Are you intimidated by the idea of being average??

A great way to love a life less ordinary is to tap the extraordinary within you. An overriding fear that afflicts most of us is the fear of being average.To score 'average' in any test or to be called 'one of the crowd' is anathema to our veru being.Nobody wants to be an "also was..." and most of our struggles are directed towardsproviding how different we are from others.

The internet hasmany bloggers expressing this fear that everyone wants to be extraordinary.Nobody wants to live an ordinary life and die unsung.One blogger says he doesn't want to "blend into the crowd; not be a person people meet & immediately forget"...

Another puts its more graphically,"living the average life everyone else does- fucking thr same girl for the rest of your life,having kids,getting married,9-5 job,sitting at home in front of the TV,getting fat,doing the same fuck week-in-week-out.Are you ok with slipping into that category & settling with it??"

And yet how different can one be? As my my brother Tushar asked a couple of days ago,

"Resolute,why is everybody's life the same? we are all born,learn to talk/walk,go to school,college,get a job,raise a family,and then die....???"

my first instinct was to give him the spiel about those who leave 'footprints on the sands of time',but then I havn't really understood how it would help a person stay memorable after he is dead and gone.And if you believe in reincarnation,can you not visualize a acenario where a great historical figure is reborn as an 'average' man and forced to read up about himself and memorise the dates he made noteworthy in his past birth! Waht value is his having been 'above average' or different'?

SO WHAT'S THE SOLUTION ..

I'LL TELL U NEXT TIME

break the shells of non-sense assumptions&beliefs that you holds around your Supercomputer(YOUR BHEJA!!)

DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THIS AND THAT !!!


The INTERNET era has changed the entire world of audio recording.don't complain that you dont have a condensor microphone,a mixer or a pro quality hi-fi audio recording setup.things are way better off now.if you compare the scenario of a decade ago you will notice many massive changes in the world around u! think for a moment..back at that time the computers were very very expensive and slow..the recording softwares was available but you had to spend lots of money to get something that was stable and recorded more than a handfull tracks...and also this software required the best in-computer hardware to support it!
that means at that time if u are a common teenager who wants to be a singer and rock the world and record something..firstly you need to have lakhs and lakhs of money!!!
isn't this thought sounds terrible?? and don't tell me that you are not feeling like the most fortunate member of HUMAN CIVILIZATION just becauz you are alive on the planet earth when our CIVILIZATION is at the apex of technological advancement!!! (or just becauz u have INTERNET,android phones,social network,whatsapp and all this freaking stuffs entering in this crazy world!!!)
i mean just look at the situation then and now!!! will u dare to go back in time in some freaking "TIME MACHINE" and live there back in GOOD-OLD time,in 80's or 90's when there wasn't even a TV set that everyone can afford,then forget about the Cameras,computers,audio recording thing and filmmaking!!! (I still can't or won't DARE to imagine MYSELF there without my high speed INTERNET connection!!!!!)
And now come back in 2014.....hmmmm..things look much much more massively,fantastically,incredibely..awesomesly(is there any word like that?!?) freakingly different!
Now you can even freakingly record anything with something as basic as a laptop and a cheap headphone/internal microphone,download some free source editing software,take some free tutorials online(EPIC YOUTUBE&GOOGLE ROCKSS!!) and you will be in same quality bracket as u would have been a decade ago with tons of investment!! I mean! u can actually have a running start in getting good at recording with even your MOBILE VOICE RECORDER or lappy internal mic!! Awesome Eh!
the point here i wanna make is...we are living in the most prosperous phase of the earth(technologically!!) so u don't need much things,to show the world your talents and you can start working as soon as you stops excusing for the things like I DON'T HAVE STUDIO INSTRUMENTS,PRO MICS,PRE-AMPS,MIXERS,EXPENSIVE SETUP and blah... blah...
creativity is not slave of money my friend! you can grab a camcorder you have,actually shoot some short film,music video,Edit it,promote it online and the whole world can see your work! Isn't its great??
the film is the most powerfull medium that you can influence the people with.You can point your camera to anything and show to the world your perspective behind the lense!!
so if you have not started yet,I suggest take a new look around yourself,think what you can do with whatever you have...even your iphone(or anyPHONE!!) will do the work.
Capture the sounds,take snaps,play around the device you have and get better at the filmaking,audio and other stuffs day-by-day and you'll know
definately the exact instance when you need an upgrade to the MASSIVE things like DSLR's and other freakingly awesome stuffs!!!
HAPPY FILMMAKING :)
-Resolute Akash(Independant filmmaker)
(NOTE: YOU CAN OFFICIALLY START CALLING YOURSELF A FILMMAKER ONCE YOU ARE SHOT EVEN A SINGLE VIDEO WITH YOUR OWN IMAGINATION AND THE CREATIVE INVOLVEMENT OF YOU MIND IN THAT PARTICULAR WORK!!! isn't thats cool?? I got literaly freakingly overwhelmed when i actually realized it! )

THE ROMANTICA- RESOLUTE'S DEBUT MUSIC ALBUM

THE ROMANTICA-Debut Music Album

A story associated with ROMANTICA:-During my initial phases of engineering I've got an strong urge to follow my passion,i.e. Singing,Filmmaking,editing...So I've composed,written,recorded and edited several songs on my own..(THANKS TO MY GREATEST GURU's EVER..THE EPIC GOOGLE & YOUTUBE!!!).It is my first music album which contains SIX TRACKS.All of them are of romantic (r&b) genre.

AS I said,These songs are composed by me when I was in the 2nd year of my engineering degree course...(which I am still persuing!!).The songs are released digitally on all platforms on INTERNET and are well-received and appreciated by all the audience.The songs are available FOR FREE DOWNLOAD on the Reverbnation.com/resoluteakash and several other sites,LINKS for which are given in my RESOLUTE'S MUSIC section.

(NOTE: ALL SONGS IN THIS ALBUM ARE RECORDED IN VERY LOW GRADE MICROPHONE,SOMETIMES IN BATHROOM AND I'VE COMPLETED THE ALBUM IN A SMALL ROOM AT MY PLACE ON MY DIY SELF-ESTABLISHED HOME RECORDING SETUP!!!

SO DONT EXPECT THE QUALITY HERE! I KNOW I HAVE TO IMPROVE ALOT!

BUT THE POINT HERE I WANNA MAKE IS,,YOU DONT HAVE VERY BIG BUDGET...Dammn!! WHO CAREZZ..JUST BRING OUT UR TALENT WITH WHATEVER YOU GOT! REMEMBER ONE THING..ITS NOT ABOUT THE EXPENSIVE INSTRUMENTS..ITS ABOUT THE TALENT & THE BURNING DESIRE YOU HAVE INSIDE YOUR MIND TO SHAKE THE MOUNTAINS AND DRINK THE OCEANS!!!)
