<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Writing the Story is fun because it takes you up on a parachute, and you get to play God. If God wants you to get uplifted, he will inspire you to write a story. </span></span></div>

<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I remember a text book called Community Work, from the pre primary level of school. After every chapter, they had a sub title in bold, ‘Moral of the story’. So it is drummed into our heads, that stories are all about morals. However, in our experience, our life long and on going love affair with mythology, movies and literature, proves the opposite. Stories take us beyond morality. They take us to the field which is beyond good and bad, where Rumi promised to meet us.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A story can take you from good to bad in moments. A master storyteller, like Alfred Hitchcock, does this so effortlessly in the film, Psycho. A young woman is murdered ruthlessly in the shower by this sick character called Norman Bates. After she is dead, Norman cleans the shower of all the blood stains. Then he wraps her dead body in a carpet and takes it down the stairs in the dark of the night. He puts her in her cars dickie and drives away. He reaches a pond, where he manages to push the car in. And he stands there, watching the car sink slowly in the water. Just as it is about to sink totally below the surface, the car stops sinking. We see Normans tense face and at that moment, all of us have a deeply immoral thought: the car should sink. And it does.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The point here is not that it is ok to murder and then try to hide proof. The point of a story is that is gives you an experience of life which you otherwise wouldn't have had. In Psycho you become the Psycho. You feel what he feels, at least for a moment. The bravest, the most righteous person can feel fear in a horror movie. And in this the story is more powerful than morals.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All stories, by definition, are false. Ramayan, Mahabharat, and what happened yesterday. When Tulsidas narrated the Ramayan, he exercised his creative license to delete, add and change Valmikis version at crucial phases of the text. They all are made from the stuff of the imaginary mind, which itself does not exist. Cinema itself, is an illusion of twentyfour still frames projected per second on a huge screen in a dark theater. Even a documentary film, has a perspective of the director on which it heavily depends. On the other side of the spectrum, a film like Superman is a worldwide hit.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A film should be believable. It need not be realistic. When you buy the tickets of a film like Superman, you buy into the belief that in the world of Superman which you are entering for the next couple of hours, Superman can and does fly.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The root of all stories is drama. Be it art or commercial, realistic or bizarre, a film’s success depends largely on to what extent the audience brought into the belief in the narrative.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A story like Cinderella is retold across centuries and to date its theme ( socially unequal couple ) is repeated in every other film.</span></span></div>

<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mahatma Gandhi, a great exponent of truth, once had an interesting conversation with Birla, his host in Delhi.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">‘Bapu,’ said Birla reverently, ‘You have done so much for us. Indians will never forget you.’</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">‘That’s not true, I will be forgotten sooner than you would like to imagine. The only two characters Indians will never forget are Ram and Krishna.’</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So even the father of the nation knew that stories are more powerful than truth.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why is a story more powerful than</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">c) you.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A story is always bigger than its characters. However great Bhagat Singh is, his sacrifice is what made him great. Rajesh Khanna became a star because romance was in the air. Amitabh took over because the romance gave way to frustration and anger. Angry became the new wave.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A story is more powerful than the writer. Once the script is bought by the producer, the chord is cut. The script may be written by whoever, a film is always the director’s baby.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The script may be adapted from a book, but anyone who has loved a book will never be happy with the film. I am sure Chetan Bhagat wept when he saw three Idiots, which was inspired from his book, Five point someone.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A story is what pulls the audience in the cinema halls. The actors, or the stars, are there to act out the story.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the biggest storywriter of all, the almighty, thinks nothing of popping a character he has so lovingly breathed life into, when he loses interest in the sand castle. Savitri was perhaps the only woman who convinced God to give her back her husband. Amitabh's character, in film after film, had to leave the earthly abode. What does not leave us, however, is their story.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(228, 228, 228); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once time lost a moment. All we count find there, was a story.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #20124d;">Not the hippy ‘new-age’ self-love that relies on spiritual bypassing, fragmented boundaries and chronic suppression to maintain a dogged determination for nothing but a perpetual shiny, sparkly positivity.</span></span></div>

