Hi, i think that i saw you visited my weblog so i came to “return the favor”.I am attempting to find things to improve my web site!I suppose its ok to use a few of your ideas!!|
Namaskar Shekhar,
All Past is in the Past of the Present, All Future is in the Future of the Present… All that is there then, is the pReSent of the Present !!
REalizing Who i Am capable of Being’ gives me the Courage to harness the Energy that wants to say I wish to Find My Expression of Life merge with the Shadows of Creativity that’s Life’s Delight !
Who am I, is not a question anymore when the Answer looms large before you & you wish to have the Strength, Courage, determination, Passion, Hunger, Thirst to Run To Each Micro Milli Meter of this Existence & Hug Everyones Sorrow, Pain, Anger, Hatred & Bitterness, Cos how could the experience of Oneness with this Universe as a Creator be Joyful, Blissful unless you have empowered each & every Life source, who are nothing but your own expressions, hopping silly with an absurd imagination of a Name that Does not Exist, with a Tool to facilitate a roadmap to find its, his or her way Home ?
The attempt then is not of the Ego to become a Super man or Super Human… The attempt is to just Dissolve, Merge, or Unbecome, so so so small & empty that it can be easily filled or absorbed by the Genius of NO Mind, or No Thing Or Divine’
I wish to have your Companionship, friendship, guidance on this the beginning of the Most Joyful Journey’s of Life Where Death is No More.. and all that is there is the Sound & Light of a Play called “Life”
Would love to start to begin an eternal quest seeking your indulgence in the mind space of my Nothingness from where everything just about seems to Emerge !!
Love, Light & Hugs

Hello mr, kapoor,
I found your tweet ‘Please please please hold management of bus company criminally responsible for violent rape in Delhi http://tinyurl.com/cwlqy8v ‘
I ama campaigner with Change.org and would be great if we can mobilise people on this tweet (campaign).
Wanted to know if you re interested in starting a campaign on this https://www.change.org/start-a-petition
Looking forward to your reply,

Dear Mr.Kapoor,
Saw you at NDTV tonight on the topic of rape in the light of the latest Delhi Gang Rape. Kudos for agreeing to stick your neck out and accepting that Indian Cinema/ media has to play it role responsibly. It is saddening to see the utter objectification of women in movies and advertising.
We look to west, specifically Hollywood. ( wish we leaned more towards Europe). But the difference between the society and portrayal of it in cinema is far less than in case of India
Can we hope to see a initiative/ mobilization from you which will look at ? Even an advertising campaign to address the matter will be a big step. Anything that utilizes the larger than life ‘Bollywood’ personalities and media savvy to some good use of the society.
Thanks
Sir, always been a genuine admirer of yours:) Especially the way you perceive the stories and human life 🙂 And the best part..”Living in the present, living right here in this moment” 🙂
It feels great and i personally have found utmost peace by meditation and dhyaan 🙂
Looking really forward to watch and rather experience your great films in Bollywood 🙂 And a real thumbs up to you for your such a great effort for “Qyuki.com” 🙂 We so much appreciate it 🙂 🙂
Everything is so nicely created 🙂 🙂
With warm regards and respect,

