this is how burners refer to the normal world back from bm . there is a general distaste for the default world on the playa , but a lot of burners have it right by attempting to bring the spirit of burning man back with them . i think this term only further solidifies the polarity of the two environments . burning man doesn’t have to end if you keep that energy flowing .

burning man has managed to construct a rather oddly enthusiastic culture of giving . the city functions on a gift economy , where both money and bartering are fiercely discouraged . instead , everyone is expected to take joy by gifting something for free : art , food , or an experience .
bosses have also been told :
i am hallucinating
,
i am stuck in my house because the door ' s broken
and
my new girlfriend bit me in a delicate place
.
thank you ! i am recently divorced and my ex knows what buttons to push to try to anger me . i know i am giving away my power if i let him , however i got so mad today i couldn ' t let it go ! your article helped remind me .
this . the reason i love my burner friends and any burn is partly because of how respectful and thoughtful they are . however , there can be some rather creepy / sleazy behavior at burning man , just like anywhere else ( all you need is a ticket after all ) ; respect for the event and for others is key .
“we’re pro - family , ” burning man founder , larry harvey , tells the ferenstein wire . harvey brought his own son to the very first event in 1986 and chooses not to charge tickets for children under 12 because he believes “a culture isn’t authentic unless it’s multi - generational . ”
burning man is the playground of silicon valley’s most venerable companies . from google to tesla , engineers see a temporary city of creatives as an ideal place to test the limits of innovation . google’s co - founders reportedly hired their chairman , eric schmidt , because he was a loyal burner .
rachel deakin from tyldesley in greater manchester posted a message on facebook after her six - month - old daughter autumn “instantly started screaming and gagging” after taking some of the medicine .
so much for caveats . here are the two steps—call them my “double - r technique for anger control” :
hey , i ' m the creator of highexistence . i love inspiring others to follow their bliss , which in turn fulfills my own . i also write on my personal blog and run a company that sells crazy shirts and rave clothing : )
even something as innocuous - seeming as the crowd - favorite documentary taking my parents to burning man becomes a reflective exercise in creativity - shunned , where the only answer to rampant corporate greed and the monotony of the ‘9 to 5’ is to regress back to a constant state of adolescence . things don’t seem much better across the ocean either . venezuelan picture my straight son focuses on the intolerance and homophobia at root there , while the swiss - french entry longwave takes aim at the growing wealth inequalities of the world . it’s not all doom and gloom though . there are quite a number of ‘food - related’ narrative films ( jadoo , tasting menu , love and lemons ) – all of which illustrate the familial bonding effects of sharing / making a meal together , suggesting that no matter how bad it may get — you can always count on your ma ( or pa ) to cook you ‘your favorite’ . home truly is where the heart is .
dear prudence , my partner and i recently got engaged and have begun the wedding planning . while we both agree that we would prefer a low - key , inexpensive event , some amount of money is still going to be spent , and we are having trouble raising the funds on our own . i know that it is typical for the father of the bride to pay for the majority of the expenses , but being that there is no bride , this makes things more difficult . my fiancé’s parents are well off and very supportive , but my own parents , especially my father , are not as well off . my question is : how do i go about asking either parent for financial support for this wedding ? if i want this wedding to go the way i ' d like , i need some type of financial aid . gay marriage is fairly new , so there doesn ' t seem to be any precedent set for this .
why ? because these children are on a scientific exploration . the black rock scouts , burning man’s own ( less christian ) version of the cub scouts , roam the 5 - mile campus earning badges in astronomy , sharing , and artistic expression .
fortunately , autumn is ok as she didn’t swallow much of the medicine , but deakin found similar complaints from other parents on nurofen’s facebook page .
exposing your kids to different experiences , cultures and art has always been a top priority . feel the same ? then think outside the box for your next adventure . burning man—the annual gathering in nevada’s black rock desert happening august 27 - september 4—is a great opportunity to expose your kids to nature , creativity , culture and self - expression .
yep ,
boesen introduces ,
the same parents that put me through 13 years of catholic school and a decade of jesus camp .
. . . wait . um . thrift stores , decorating bicycles , and building art installations ? yep , welcome to the difficult definition of burning man . knowing what happens there and what you ' d do there if you were to go has everything to do with the weird crap you buy / build / repurpose and decorate before you go .