<strong> </strong>Aim –<i> In the professional world of films, the audio visual format of the screenplay is the only way to 'show' your story. Your script will not be read unless it is written in the correct format. The final stage of the process is a storyboard, basically illustrations of all the shots such that the images and camera angles are clearly visualised. If you can master the art of the storyboard, your script is ready to be shot.</i></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since this course deals with fiction films, we would first tap the biggest reservoir of stories : an unblocked storehouse of memories and emotions. We will also understand the structure of the conflict-resolution story, and we shall dip into the Navarasas. The aim of the workshop is to dig out the blocks that hamper the sprouting of the creative juices and fuel the love of writing towards an intense and natural discipline. It will help the beginner as well as the writer who is stuck in the middle of a story, a script, a film….</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Students will get assignments to work on during the week, and they will be expected to write a short story by the end of the module.</span></span></div>

I did not go to the ghat when my grandmother died.<br />
<br />
Neither did my mother.<br />
<br />
It was not done those days.<br />
<br />
Women didn't go with men to see the dead burn.<br />
<br />
The pyre shot was seen only in the cinema.<br />
<br />
maybe we started going to the funeral,<br />
<br />
we gave asthi to our dad,<br />
<br />
because<br />
<br />
they have stopped showing the famous pyre shot<br />
<br />
in todays cinema.<br />
<br />
if and when i make a film,<br />
<br />
i will definately<br />
<br />
shoot a pyre shot.<br />
<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The secret behind a good film is a well told story. All of us have many stories in our cupboard, but we don’t know how to tell them. I begin my script writing course by teaching the</span><span style="color: black; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Navrasas</span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, which form the elementary basis of storytelling.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Indian art scene, traditionally, is formulated as a <i>sadhana</i>, a spiritual path. The path of devotion is strewn with artists and the art force. Sculpture, architecture, instrumental music, classical vocal music, dance, storytelling and theater. Our great ancestors of cinema. Our forefathers of scriptwriting. Let us begin our learning with turning back and listening to their wisdom.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The N</span><span style="color: black; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">atya Shastra</span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, literally translated as the technique of drama, is a big fat book written by Bharat Muni, in the twelfth century. Outdated, you may say, but it’s a gem because it encodes the secret of the box office success of the Indian cinema all over the world. The overused but magical term, </span><span style="color: black; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">the masala formula</span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, is none other than a modernised, trivialised version of Bharat Munis' concept of the <i>Navrasas.</i></span></div>
</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="im" style="color: #500050;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Which is why, if you want to write a script for an Indian movie, fillum in short, it is imperative to begin by tapping into <span style="line-height: 12.48px;">our immense wealth, the</span> </span><span style="color: black; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Navrasas</span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, . </span></div>
</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="im" style="color: #500050;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So what exactly is a ras? Let us not be hasty in understanding the term. Because haste will swallow the mystery. Let us, like a cow, chew on the term.</span></div>
</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="im" style="color: #500050;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Literally, ras is juice. Juice that a fruit or a vegetable is crushed to release. A juice is relishable, nutritious and quickly absorbed. It is intense. It is the essence. </span></div>
</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="im" style="color: #500050;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ras can be equated to </span><span style="color: black; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">bhava</span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, but not with emotion, for the word emotion has gone astray. Like the rupee, its value keeps going down. A baby crying from hunger is an emotion, but a Devdas yearning for a Paro is a ras. The baby will stop crying when fed, but Devdas will die outside Parvati's door. Devdas is eternal grief, a grief so relishable that our film makers cannot keep themselves away from wallowing in this devdas-ras, not even in a single fillum. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The natya-shastra mentions nine rasas: Shringar, Adbhuta, Hasya, Shanta, Rudra, Veer, Karun, Bhaya, and Vibhatsa. The charm of this analysis is that the interpretation of the rasas is by default a personal reflection. The ras that intrigues you the most is the ras you can work with.</span></div>

Now you can learn to write a complete screenplay from anywhere in India or outside.</div>
<div>
I offer this workshop online, we can meet on gtalk, or on skype. You would be expected to submit your assignments by email. Call me for a free trial class.</div>