Dear Mr. Shekhar,

I have done many plays and short films and would like to send you my resume. I am currently based in Mumbai and am fluent in Gujarati, Hindi and English. I was wondering if there is a possibility for me to introduce myself to you more properly and see if there is a chance for us to work together. Do let me know ! Thank you so much. My contact no is 9167287889.
Extract from my Essay on QYUKI blog:
NFDC & Doordarshan Promoting Rape
An Open letter to all Journalists of India to ask Burning Questions to Mr. Naseeruddin Shah
Please watch this movie link on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEQkskfGgFA
Movie Title: Triyacharitra
Producer: NFDC and DoorDarshan India Year 1994
Director: Basu Chatterji
Actors: Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri and S M Zaheer
Synopsis: This movie promotes that a woman who gets raped by her own father in law (Naseeruddin Shah) is punished by the Village Panchayat by burning her forehead with a hot iron rod (lohay ka Sariyaa) as per judgement given by the Vllage Sarpanch (played by S M Zaheer) and her screaming protests go unheard despite other women of the village who are supporting her and giving evidence of the characterlessness of the Father- in -Law.
Do Mr. Shekhar Gupta, Ms. Barkha Dutt, Mr. Prannoy Roy, Ms. Mrinal Pandey as responsible social journalists have the GUTS NOW to ask the following BURNING QUESTIONS:
(1) How did NFDC & DoorDarshan (both owned by Government of India) agree to produce a movie promoting such INHUMAN, IMMORAL and CRIMINAL act of rape victim being punished publicly and JUSTICE BEING DENIED TO HER AND THE CRIMINAL ROAMING FREE WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE VILLAGE PANCHAYAT?
(2) What “Majboori” did Naseerudin Shah have to accept that role despite being a renowned and responsible actor? Mr. Naseeruddin Shah, “Kya us waqt tumahari “Rozi-Roti” ka sawaal tha; ya Tumharaa “Career” bananay kaa swaaal tha? No wonder your career has ended up rotten with the roles you did in “Ishqiya” and “Dirty Picture”. Can the media now force Mr. Naseeruddin Shah to take retirement and not coninue to play more rapist’s role despite being a “Budhau” rather than forcing “young” Sachin Tendulkar to take retirement from playing clean & honest cricket?
(3) The Result of such movies and other movies acted by such greedy actors and actresses are resulting in their fans who are ending up as GANG RAPISTS?
All this will change when Al-Qaeeda will arrive openly in Bollywood and everyone will see Raeality Show jismay Garam Sariya say Sabhi Corrupt Politicans, Media Moguls air Bollywood Rapists ki Gaand pay daag dega aur banega USAQ (United States of Al-Qaeda)
Al Qaeda ki Sabsay Badee “DABBANG” – AQ ki Badi Akka Bua!

Dear Phillip, I have created a new stream on my blog on the subject matter and have published your letter to me, please do read and write more under that stream if you wish. thank you for writing to me, Shekhar
After travelling to different places, shrines, temples and a prolong search of myself. Ultimately, i found myself in the desert. The spirit of garib nawaz occupied me. People at dargah are the proof of it whatever happened to me on 19th of January 2013 at night. i feel i could be the guarantee of success but i don’t have any connection in b’town. In this journey, a baba met me and mentioned the different names like Shekhar and Aditya. i never thought of going into show business but baba showed me towards it. i don’t know dream is chasing me or i am chasing dream. sometimes it is like
“itni shiddat se mene tumhe paane ki koshish ki he
ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazaish ki he”.

I would really like your thoughts on this subject. I’ve about 4-5 questions for you. It won’t take a lot of time, I promise. Looking forward to hear from you.
Please drop me a line if you have any queries.

Dear Sir,I recently came to know that you are a Chartered Accountant by qualification.I really admire your movies and have tremendous respect for you because of all that you have achieved at an international level,unlike any other Indian filmmaker.
I have also just completed my CA but somehow,like you would have felt back then,I don’t see myself working in this field for the rest of my life.Sir I am very passionate about cinema,but have no technical knowledge of the same.Wish to have a chance to work under you in any role that you might find me suitable for,so I could learn from you,and have an experience to cherish all my life.Looking forward to hear from you.

Dear Mr. Kapur,
I enjoy reading your blog posts and find them very informative, personal and thought provoking. I am a huge fan of your work and the fact that you can transcend the boundaries of our countries and direct films abroad. I have worked and studied in Los Angeles and England for the past eight years and have finally made my base Mumbai where I am looking for projects to work on as an assistant director. If you can forward me your office address or number, I can send in my resume along with samples of my work. I would be great to be considered for your future projects.

Hello sir. hope you are fine. Your movies are like body with soul. I am a leading researcher on 19th century Indian Barrister Virchand Gandhi who was contemporary to swami vivekanand & mahatma gandhi . But world today hardly knows about him. Though he died only at age of 37 , his life was full of interesting incidents . He had also captivated in 1893’s event at par with great Swami Vivekanand & as a friend used to help mahatma gandhi in understanding indian law by telling him different stories. Mark Twain had met Virchand Gandhi on his visit to india then but some how few historians thought it was mahatma gandhi .

