Good Feeling #4 – Story times with the passionate storytellers of TMYS

Image
TMYS had three recent back-to-back releases TMYS is reaching out  to more storytellers  today. Out there; yes, right out there, exists a community of storytellers. Their minds keep wandering. I won’t say this wandering only happens around ideas. These minds wander around certain thoughts, which take the shape of passionate stories. Storytellers are greedy, hungry and thirsty by birth. This greed, hunger and thirst is for wealth; don’t misunderstand this wealth to be of materialistic value. This value is all about the earthen pot of stories, which is wealthier than all other wealth in this world. Many might not know that the Sippys; producers of the Indian epic Sholay had rented a bungalow for their resident writers Salim-Javed (Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan) to gift them a writers-friendly environment. So tough to believe, isn’t it? Two of the finest writers of Indian cinema had an entire bungalow to spend time writing stories. In short, storytellers are a...

Maddie makes sure her Grey Sails What matters the most is how much you evolved as a soul Stories keep floating around us. But we don’t take deep interest in them or often avoid discovering them. If the story has a shock value, we tend to grow a little biased too. If it sounds odd, I’ve nothing to say.

She is the first iPhonOgrapher, I had the privilege to meet and become friends with.

Friends like me, who know her will be heard saying – Oh yes Maddie is passionate about Warli Art, Tattoos, Crochets, etc. But this is not that story. This is a story about one ...

Good Feeling #2 – An Unseen India

Prashant Mhatre - Capturing another moment of an Unseen India It is all about the passion, he feels for the country in which we were born. On February 7 th , 2020 Prashant made his debut in Kolkata as the founder of his newly launched venture TRAVEL UNSEEN INDIA . Don’t get me wrong when I write, Prashant made his debut in Kolkata. He has been to the City of Joy on other occasions too; mostly when he had to travel due to his work. But this was going to be his first ever vacation in the official city of Biggie Biggie Bong Bongs. Accompanied by his wife, Prashant’s arrived in Kolkata during late evening hours. He was travelling by the Mumbai CST – Howrah Duronto Express (12261), which got delayed unreasonably. This is that very trip, which I think could have made his resolve stronger to present an India still unseen by the world. Since Prashant and Swati’s trip was timed around one of the yet-to-fade-month of winter (February), it was unexpected of how Kolkata was g...