is my notion of this person’s being unfair to me more a reflection of my self - interested bias than the other person’s trying to take advantage of me ? are their interests or concerns maybe just as important , and legitimate , to them as mine are to me [ i . e . , do all you can to challenge your possible self - righteousness in the matter ] ?
yes , you’re reading this right . burning man , a 10 - day interactive arts festival better known for outlandish partying and silicon valley billionaires , is a family destination for many long - time participants , who plan a vacation to black rock city , just as any joe - american plans a trip to disney world .
“i’m an adult , ” he says . “i paid for it with my own money . money i earned . ”
and this is when i realise that all my endless self - examination was completely pointless . what i think , or don’t think , about tattoos is irrelevant . because this is the point . tattoos are fashionable . they may even be beautiful . ( just because i hate them doesn’t mean i’m right . ) but by deciding to have a tattoo , my son took a meat cleaver to my apron strings . he may not have wanted to hurt me . i hope he didn’t . but my feelings , as he made his decision , were completely unimportant .
i have a severe anger problem which i believe it is do to what i have gone through in my life and possibly genetic . until i receive an inner healing from my god , i will be fighting this inner anger until it ' s time for me to go home . be blessed to all who reads this .

nudity is extremely prevalent on the playa , both male and female alike . it’s a bit shocking for the first day until you become desensitized to what our society has transformed into something hyper - sexual . being that i am a man from western society , my reaction over the week changed from sexually charged to a simple observation of beauty .

dear prudence , i ' ve been dating a kind , sensitive , wonderful man for about a year . three months ago , i unexpectedly became pregnant , despite meticulously using several forms of birth control . while i may be open to the idea of having children someday , i was recently unemployed , about to lose my apartment , and not in the right place to bring another life into the world . i had an abortion . i ' m confident my decision was the right one , but i ' m afraid it will destroy my relationship . my boyfriend lost his own father to a tragic accident at a young age and was raised by a horrible single mother . she abused and berated him , convincing him it was somehow his fault his father had died . amazingly , he’s grown into a healthy , well - adjusted young man . however , as an only child , passing on his father ' s genes and breaking the cycle of abusive parenting are very important to my boyfriend . it would devastate him to know i robbed him of that opportunity . should i tell him about the abortion ? i feel like he deserves to know , but i can ' t imagine breaking his heart that way . how do i live with the guilt ?

she plays a leading role in her first telugu film oohalu gusa gusa lade ( directed by avasarala srinivas ) that releases this friday , june 20 .
we almost thought of 40 - 50 titles to get the aptly suitable title for the film . one fine day while i was listening to an old song ‘oohalu gusagusalaade……’ from the film ‘bandipotu’ , i felt that the first line got connected to the story . that’s how i selected the title ‘oohalu gusagusalaade’ .
now , venkat’s cinematography in oohalu gusagusalade is being lauded for befitting the narrative and not trying to rise above what’s being demanded by the script . this is his first telugu film and venkat feels he has come full circle . “i was born in guntur and did mechanical engineering from chennai , before moving to the us , ” he says .

, ntr posted in his microblogging page .
now yet another actor has wielded the mega phone for the first time to direct a film . he is srinivas avasarala , who has proved himself as an actor with the films ' ashta chamma ' , ' pilla zamindar ' etc . he is coming up with the film , ' oohalu gusagusalade ' , which is touted to be a beautiful romantic entertainer .
but let us warn you that the kind of humour in oohalu gusagusalade and slow narration may not be everyone’s idea of a romantic film . however , those who like slow - paced romantic entertainers and intelligent comedy are bound to enjoy the film . also , the film’s length should have been cut short and the director should have taken care to give equal prominence to supporting cast .
‘oohalu gusa gusa laade ‘ is a romantic comedy that will make for a great weekend watch with its good entertainment levels . this is a film that will do well in multiplex areas .
the movie is releasing in over 200 theatres all over the world . director srini avasarala and the lead pair naga shaurya and rashi khanna are very happy with the interest being shown by big budgeted films producer sai korrapati regarding the publicity of a small film like ' oohalu gusagusalade ' . they have also wished sai korrapati , who is celebrating birthday today ( 19 . 06 . 14 ) , a very happy birthday .
a common friend , bala rajasekhar , sent venkat’s work to srinivas avasarala and he got to work on oohalu gusagusalade . “looking back , i feel grateful for the faith srinivas avasarala and producer sai korrapati had in a debutant like me , ” he says . shooting a film with limited budget had its challenges . “coming from a film school , i love challenges . the prospect of having to work around limitations triggers creativity , ” he adds .