Dear Mr. Shekhar Kapur
I have written a script in Italian, English and Bengali about an Italian man who comes to Kolkata in search of his roots. Would you be interested in reading the script? Please contact me at the given email id.
If Director Shekar would like to follow his excellent “Elizabeth” movies with one on Wellesley (Wellington) in India 1800, he should browse the website http://www.houseofshah.com. The story revolves around both Wellesley and a 17 year old Gujarati lad called Ujjam. Fresh from his experience under Ang Lee in Life of Pi, Suraj Sharma could be cast as Ujjam. There are many in England that could play the role of Wellesley.. Mark Strong, for instance.
As the most prominent Gujarati, of course second to Narendra Modi, might appeal to Anil Ambani for Reliance Entertainment… The story begins with Wellington Reminiscing at Wellington House and then quickly moves to Surat, the 18th century trading port in India, when Mumbai was just a motley collection of seven islands…There is a second book, the Sinai Conspiracy, which might also be of some interest although its written for Western audiences with the CIA/Mossad/BND all involved.

Dear Sir,
I heard you’ll direct a Hollywood film about the Chinese collies in US in the 19th century. Is it true? If so, it’ll be very very great.
May I suggest, in order to match historic accuracy, the Chinese characters in the film, should speak Cantonese, instead of Mandarin, since most Chinese coolies in the 19th century were from the Canton area?

Would love if you’d like to listen to it!:)
It would be great if you can provide me where to send the song 🙂

Hi Mr Shekhar Kapur,
In regard to your recent question : do you think childrens textbooks should tell the truth on the society they are about to become adults in?
Here it is :
I question the validity of textbooks.
Children should be encouraged to ask questions and make informed opinions about the society they are about to become adults in (which in the 21st century – means the entire world).
Lessons should pose an issue, allow children to identify possible solutions and analyse the effects of such solutions on society and the environment. Children are more than capable of understanding a universal context of morals and ethics. Ask any P5 kid about racism, stereotyping, discrimination, environmental conservation and they’ll give you their two cents. Hang on, ask any Beacon P5 kid! 😉 And no textbook teaches that!
The question is not about telling the truth, the question is about discovering the truth. And every child has the right to be a child and discover information as and when they are ready to accept it.
Tell a child there is no Santa Claus when he/she is 2 years..? Have a heart!

I would in all the likelihood say I understand where all of you’ll are coming from but then again I would refrain myself in doing so.
Allow me to explain. Everyone out here likes to discuss/blog/comment/etc. since all consider themselves to be nothing less than an idealist or even a visionary. No one really wants to be any realistic about this matter. This blog dates back to 2010 and we are now in 2013, what has changed since then??? NOTHING!! Expect to the fact that Maharashtra is also now a part to this whole water problem and I am sure there shall be even more Indian states to add to. Is this what we intend in show casing, how we as Indian see our future to be like. God forbid for me making such a statement.
I know that doesnt prove my point in continuing commenting, yet! You see I was brought up in south bombay and have moved to seven bungalows Andheri. And never in my life have I been brought about to face any water issues. Uk/America/Germany/Singapore/etc., not only have over come these issues but have gone a step ahead by solving the problem in getting clean water to their people. You could literally stick a glass under a tap and drink it without the fear of getting any germs along.
So my point being, the only way people from other countries watching ‘Paani’, would relate to your movie is by feeling pity towards we as Indians, cause we have done nothing to change our livelihood for the better, except of course write a few blogs or even make a few movies on it. But then what??? Would we see change??? Would the cycle find it’s pedal??? Nah, I think not. So how do we go about it.
My advise, stop trying to capitalize on such topics, making it a perception for others to think thus, as one of our Indian culture. Rather make movies on our true indian culture, which is rich and vibrant in so many different ways (I have one such film idea, if its hard for you~ Shekhar~ to find. You wouldnt have to look to far too, just ask one of your AD;Mihir helping you on ‘Paani’ for me). And then capitalize on such films, hence using the funds accumulated; in developing our society and up bring the lives of our people and resolving the water issue once and for all.
You do realise that New York uses swage water to be refined into drinking water. And Kuwait uses see water for the same. Its clear, development is the only way and funds in doing so and above all an honest person to execute that plan. Problem solved. Else we could just go on and on about it, till all the water indeed does run dry.
Hi Shekahr,
I am Max and would like to put a word if we can talk on mail regarding producing one movie under your name.
Rgds, Max
