वो ज़हन मे जिंदगी जीते रहेंगे! (Tribute)


Waise to purani poem hai but isme comedy part khaas Comics Fest Indiak liye add kiya tha. Shiva ji ne bas 1-2 baar mey isko yaad kar k stage par act se pehle bola. *Backdate posting! (when I actually wrote the poem)




वो ज़हन मे जिंदगी जीते रहेंगे! 

इंसानियत के जज्बे को जागते रहेंगे।
सुनी है रात के अन्धकार मे कुत्तो की गुर्राहट ?
और कब्र पर प्रिंस की कर्कशाहट ?
या दिल्ली की छत के नीचे अपराध की दस्तक ?
महसूस किये है जासूस सर्पो के मानसिक संकेत ?
या सूचना देता कमांडो फोर्स का कैडेट ?
झेला है जंगल मे किसी निर्बल पर अत्याचार ?
या सुनी है किसी अबला की करुण पुकार ?
ली है राजनगर पुलिस हेडक्वाटर से प्रेषित कोई ज़िम्मेदारी ?
या मिला है रोशन सुरक्षा चक्र के पीछे इंतज़ार करता कोई वर्दीधारी?
जब तक अपराध होते रहेंगे,
पन्नो मे कैद ही सही,
ये सभी किरदार इंसानों मे जिंदा होकर इंसानियत के जज्बे को जागते रहेंगे।



मिली है कभी किसी से अनचाही पुच्ची?
या फटते देखा है किसी के गुस्से से ज्वालामुखी? 
मनाया है क्या किटी पार्टी को मेला?
या पाया है किसी ने दर्जन बच्चो वाला चेला?
खायी है क्या किन्ही चार फ़ुटियों से लातें?
या बड़े ध्यान से सुनी किसी कि छोटी-छोटी मगर मोटी बातें? 
बोले कहीं एक कुपोषित जासूस ने धावे,
या किसी हवलदार के हवालात मे सड़ाने के दावे? 
खुद को जीनियस क्यों समझता एक बुद्धू बच्चा सिंगल पसली?
या साथ रहा कभी आजकल के नेताओ का पूर्वज असली?
और एक बिना बात धर्मार्थ करने वाले क्यूट अंकल जी.… 
जब तक लोग जीवन से बोर होने लगेंगे .... 
पन्नो मे कैद ही सही,
ये किरदार अंतर्मन में जीवित हो हमे गुदगुदाते रहेंगे।

A Video Teaser using awesome Doga Artworks & Diloague for Doga I wrote. Video by Honey (Vaibhav).
*Road to Comic Fest India (November 30 – December 1, Dilli Haat, Delhi, India) Be there!!!*
Top 10 Doga Vaanis -
1. “Suraj ko dhak kar Doga bana hun…socho andar kitni aag hogi.”
2. “Lawaris hone ka dard apun ko pata hai….isliye akkhe Mumbai ko Doga ne godd le rakha hai.”
3. “Shukr manao Mumbai k darindo ki Doga apne jism se lipte hathiyaar hi isteymaal karta hai, mere zehan k andar bhara barood yeh duniya jhel nahi paayegi!!!”
4. “Mumbai mein Yamraj ka account hamesha gadbad karta hai kyoki yahan par kuttey ki surat mey bina license wala Yamdoot jo ghoomta hai…”
5. “Maut se mai roz milta hun, bada bhayanak hai uska chehra aur maut se Doga bahut darta hai. Haan, har masoom ki maut se Doga darta hai aur koi masoom bemaut na mare isliye aksar ek kuttey kay kaatne se Mumbai mey koi apradhi marta hai!”
6. “Doga apradhiyon se deal karne waala wo vyapari hai jo unki darindagi ko unhe sood samet waapas lautata hai….aur fir bhi roz khoob munafa kamata hai.”
7. ** Do apradhi baat kar rahe hai ** “Pata nahi Mumbai Police ab tak Doga ko kyu nahi maar paayi?” “Mumbai Police Doga ko kyu maaregi….jab tumhara poora kaam koi roz free mey kiya kare to kya tum usse maaroge?”
8. Doga gooliyon ko dodge nahi deta…….gooliyon mey Doga ko chhuney ka jigar nahi.
9. Is kuttey ne insaniyat se wafadaari ki hai is wajah se door se darindo ki niyat soongh-taad unhe cheer-faad daalna iska shauk hai.
10. Insaaf ki Devi andhi hai aur dhyaan se dekho Doga bhi andha hai….fark bas itna hai Doga ki aankhon mey khoon utra hua hai…

Teaser - Psycho Devi

Experimenting stuff while collaborating with Mr. Suresh Kumar. Character development & brainstorming...
P.S. No Adult stuff in the series just an experimental teaser. 

Robo Girl Psycho Devi says....

".... काली करतूतों से तेरी कितने चेहरे मुरझे,
इंतज़ार में तेरे पागल बगल शमशान के मुर्दे।
अड़ियल खुद को समझता क्या जाने ...इन्ही हाथो से रोज़ मुक्ति लेते तेरे जैसे भडवे।
रगड़ कर रेलमपेल करुँगी ...दिल, जिगर क्या गुर्दे ...
भाग ले तस्सली को चाहे काशी, कैलाश ...कलकत्ते क्या खुर्जे ....