varahi chalana chitram has produced the romantic film oohalu gusa gusa laade . the movie has released across the world and srinivas avasarala is making his debut as a director . let us see how this movie is now .
the film has completed all the formalities including the censor work and is ready for a release on june 20th . talking about the film , sai korrapati says
srinivas avasarala has filmed ' oohalu gusagusalade ' very well . the songs composed by kalyani koduri have attracted both the youth and the family audiences . our film has got a clean u certificate and will be released on june 20th . we hope that this film will become another good hit in our banner
.
naga shaurya is the lead actor and raashi khanna of ' madras cafe ' and ' manam ' fame is the lead actress in this film . sai korrapati , the producer of big films like ' eega ' and ' legend ' , has produced this film on vaaraahi chalana chitram banner . this film will be hitting the screens on may 20th and hope ' oohalu gusagusalade ' turns out to be a big hit for srinivas avasarala and he makes his mark as a director .
but avasarala’s performance and impressive lead pair more than make up for these shortcomings . the director also manages to pull off the love track between the lead pair successfully . he proves that he can deftly handle other emotions apart from comedy . of course , he does fail to fill in some gaps especially towards the climax . had he taken care of them , he would have been a complete success in his very first attempt . in all , oohalu gusagusalade will attract class audiences who prefer subtle romantic comedies .
the story of ‘oohalu gusagusalaade’ revolves around a guy who aspires to become a news anchor and how changes occur in his life with a girl’s entry . it’s a complete romantic comedy film . posani and prithvi’s characters will catch audience’s attention .
i prepared the script of ‘oohalu gusagusalaade’ with the intention to direct the film by myself and approached several producers with it . all like the script but had their own reasons for not making the film . at one point of time , few producers even planned to make the film with my script and other directors . but finally , my script went into the hands of sai korrapati garu . kalyani koduri introduced me to him and that’s how i got the opportunity to direct ‘oohalu gusagusalaade’ .
what is “oohalu gusagusalade” about ? after going through numerous marriage proposals uday bhaskar ( srinivas avasarala ) finally likes a girl immensely and wants to marry her at any way possible . but his ways to win over the girl forms a bad opinion in her mind . sirisha ( rashee khanna ) agrees to marry him only if she finds someone even worse than him in behavior . uday sets up venki ( naga shourya ) to be that person . what happens in the end is what the film showcases in a very classy manner with lots of comic situations in second half .
of late many actors , actresses and directors are making their debut in tollywood with small films . ' oohalu gusa gusa lade’ is one such film with the director srinivasa rao avasarala and the lead pair naga shourya and raashi khanna making their debut with the film .
after a good reception from audience within india and from the us , avasarala took to facebook and shared his views on the script and characters in the play . he was deeply thrilled when people asked why he chose nara rohith in the movie . “i think nara rohith fits the part perfectly . i was looking for someone who could act as an elder brother and he did a great job for me . i am really happy with the response . naga shourya is also a wonderful actor and in this movie he expressed his emotions with much more intensity than in oohalu gusagusalade , ” said avasarala .
oohalu has opened new doors in the telugu film industry but venkat is looking forward to return to the us . “i want to work on both international projects and telugu films . it will be tough , but i hope i will be able to work in both countries , ” he signs off .
a self - confessed woody allen fan , srinivas avasarala went all out to indicate that his directorial debut , oohalu gusagusalade , will have allen’s influences with the first still where the principal characters stand against a poster of annie hall . as the film unfolds , the references get pronounced . in the initial scenes , characters express themselves to the audience , with a little help from a voiceover . midway into the film , we see avasarala in his library where books on woody allen figure prominently . but for most part of the film , avasarala moves away from these obvious references and soaks in the story he wants to narrate . when he gets down to doing that , he reveals fine writing skills that blend smart humour into the narrative , and his ability to execute a good script getting enough support from actors , the technical team and the composer .
