My Beliefs - Part 2

My Beliefs: Subject to change when I'm wrong :-)

To judge others is inevitable but your judgments may not matter after all.

I respect and appreciate an enemy who curses me on my face rather than a friend who speaks behind my back and is too much of a coward to question my actions.

The most scariest is the Unknown and People are always Unknown and Unpredictable.

When a Dog barks at you, its wise to ignore and walk away.
If the Dog jumps at your throat, Reflex... even if you have to kill it... save yourself.
[ I apologize to the dogs for using them as a metaphor.]

Assume - Most start with the Dumbest and Mundane assumptions..... very few have the patience to find the truth. 

(I've written more about Assumptions in another post - http://pradeepsrants.blogspot.in/2010/08/art-of-assuming.html )

Honesty is a very big Turn on.

Confrontations on ideas or Exchange of opinions can be very interesting, but very difficult to find interesting people.

Its so funny to see people shrink in size when EGO takes over
their Rationale.

To Err is Human...
To Err all the time is Stupid....
To Err and learn from it is Smart....
To Err, learn from it and make it look Cool... now that's Brilliance.

I'm not Brilliant, but I do make an effort to not be Stupid.

I'm not Perfect, so are You.

Third Rate doesn't have anything to do with poverty, even the most richest person can be Third Rate.

You "Yap" about everyone around you, most probably others are doing the same about you.

The most difficult thing to achieve is Consistency.

There are very few "Absolutes" in Life. Absolut vodka is one among them :)  

Curiosity is really Good, only when it makes you Smart.

The more you try, the more obvious you get.

Experiences can make you Numb.

When Confidence is taken over by Arrogance, you literally look like a Fool.

Make your move, when you are sure of Winning.
But sometimes your Efforts matter more, even when you Fail.

If you get Disturbed easily, most probably you will also end up disturbing others.

Whining can lead to Irritation can lead to Anger can lead to Stupidity can lead to Mistakes can lead to Regrets can lead to Whining........

Men lie all the time but Women are better liars (not all men and Women though)

"Personal Life" it's just that, literally.

Never interfere in other people's personal lives, unless you are part of it.

I don't judge people by their personal lives unless and until its mine too...

When Mediocrity is the Norm, Confidence seems like Over Confidence.

One cannot act for life.

Do not question the intelligence of an honest person.

You might be extremely talented in your craft but Personality will eventually decide your Destiny.

Arrive at a conclusion only when you have all the facts, every story has multiple versions and IDIOTS make up their mind listening to one side.

There are limits for Multitasking.

There will always be someone better than you, so don't be jealous - be inspired.

A Critic will "make sense" only when he/she Introspects first.

I don't give a FUCK about what you think of me unless and until I have some RESPECT for you.

Frame By Frame - Pasanga [Kids]

My first project at Film school was a very unique one, Frame By Frame.

It’s 2D animation, a 30 seconds video of 720 hand drawn frames on 35mm Film. The size of a frame was 1.9cm X 2.5cm, drawing on the film with such constrained space took a lot of effort but it was fun.

Our Project name was – Pasanga (Kids)

As my hero, The Joker says: Let’s put a smile on that Face.

Thanks to all, who put that smile on My Face…… :-)

Cheers
