Prarambha (The Beginning) Prarambha (The Beginning), directed by renowned cinematographer and director Santosh Sivan, features the South Indian Superstar Prabhudeva as a truck driver who discovers a little boy in the back of his van. The boy is on a journey to find his mother, who left him upon discovering that she was HIV positive. Prarambha is one of four short dramatic films by cutting-edge Indian directors Mira Nair, Vishal Bhardwaj, Santosh Sivan and Farhan Akhtar that aim to dismantle myths and misconceptions about HIV/AIDS.
I don’t understand this emptiness! __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ 17 Nov of 1988 won’t have anything to do with you; but for me that day was important, because I landed on earth that day! I don’t remember anything of that moment (of course no one would!). But one thing I know, from then to the age of 16 I have known no pain nor did I think of life seriously (thanks to my dad and mom! For the no pain part!). Then things changed, I started understanding life…not the whole life…philosophically speaking; I thought like some Greek philosophers. What am I doing here?!! Who holds the remote control of my life?!! And the questions came like the bullets from an AK47 on trigger! And it drove me through a few 100 books and there I was changed! Never in my life have I felt emptiness after that. Don’t know if I was a good writer but I wrote, don’t know if I was a good speaker but I have spoken to different crowds