srinivas avasarala , has put an impression on the audience’s minds by showing great ease in his performance in ‘ashta chemma’ . later he worked for few films as an actor and writer as well before he turned director for this romantic comedy ‘oohalu gusagusalaade’ . sai korrapati of ‘eega’ and ‘andala rakshasi’ fame , who has passion for small films with good content , encouraged this young talent to bring out his directorial skills . introducing naga shourya as hero and rashi khanna of ‘madras café’ as heroine , srinivas avasarala made his directorial debut with ‘oohalu gusagusalaade’ under sai korrapati production banner with rajani korrapati as producer and sai sivani as its presenter . the film has hit theaters today ( june 20 , 2014 ) across two states andhra pradesh and telangana and at overseas in over 200 theaters . on this occasion , an interview has been given by actor cum director srinivas avasarala . here are few excerpts from his interview .
uday babu is a channel owner . ub ( avasarala srinivas ) an aged bachelor likes prabhavati sireesha ( rasi khanna ) . he decides to marry her only . he tries to impress in several ways . but fails to work out . venkateswarlu ( naga sourya ) is his employee . his ambition is to become a news reader and a very tactfully flirts girls . uday wants to use venkat and his ideas to trap prabhavati . uday plans a plot to send venky for first looks ( pelli choopulu ) and tries to thinks of convincing sirisha to reject him so that ub’s line would be clear . uday offers a news reader post if sirisha marries him . in a can’t but situation venky accepts and goes to the first look meet . venky discovers that sirisha is none other than the girl whom she loved two years ago in vizag . why sirisha and venky separated ? will he sacrifice his news reader post for love ? will he ensure success of his boss ? the answer to these question is oohalu gusagusalade . .
this year , i watched more films than ever before ( over 65 if i’m showing off ) and enjoyed every second of pouring over their details , scrutinising and analysing them and their merits , and just generally being a nerd . i did have a full list of ten ( it included haider , jigarthanda and dedh ishqiya if you were wondering ) but i had nothing to say about them . they were perfect , solid , inventively sculpted pieces of cinema . i agreed with their aesthetics and politics . but it’s really hard for me to say what makes them so great . they just…are ! so the films in this list are simply the most interesting ; the films which are perhaps not always perfect , but could not have been made in any other way , for any other audience , in any other language or cultural climate . they are works that have surprised me , will continue to surprise me , and that i’m sure will prove to be of great cultural importance to the industries they were produced in . i hope that all makes sense ! so here we go : 7 . oohalu gusagusalade

venkateshwar rao or venky ( naga shourya ) has a way with words . he strikes conversations with ease , has many young women as friends at his workplace and dreams of being a newsreader of repute like his father but is stuck with tele - advertising , peddling one product after another . his boss uday ( srinivas avasarala ) has no intention of letting him be a newsreader . despite being well read and suave , uday is at best clumsy when it comes to women and can put no amount of textbook gyaan to practice . uday needs venky’s help to help him woo a potential bride his family zeroes in on through a marriage broker .
as much as avasarala lets his lead characters bloom , he doesn’t ignore the small characters . there’s the dhobi who slyly notes down the phone number rashi scribbles on a dirty car glass ; there’s a supportive mother who nudges naga shourya to listen to his heart and there’s the father who hardly speaks a word , limited by his paralysis , and shows a flicker of hope on seeing his son play act a news - reading session .
humour prevents the later portions from getting boring and predictable . the tussle between a man who , despite all the hand - holding , can make a mess of expressing his love and the man who knows to charm his woman but is restricted by circumstances makes for an engaging watch .
both naga shourya and rashi khanna match up to avasarala and prove they are actors with potential . kalyani malik’s melodies and background score are an asset .
you can update your channel preference from the settings menu in the header menu .
many actors have turned directors in the past after making some successful films , but only a few are successful . in the recent past , vennela kishore had tried his luck at direction , but he was not successful . now he is back to acting . even veteran actors like m . s . narayana have not tasted success in direction .
sai korrapati , the producer of films like ' eega ' and ' legend ' , has produced this film on vaaraahi chalan chitram banner . the songs composed by kalyani koduri were released recently and got a good response .
naga shaurya was ���on the verge of calling it quits��� when varahi chalana chitram banner issued a casting call for young actors . ���having waited for over four - and - a - half years to get that elusive break , i was beginning to have second thoughts about continuing in showbiz , ��� recalls shaurya , who decided to take one last crack at being an actor and went for the auditions , where he was asked to do a comedy scene by director avasarala srinivas .
