MISTAKE #2



Every day it’s a new morning, new start and new lesson to learn from mistakes.

Honestly speaking i was never interested in knowing what mistakes others did the way i was excited to know about Prajakt's Mistakes.

His lessons became words of wisdom for me. No other Filmmaker has so much to share about experiences or rather they don't prefer to share.

"So what was Chutiyapa no.2 you did during LASTBENCHERS movie?" I asked Prajakt the moment we settled with our cutting chai.

"Actually ye koi galti nahi hai. But I realise about it very late. Still I won't say ki mujhe ye pata nahi tha, anjane me ho gaya, Don't blame me of that, blah blah blah…" Prajakt said taking more time than usual to put everything before me.

"Ok…but what it was?" i persisted with same question.

"Newcomers ko hire karo, par unhe jo apni raah se bhatakte nahi hai. Humari industry me Professionals ki tulna me Strugglers aur Newcomers ki jamat bahot jada hai. 5-6 saal ka experience wale professionals’ bhi galti karte hai par Newcomers ki tarah wo bhatakte nahi hai. unhe pata hota hai kis galti ko kaise sudhara jaye ya kaise chupaya jaye" Prajakt replied.

"Isn't that obvious??? Ye to har jagah hota hai aur is liye newcomers ko chance nahi milta.. toh is me tumhari Galti kya tho??" I said, as I couldn't understand what he meant.

"Maine Newcomers ko galat judge kiya. maine zaruratmand ko kaam diya na ki kabil aur deserving bande ko."

"How to know ki kaunsa newcomer deserving hai? How to avoid this?" i continued with my rapid fire rounds.

"Kisi ki iccha pe mat jao, wo kitna struggle karne k liye tayar hai wo dekho. How strongly he is ready to fight, bounce back after failing and keep on trying till he achieve his dream. That’s equally important as how talented he is." Prajakt explained.

He also said "Mere sath problem ye tha ki main bhi newcomer tha aur newcomers ko le k movie banana chahta tha. Is sabme meri thodi si lag gayi. Aur main nahi chahta koi aur Filmmaker ye galti karey."

"Got it. Won't happen next time. At least wo log to nahi karenge jo isse padhenge…” I replied.


"Now thats enough for day. Mujhe sirf galtiya hi nahi ginni, Aagey bhi badhna hai" Prajakt said smiling at his comment.
