The pressures of live TV


For the first time, I had a taste of a live TV Debate, thanks to Baddy. Since it was on Superstar, I jumped at the invite, totally clueless about how it all works.

If you’ve been on Live TV, you would’ve got used to the audio-video time lag – the monitor in front of you is playing visuals corresponding to 3-5 seconds earlier but the audio you hear is live… So if you’re a first timer like I was, you’re gonna have a tough time concentrating.

Part of the confusion was I had no clue when I was on air and when I wasn’t because I kept getting cut off and though the host was nice enough to let me continue what I was saying, I had no clue which part of my quote was already aired and what wasn’t.

So there I am, all nervous!

You can access the entire debate here.


That Four Letter Word blog updated!

It’s been due for a really long time and I managed to compile all TFLW related posts from the personal blog and export them to the official blog. The reason I had made those posts here was because this, being the main blog, always gets better readership. It’s gonna complete 4 lakh hits in about three years and I didn’t half imagine I was capable of maintaining one blog and here I have four.

Hopefully, the updated That Four Letter Word blog will facilitate easy reference and smoother navigation.

I’ve also added some pictures and video clips and a coupla new entries (like the speech I prepared but never delivered on the D-Day) to take you through the entire journey of the film from as far as I can remember.

I’m not sure if any movie blog has had as many entries as TFLW… Can anyone beat 79? Lol!

If I had the resources, I would’ve printed it as a book and given a copy to all cast, crew, volunteers and friends who have been responsible for this miracle – a triumph for independent cinema.

But since, I don’t yet have the money needed for that, here’s the e-book equivalent: The blog.