Your script will not be read unless it is written in the correct format. The final stage of the process is a storyboard, which is an illustration of all the shots such that the images and camera angles are clearly visualised. If you can master the art of the storyboard, your script is ready to be shot.</i></div>

What is the source of the artistic impulse? A film, or a book, is born as a thought, a strong, palpable feeling that tugs. Once identified, this tug can be the link to the big bundle, the one that can stream out as the novel. All you need to do is to catch that thread from your bundle of thoughts and keep puling gently. Maybe you sat with a pen in your hand and tried to write. And maybe your bundle got tight and the thread snapped. Untangling that bundle can be a delicate, at times painful, but ultimately fulfilling creative process. Dealing with the tangled bundle requires something they don't sell in the shops. You can try to use fevicol and stick your bottom to the writers chair. If that doesn't work, come sign up for Manjushree's Creative Writing Workshop.<br /><br />Feedback from students who have attended Manjushree Abhinav's Creative Writing Workshops:<br /><br />"Something more than creative writing happened in this class. I didn't realize that I had so much pain stored inside. During the writers' block exercise, when Manjushree made us time travel to our childhood, I remembered the three year old girl who would dance, waiting for my father to come home and I wept tears of joy". - Sri Lata M<br /><br />DEALING WITH THE WRITERS' BLOCK<br /><br />Why do we write? Because we need to tell the story. As children, all of us are born creative. When we learn to talk, there is no difference between imagination and reality. Education encourages us to develop our logic and the creative process takes a back seat. The glimpses of the muse are short and sweet: She comes visiting, she leaves a scene and takes back the movie. Missing the muse, the creative spirit, leads to the writer's block.<br /><br />Creative blockage can happen to the best of artists. Although we call this a writer's unblocking ritual, this exercise is known to help all kinds of artists in getting over their creative blocks. This exercise is self-introspective and at the same time lighthearted. Words get tossed out, opening a series of self traps. Those who are truly interested in unearthing their hidden depths love this exercise.<br /><br />SECRET TOOLS OF AN ARTIST<br />Creativity is not just a hobby. It is a spiritual path. More like a spiritual garden. A garden that is watered with attention and shined on with energy will flower. The creative gardner who is flowing in art carries a bag full of secret tools. I am not talking of the painters canvas and oils. Those you can buy in the shops. My bag is full of attitudes. Devil may care or not, the artist is not an artist without them.<br /><br />TEACHER'S PROFILE</span><br />

from 19th March, 2016, for 4 weekends<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The Script Writing Course is divided into two parts, the Story and the Screenplay.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 1.38;">STORY</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Aim – The secret behind a good film is a well told story. All of us have many stories in our cupboard, but we don’t know how to tell them. In this section, we learn the art and the craft of writing a complete short story, which we will later transform into a script.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="line-height: 1.38;"><b>Day 1</b> : Finding your own voice / Ras. The Navrasas, our immense wealth, the source of the (so-called) masala formula.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>Day 2 </b>: An exercise to deal with the writers block.<br />
Identify your pain. And feel free to spice it, colour it or enhance it.<br />
<b>Day 3</b> : Cathartic structure of a story : Resolve the conflict, free yourself from poor Cinderella by marrying her off to Prince charming.<br />
<b>Day 4</b> : Play with suspense, surprise and humour. Convert the story into an interesting plot.<br />
<b>Day 5 </b>: Make it flow : Final touches to the story. Self Editing. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
SCREENPLAY</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
In the professional world of films, the audio visual format of the screenplay is the only way to ‘show’ your story. Your script will not be read unless it is written in the correct format.<br />
Any kind of cinema, when (re-)looked at calmly, gives away its secrets. Which is why film appreciation is such an interesting study.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>Day 1</b> : Show, do not tell : Re-learning to write Audio - Visually. Format of the Screenplay. Writing a scene. (this can take a day or two )<br />
<b>Day 2</b> : Zoom out, get a perspective. Theme, Story and Plot. Writing a one line script.<br />
<b>Day 3</b>: Characterisation, Dialogues and Scene Transitions. Analysing your favourite films/ scenes.<br />
<b>Day 4</b> : Writing a five page script, based on your own story.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
You will be given links to free scriptwriting softwares, scripts to read up, and some films which I would like you to watch before and during the sessions.<br />
The fees for this ( eight/ nine sessions of two hrs each) workshop is Rs 9,500/-</div>

