Mr.Ken Ghosh (Editor/Director and My Guru)– How often do u find the right person at the right time when you are desperately looking for a change in life….the answer would be…not often!!! But in my case Ken is one such person who I was introduced to by that eternal power when may be I most needed him…A person who is responsible for my existence in this Industry…a person who listened to me at the correct time when I wanted to be heard and treated me like a younger bro…I still remember how he used to be strict with me and always made sure that I maintain a notebook in which I was supposed to note down each and every possible connection of the machines (We used to work on the Hi Band (Umatic) setups) and then he would suddenly ask me to do any connection possible on the editing machines…I cherish every single day that I assisted him and believe me I can write about each and every day I got to spend in his company…I pray to God that some day I should get a chance to serve him again…A wonderful human being and a gentle soul…I thank him from the bottom of my heart
Mr. Mohi-Ud-Din Mirza (Director)– for being there for every single technical detail which I wanted to clarify with him as a senior technician…this man is an ocean of film knowledge…and a thorough perfectionist…the last time I got to meet him was at an editing studio where I did not leave a chance of asking him something and that was the “Axis Jump” which he explained to me in detail…there is something charismatic about this man…his smile…his cheeky talks…his attitude towards life…amazing…Thanks Mohi-Ud-Din sir…
Mr.Sabas Joseph (Partner Wizcraft International)– Aha now that’s my favourite human being of all….a person who gave me my first independent break as an editor and guess what was my first assignment “the 5th Anniversay AV of Wizcraft”...he is very very dear to me…and the best part is he knows it…this man instilled in me the qualities of good talking….self presentation…and punctuality…and most importantly the “Be there When Needed” attitude…I vil be ever so greatful to this man…
Mr. Anil Dharkar (Coloumnist / Writer)– He may not remember this but he was the person who actually went through my first article which I wrote on Ken Ghosh in 1994…though it was just written out of respect for my Guru and was not supposed to get printed anywhere…but it was one of those efforts of mine then, which was again a step which took me one step further in my writing skills…Mr. Anil Dharkar was editing one of his film there in the studio and I did not leave the opportunity of getting my written effort to scan through his eyes while he was relaxing for a few minutes….he had appreciated the effort and told me to keep it up…I thank him for those kind words which he spoke for me and which are remembered more than often by me…
Ms. Vinta Nanda (Writer / Director)– One more lady who I admire to the core….words flow in her veins in place of blood I feel and that’s what is the fuel of her life…a beautiful human being…so calm…so friendly…and so intelligent…What I picked up from her was the art of character development for a story…too good…thank you for whatever I have learnt from you Vinta ji
Mr. Sydfield (Writer)– I have never met him…I know him through his various books though I would love meeting him...this great man has been my teacher who has taught me how to write a screenplay…what formats to follow…what to avoid…what to imbibe…so very thankful to you sir…
