Cost is too high...

'Jeevitham oru kazhcha vasthu aakaradhu... Sandhosham aayalam, sangadam aayalum adhil oru sogaryadha vennam...' Dialogue from Sathyan Anthikad film Vinodayaatra. Means ' You should not make life an exhibition. Be it happiness or sorrow there should be some privacy'. I was searching youtube for the 'video of Balachander's speech on Aamir 'receiving the 11th Gollapudi Srinivas award for best direction for Taare Zameen Par. My search key words weren't exact, so I landed up watching the media's coverage on cat fights in the film industry. Don't actors need privacy? The obvious answer is celebrity status comes with a cost... How easy to say, why don't people understand they are actors just before camera, and acting is a profession just like any other. At the end of the day they too need love, they too are open to all emotions... There are other ways to raise your TRP... Talk about their works rather than their personal lives... Must be this topic is a trifle and outdated one to blog on but I just tried to wear their shoes for a moment and will tell you it hurts... hurts like hell...

Quotes of Viggo Mortensen - good ones!

If you're trying to please everyone, then you're not going to make anything that is honestly yours, I don't think, in the long run.

I definitely need to sleep more. But as they say, you can sleep when you're dead.

There's no excuse to be bored. Sad, yes. Angry, yes. Depressed, yes. Crazy, yes. But there's no excuse for boredom, ever.
