Vidur’s Film Diary – January 2015

MUMBAI – MAHARASHTRA – INDIA           FEBRUARY 28, 2015           01.20 A.M.

[ DECLARATION : In my film diary, since May 2014, I have started mentioning names of only those grateful students, who respect me as their teacher and accept and regard my contribution in their journey of life. All the other students, who worked this month but are not mentioned here are the ungrateful , who refuse to acknowledge me and my contribution in any way. Their feelings are reciprocated. They are free from any obligation from my side. GOD BLESS THEM ! ]

Today I am posting 36th film diary . It’s now 3 years , since I started writing my film diaries . 3 continuous and uninterrupted years are quite long time to survive in writing diaries . Sometimes boredom , sometimes fatigue over – powers you and you leave writing in between . So , as I post 36th diary , a sense of fulfillment , a sense of satisfaction engulfs me completely .

One day , may be these diaries will be published in a book form . But , who knows ? May be one day …….. or may be not .