���i was very nervous because he ( avasarala ) is such a fine actor , ��� admits shaurya who managed to convince the filmmakers that he had it in him to be a solo lead . ���when i look back , it feels unreal , ��� says the actor who made his onscreen debut with chandamama kathalu recently . he is now playing the lead in the romantic comedy ,
. shaurya is paired opposite raashi khanna in the movie ���it���s a clean romantic entertainer that will ring a smile to people���s faces .
the romance will be heartwarming and will connect with the audiences of all age groups , ��� says shaurya , who is playing a guy called venky in the movie set in hyderabad and vizag . ���the film explores how the idea of being in love changes from late teens to the mid - twenties . i play an engineering graduate who falls in love with prabhavati ( raashi ) . how the love story twists and turns until i get a job is the crux of the plot , ��� the actor informs .
apparently , director srinivas avasarala plays naga shaurya���s overbearing boss in the movie . ���the episodes between me and avasarala are going to be the most hilarious ones in the movie , ��� says the actor .

around 2000 applications have come for the casting call ad which we gave for the film . naga shourya’s photos caught my attention . i was also impressed with his show reel and okayed him instantly . similarly rasi khanna’s performance in ‘madras café’ was pleasing . so i approached her and signed for the film . she played a tricky role in the film . i’m very happy with the casting of this film . both perfectly suited for the lead characters and showed great ease in acting . they did cent percent justice to their roles .
yes , you heard it right . i played the ceo of a tv channel . producer sai never encouraged me to do any role and suggested me to focus completely on direction . but i managed to shoot few scenes in two days in his absence . later he couldn’t deny it after watching the rushes .
i worked as an actor and writer for few films . and for the first time i directed a film . i prepared three pucca scripts and choose to do this film first because it’s a safe bet for the producer . i still have two scripts in hand . on the other hand , i got bored with comedy and romantic roles . i aim to do variety roles and wish to be part of a good film . so i neither want to settle down completely as a director or an actor .
yes , kalyani’s music is an asset to the film . he composed beautiful songs . response was fabulous for all songs .
sai korrapati’s production values and aggressive publicity have helped your film to reach theaters fast .
i’ve signed yet another film for producer sai korrapati garu . film with naga chiatanya has not yet been finalized . i’ve decided not to take any hasty decision and step forward with proper planning . on the other hand , i’m playing a role in gopichand’s film which is being made under uv creations banner . i’m also doing a character in allari naresh’s ‘bandipotu’ .
debut cinematographer venkat c . dilip feels honing his skills in the us helped him take a new look at cinema
venkat c . dilip submitted his thesis as part of his course in cinematography only to be told by the professor that his work was overshadowing the film instead of seamlessly blending with it . venkat made the necessary changes and re - submitted his thesis . he remembered this lesson when he stepped out of film school to work as a camera assistant for hollywood projects like savannah and crackerjack and short films such as passing through traveling down and the visions of dylan bradley . “i observed that the work of many cinematographers tends to dominate a project and didn’t want to do that , ” he says .
like many youngsters aspiring to learn the basics of filmmaking , venkat too decided to train to be a director . but rather than taking up courses for script writing and direction , he was drawn to cinematography . “the course also taught me editing , which is essential to be a filmmaker , ” he says .
during the three - year masters programme at savannah college of arts and design , he got to intern on the sets of robert redford’s the conspirator . “i was the only asian on the sets . from guntur to training with robert redford’s unit , it was a big shift . my father had egged me on to go to the us . i am so glad he did ; my learning and work experience there changed my thought process . i learnt to look at a film differently , ” he says . venkat’s parents are film buffs and academicians now working in swaziland .
the portions between rashi khanna and naga shourya in vizag have drawn attention . “the vizag locales were refreshing . i wanted this portion of the film to look beautiful , yet not artificial , ” he says . appreciation had been coming in from his ilk as well . “senthil kumar appreciated the beach song for its colours and texture and p . g vinda liked the night photography . that was a bit tricky ; we had limited lights and had to make the scenes appear natural , ” says venkat .

