusty.com/2008/12/indian-screenwriters-conference-2008.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Rustom Irani)1
