Graduation complete ayyaka job vachina sarey naku Interest leka intlo cheppeddam ani fix ayyi na decision bhayam thoney cheppesa. Rendu rojulu nanna aayana decision naku cheppaledhu, ee rendu rojulu Amma nannu tiduthuney undhi. "Bangaram lanti job vadilesav vedhava" ani. After two days Amma nanna iddaru vachi "ma life lo memu Chala sadhinchali anukunnam, kontha varakey sadhinchagaligam. Nu em kavalantey adhi sadhinchara, mammalni gelipinchu chalu" annaru. Aa matalu naku inka gurthunnay.

Alaney naku cinema meedha gouravam inka perigindhi.
Ee 3 years lo Pani nerchukovadam tho patu Chala humiliations kuda face chesanu but aa humiliations nannu eppudu let down cheyyaledhu. Industry antha bavundhi, manchi cinema Lu vasthunnay, audience kotha Katha Lu accept chesthunnaru, nenu inka Kotha Katha lu rayali aney Kasi naku inka perigipoyindhi and adhey Pani lo unnanu kuda.

But endhuku andharu cinema Industry ne point chesthunnaru?

Nenu verey Dari leka cinemalloki raledhu, it's my creative abilities and my choice which lead me till here and I will make you people proud soon" ani. Vallu nammutharu nannu, naku thelsu.

Although, this is a fiction, it reflects the current ugly state of what's happening in the industry right now.