Manjushree has taught at the Film and Television Institute of India, Pune, NID ( National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad), and Srishti, Bangalore.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This Weekend batch organised by Manjushree Abhinav has a great faculty, reasonable fees and a convenient location. It gives people the opportunity to learn film-making without leaving their jobs or studies.</span><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since this course deals with fiction films, we would first tap the biggest reservoir of stories : an unblocked storehouse of memories and emotions. We will also understand the structure of the conflict-resolution story, and we shall dip into the Navarasas.

Aim –<i> In the professional world of films, the audio visual format of the screenplay is the only way to 'show' your story. Your script will not be read unless it is written in the correct format. The final stage of the process is a storyboard, which is an illustration of all the shots such that the images and camera angles are clearly visualised. If you can master the art of the storyboard, your script is ready to be shot.</i></div>

She can make the most difficult topics comprehensible. She is very patient and understanding, yet strict.

Its well-designed syllabus is practical-oriented; the theory goes into developing a good understanding of the fundamentals of story-telling and filmmaking. The course requires the students to write and direct a short film, which may be used as a showreel and can also be submitted to film festivals. Films made by the previous batches have been shown at the International Film Festival of India, Goa, the most esteemed film festival in the country."</i></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"I had read quite a few books by Syd Field and Robert McKee but most of them had been written keeping in mind Hollywood movies. After attending Rajashree's workshop I got to know that Bollywood is a different ball game altogether and what works in Hollywood might not necessarily work in Bollywood, or to make it work you need to add those extra spices (masala) to make it palatable for Indian Audience. If you need to know what works in Bollywood and Tellywood (I mean television) per se, the Bollywood Structure, the Rasas etc., then you must attend her workshop." - Brijesh Bolar<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"To me, Rajashree is like the energy drink Red Bull! She motivates you to spring into action and pushes you to deliver beyond your limits. Without her encouragement, I dont think I would have been able to transform my idea into a screenplay .....And with her encouragement came the right dose of constructive criticism......Also it was a great help to share and brainstorm ideas in the presence of other students and see where your idea stands....It is a relief to see so many people sailing in the same boat as you are and trying to get better and getting there.I was actually groping in the dark when Rajashree came as a ray of hope...." - Priya Saraiya<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Those who would like to j</span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">oin us on this twelve week programme, have to commit to both, the morning pages, the artist date, and a once a week meeting in which we give and get feedback from each other.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /><b>Morning pages</b>, essentially, is a form of brain drain, in which you empty out the overactive mind. On a full scape notebook, get down three pages, in long hand. This writing is not meant for sharing, not even with yourself. It is basically a tool to get to the other side. The other side of your moods, your whining, your fears. Mostly, to the other side of the censor, the villain of the artist's life who doesn't let her be creative. Morning pages is a time tested therapy that can help you get over depression, long held grudges, fears, and so, naturally, the artists block. Although this process might be more attractive to writers, the morning pages are meant for anyone who wants to be her own shrink, heal herself, and get on with life anew.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /><b>The artist date</b>: Most of us have an artist within, an undernourished child who has been forgotten to sing.The morning pages will work only if we do something to strengthen the artist. For a couple of hours every week, we take our artist out on a date, and let her play. This date need not be expensive, you can borrow your child's crayons and fill out a blank sheet / you can learn the lyrics of your favorite song and record them as your ring tone. No request by the inner child is to be put down as unreasonable.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /><b>The weekly meetings</b> : Manjushree Abhinav, an author and a film maker, who has been working on and off on the morning pages since the last few years, will be the main facilitator for this group. On regular intervals, we will also invite artists from various fields, to interact with the participants.</span></div>

Accessing this storehouse to the pen is the first step in the unblocking of the writers block that most of us face. The healing property of art is in the ability to bring outside those buried treasure boxes. Writing gives us the opportunity to resolve those unanswered questions.

