The (in)sane Smile Road #71 of 365 Poems

The road seems to have no end through the mammoth mountains blanketed with clouds deserted for eternity the one who seeks will never find; other than being lost. Everyone is destined to meet each other as strangers matured enough to not one really care and not bother who they know And smile?, It’s now just a sign of sanity There is no amazement in how … Continue reading The (in)sane Smile Road #71 of 365 Poems

For Big Ideas to catch on they need Short Films more than Big Names

How does change happen? It happens in many ways but the most powerful in my opinion is when you can create a glimpse that give people a long vision into the future. That is exactly what the young film maker John Samuel has achieved through his 90 second micro short film ‘Allagi’. ALLAGI is a Greek word and means the CHANGE or shift or transition. … Continue reading For Big Ideas to catch on they need Short Films more than Big Names
