an answer..

ummmm...

The long break that i had from blogging led me to ask myself a question that someone had asked me a loooong time ago when i had just started blogging... "why the name -'a free tree standing' ? "

hmmm.. my motivation to blog had been some events that were unfolding around me in my life at that point of time. I was certainly feeling enthusiastic just like any beginner and at the same time, besides the zeal of a newbie, I was driven by a distinct sense of freedom (or a fighting urge for it). I was riding on waves of transformation and each ripple hitting the shores of my intellectual continent (its smaller than the smallest island, i must own up :P) infused fresh lease of life to the need for happyness acheived through freedom. I wanted to announce that my trust in what i believe is deep-rooted like a centuries old tree. Hence, I came up with this name.

Anyways, after this gap that seems like a decade to me, am getting back to blogging and this new season I believe(atleast for the time being) will be exploring some elements of human nature and behaviour that I will be looking at, standing on the shoulders of some great film makers. Indeed cinema is not life. I believe it's much bigger. An attempt by some people who think differently, at drawing up a picture out of the scars and lines that they endured through a period of search for answers and more questions , a quest that we call life.