story n venkateswara rao ( naga shourya ) is an youngster whose ambition is to become a famous tv newsreader just like his bedridden father . he works in a tv studio that is owned by uday ( srinivas avasarala ) . uday is a socially awkward guy and is bad at communicating with women . venkateswara rao falls in love with prabhavathi ( rashi khanna ) few years back when he visits a relative in vizag . they break - up because of a misunderstanding . the rest of the story is all about what happens when uday wants to impress upon prabhavathi .
actors : naga shourya looks sweet and lovable despite having a body language that suits aggressive characterization . for a first timer , he does a decent job . rashi khanna is impressive with her looks as well as performance . she has a pleasant screen presence . srinivas avasarala has got very good scenes in the second half and he excels with extempore performance . he reminded me of bill murry ( especially in lost in translation ) when it comes to facial expressions in close - up shots in second half . music director kalyann koduri has done a cameo of a black ticket seller and he exudes confidence . all others are appropriately cast and has performed well .
story - screenplay - direction : the story penned by srinivas avasarala is interesting . he gave a different treatment to the plot . it’s a plain and simple narration with loads of dialogues . it’s a kind of plot that also works for theater ( plays ) as it has limited characters and limited locations . srini has his own style of tongue - in - cheek classy humor and he implemented the same for the characters in this movie . it worked very well for the scenes he is involved in the film as an actor . for other actors , it partly worked . the screenplay of the film is very convenient . for example , when the director want to break the pair off he made hero talk about heroine’s character ( bad influence of delhi culture and warring parents ) . there are a few flaws in the story which should have been ironed before going to the shoot . the hero of the film is made spineless in the second half as he blindly helps srini avasarala by sacrificing his own love .
other departments : songs composed by kalyann koduri are melodious . there are only four songs . background music is different . srinivas avasarala has excelled as a dialogue writer . cinematography by venkat c dilip is alright . art direction of ravinder deserves a mention . editing by kiran ganti should be more crisp . producer sai korrapati deserves a pat on his back for trusting the director who tried making a film that doesn’t follow the current ‘entertainment format’ . he has also promoted the film aggressively and brought a lot of visibility .
an impressive beginning while establishing the main characters is very important for any film . but the way characters are introduced in this film is lacklustre . however , the momentum picks up with a beautifully narrated flashback episode . second half should have been balanced among three characters with a nice play among them . the positive points of the film are tasteful dialogues and music . on the flipside , snail - paced narration and uninteresting screenplay hampers the movie . on a whole , it’s a good attempt to provide a clean and healthy film . we have to wait and see how crowds embrace the movie .

sai korrapati of ‘eega’ fame has produced the film and srinivasa avasarala , known for acting , has turned to direction with this film .
a simple and cute love story with loads of entertainment awaits the audience . venkateswara rao or venky ( naga shourya ) is a television anchor and his ambition is to become a good news reader . but his boss uday bhaskar ( avasarala srinivas ) does not give him the opportunity to do so . venky ends up anchoring tele - marketing ads . uday bhaskar sees a girl sridevi ( raashi khanna ) and wants to marry her . awkward in the presence of girls , uday seeks venky’s help to talk to sridevi . initially reluctant to help his boss , venky agrees when uday promises him a promotion as a newsreader . venky meets sridevi and realizes that she is none other than his ex - girlfriend prabhavathi . a flashback sequence shows how he fell in love with prabhavathi when in vizag for a vacation . a triangular story from here onwards , the film shows how venky sorts the tangled relationships .
avasarala srinivasa rao has to be appreciated for wearing many hatssuccessfully . apart from direction , he has also given a good performance as an actor . the scenes where avasarala impresses sridevi at the hotel and at the house are hilarious . avasarala has also written the screenplay and penned impressive and witty dialogues . the lead pair , naga shourya and raashi khanna , in their debut appearance , have done excellent work . naga shourya is perfect for the role of venky ; he looks fresh and has performed with ease . he has proved that there is bundle of local talent in addition to the star kids .
raashi khanna is definitely a good find for telugu cinema . she is very impressive with her performance and has done her homework well . she has a bright future ahead . rao ramesh puts in a brief appearance , but his present is felt in the film .
technically also the film is good with some beautiful locales captured by the cinematographer venkat . the songs are lovely with music by kalyani koduri and excellent picturisation . theclimax scene and the comedy routines fall a bit flat , still this breezy romantic entertainer is breath of fresh air . after watching all the regular masala action films , you can watch this film for its clean comedy sans double meaning dialogues .
directed by avasarla srinivas , this film had naga shourya in the lead roles . we caught with this talented actor for a brief chit chat . let’s see what he has to say .
a ) i was sick and tired or being a struggler , and when i almost decided to give up , i saw the casting call and applied for this role . after a huge round of auditions , i was finally selected for this role . though i signed this film first , chandamama kathalu released first .
a ) as i have already told you , i have been auditioning from the past five years . i have lost the camera fear , and found it very easy when we went on sets . i also did a 20 day work shop with the other star which helped me do my role .
