Ideas.

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Naved

 

I recently read something very interesting by a film maker “Jim Jarmusch” and find it worth sharing, and I think this is true, an idea has to be born from somewhere.

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery – celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to.” – Jim Jarmusch

What do you think about this, feel free to drop a line or two.

my 2012

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Naved

Asalamulakium and hello everyone, today i thought to take some time out and shed some light on my 365 photography project and just a little something about 2012.

okay, the above picture was captured on 1/1/2012 and is part of my 365 series, i have almost stopped uploading and updating it on my blog mainly cuz i am not really able and not really sure to do it on dialy basis on my bog, beside that the project is all set and fired everyday on my facebook may be someday i will do a BEST OF 365 on my blog :)

now something for 2012, so i am pretty much clear and focused and here is how.

“as most of us, I too want to be successful and to define it in one word, then its all about balance. I want to be spiritually, mentally, physically, economically and socially well balanced. I am focused on keeping a very balanced perspective in my life. Want to be intellectually growing, socially interactive, economically independent and progressive. Spiritually growing, physically fit. We just cant focus on work alone, although work is very important. We need to focus on all the things that in unison can lead to good things.”

thats all about it. and pretty much sure i am gona achieve what i am aiming for :)

Happy new year

Dhobi Ghat

Posted on December 23, 2011 by Naved

just watched the movie “Dhobi Ghat” really nice movie and a very different story, i liked everything about it technically. from sound to camera work and acting as well. the best thing about the movie is that it inspires you creatively so much. For every serious movie lover its a must watch.
After watching this movie i am just thinking and wondering, what if this same exact movie is made in Pakistan, with same exact story line. and choosing Karachi instead of Mumbai ? just a random thought. how would people react to this.

My heart’s desire comes to my lips as a prayer

God, make my life as one of a candle, a guiding light,

My presence would destroy the darkness of this world,

And my burning light would illuminate all space

My actions would be for my country, beautiful and admired

Just as a flower adds to the beauty of a garden

My life would be like that of a moth that loves light and flies into it!

Such would be my love for Knowledge!

I would work not but to help the poor

And to fill the lives of the lost and old with love

God, save me from the evil and wrong

And keep me on the path that is straight and righteous – (by Allama M. Iqbal)