Thus stretched in opposite directions , we will find a way to tell our story.<br /><br />Day 2 :<br /><br />Writing a short story to its completion will be the goal on this day. We will understand how to merge truths and lies together to weave an interesting structure. The only way to make a story memorable is to infuse it with rich characters.

And to those who are willing to commit to a process that will be fun along the way and which aims at recovering the creative flow.</span><br />

On a full scape notebook, get down three pages, in long hand. This writing is not meant for sharing, not even with yourself. It is basically a tool to get to the other side. The other side of your moods, your whining, your fears. Mostly, to the other side of the censor, the villain of the artist's life who doesn't let her be creative. Morning pages is a time tested therapy that can help you get over depression, long held grudges, fears, and so, naturally, the artists block. Although this process might be more attractive to writers, the morning pages are meant for anyone who wants to be her own shrink, heal herself, and get on with life anew.<br /><br />The artist date: Most of us have an artist within, an undernourished child who has been forgotten to sing.The morning pages will work only if we do something to strengthen the artist. For a couple of hours every week, we take our artist out on a date, and let her play. This date need not be expensive, you can borrow your child's crayons and fill out a blank sheet / you can learn the lyrics of your favorite song and record them as your ring tone. No request by the inner child is to be put down as unreasonable.<br /><br />The weekly meetings : Once this process is understood, all it needs is implementation. Instead of a facilitator, the group can do with a moderator. Manjushree Abhinav, an author and a film maker, who has been working on and off on the morning pages since the last few years, would like to regularize her own practice with the help of this group.<br /><br />We plan to have a small group of ten people, who will meet once in a week for a couple of hours. The first meeting will happen at Raksha Bharadias (author) home, on 12th August, tuesday afternoon, from 4 pm to 6 pm. RSVP. Send a mail to manjushree.abhinav@gmail.com, with ur cell no, so that the address can be texted . Please come with a brand new full scape notebook and a pen.<br /><br /></span></div>

<br /><b>Day 1</b></div>
<div>
Break the writer’s block: A seemingly light but deeply introspective exercise to get the creative juices flowing. Our personal themes and directions are mapped.<br /><br /><b>Day 2:</b><br />Structure of the story: Understanding the conflict-resolution structure from popular mythology and analysing how it travels into present day cinema and literature. Our own structures are formed.<br /><br /><b>Day 3:</b><br />Navrasas: To make our structures flow, we dip into the writers treasure box and base of all literature: the navrasas. The first draft of our story emerges.<br /><br /><b>Day 4:</b><br />The final touch: Fleshing out the stories , working with characters and dialogues, in the short story format or as a script outline. We also practice reading aloud effectively.<br /><br /><b>Community & conversations</b><br />Learn alongside people who are aspiring to develop their voices and sharpen their imagination. Converse over informal sessions or connect over our web interface. Introspections are often smoothened out by group energies, thereby facilitating understanding. Friendships which emerge in this process often lead to long-term collaboration and support. These are as valuable for a young creative practitioner as talent and skill.<br /><br /><b>Creative sparks & fulfilment</b><br />Where do stories start? How do creative journeys begin? The life of the dream-merchant is not just to begin but to continue constantly with energy and passion. We help students with feedback and triggers that help you question yourself and move forward in your struggle.<br />Fulfilment is a natural by-product of creative practice. The subtle balance between self confidence and humility sweetens the fruit of the experience.<br /><br /><b>Discovery & nurturing</b><br />Who are you? Are you an amalgamation of your ancestors ? Or is there something else that dropped down from the stars when you were born? It is this ‘something else’ that we will look for. An inner discovery can be a powerful motivator to walk the path. And when a toddler takes her first steps, all she needs is a ‘proud to see her walk’ parent, rather than a critic who judges and compares her to a professional walker.<br /><br />We have maximum nine seats in this batch, so register asap.Call +91 98254 76446 or mail manjushree.abhinav@gmail.com.</div>