तेरे लिये यमदूत बनेंगे मेरे यह कलपुर्जे।"

I am really very "Sorry Shaktimaan"

Posted by: TRENDSTER

TRENDSTER
Ye character sarvsammati se reject hua.  I guess that's why inn Uncle ji kay Raj Comics mey mushkil se 15-20 issues aaye honge.  Though, Diamond Comics nay Shaktimaan ki thodi zyada comics publish kiye hai. Shaktimaan ki asafalta kay peeche ek se zyada bade kaaran thay. 

Awwal to Mukesh Khanna ji ka chehra....unki T.V. series mey makeup kay baad bhi....ahm!....to comic format mey to unki aur bhayankar satya pit gayi..It was the biggest turn off..fir unki body...I mean we want a Super Hero not his "Pitamah"... Kahin na kahin ye bhi lagta tha ki Shaktimaan ki stories were not proper for comic format....Special effects (though not so special) on T.V. were missing in comics. 

Jab bachcha tha to jo serial pasand aata tha aur cool lagta tha wo time guzarne kay saath kuch saal baad repeat telecast mey mujhe teen age mey cheap lagne laga....including his comics. Aur koi utsah bhi nahi tha comics mey uski kahani jaanne ka....sab pata hi tha pehle se....upar se bogus villains..except Tamraj Kilvish jinka andhera mere dil mey ab tak kayam hai...he he. 

Same old Alter Ego...a dumb reporter....his co-worker Lois Lane...oops...Geeta Vishwaas. Sorry Superman!  Kya yaar cheater India waalo....bak!!! Stories were compressed or stretched to fit into then page limits of 30 pages or 60 pages. One more thing, Dheeraj ji and others were not at their best.

Sequencing of Events in Comics

Sequencing of events in comics

Posted by TRENDSTER in Untagged 
TRENDSTER
There are many ways to set the order of scenes in a story. 

First is Simple Chronology in which events are arranged in their order of occurrence in time. Majority of Indian Comics fall under the category of simple chronology. 

Second, the evergreen Flashback method in which past events are focused usually following simple chronology and we see story of present in patches. 

Third....Plot Mix...under this category sub plots flow parallel with each other and the main story. They almost always have some discreet connection and may meet somewhere. Multistar Comics, two in one comics, are examples of this category....though there are some exceptions in Multiple Main Lead Characters Series. 

Fourth, Jumbled Events, following no order whatsoever...till the end when everything falls in place....it's quite challenging for a writer and new, refreshing for readers. Though, these scenes are jumbled but the climax makes every event....and this order meaningful. 

Aap bhi agar kisi sequence pattern ko samjhe to yahan sabke saath share kijiye.

Story Writing Styles

Story Writing Styles

Posted by: TRENDSTER 
TRENDSTER
Writing is an art full of imagination, experiences, mindsets, preconceived notions, creativity, etc. Story writing can be divided  mainly into four styles.  This is just my perception...I hope it suits majority. Focus here is on comics.
1. Stories based on Situations/Scenes -
When a story is based on a simple idea and it contains many new, distinct scenes supporting that idea then it is scenes or situations based story. The story is easy to understand with great flow and pace, usually. Many comics under comedy genre are example of scenes based comedy. The scenes are loosely related. The excitement fluctuates within a limit with change in scenes....so, there is relatively less fuss in reader's mind about the climax and start of such stories.
2. Stories based on Characters - 
Every now and then we read introduction of new characters, villains. Though, the story still demands scenes and story plot but such stories are overshadowed by the personality of the character(s). His/Her characteristics, powers, past, motives, alter ego, allies, etc. So, it's like a Bio Data in the form of many frames and pages.
3. Stories based on Ideas -
A story is based on ideas, themes, story plots, according to the universe and storyline of a series. A story plot is a general idea which can be used with many series. But the series which best suits the idea can be chosen by the writer. Now, turn this upside down....I mean if one is only thinking about a series then there is one, clear choice for the theme. 
4. Message based Stories - 
A story based on special message, moral, teaching. Easy to write and understand but is monotonous, lacks freshness.  Best for kids under 14 years.
Also some special occasions, events, declarations, changes, etc in real life can inspire fiction.

Villian's Side?

RC aksar apni stories mey villains ki soch ko kaafi kum dikhati hai. Villains ki side ki bahut si baaton ko purani kahaniyon kay hisaab se dikhaya jaata hai. Jaise kuch villains ka apradh karte rehna par uske peeche koi logical reason na hona, Fights kay waqt often hero apne rival se 10-12 guna zyada sochta hua dikhaya jaata hai, etc. Aisa hamesha se hota aa raha hai. 

Villains kay bahut se overused, stereotype, dialogues ab bahut bachkane lagte hai. Jaise sabhi random villains ka trademark "Ha Ha Ha......", kisi hero ko maarne ya pakadne ki taiyari karne kay baad agar wo hero villain kay saamne aa jaaye to villain kehta hai...."Arre, Bheriya...tum yahan?"....jaise wo villain Bheriya ki jagah Gamraj ka aana expect kar raha tha. :lol: :lol: Mere kehne ka matlab hai ki aise dialogues aur baaton ka use hona chahiye par bahut zyada nahi. 

Kahani sirf hero nahi banata balki zyadatar kahaniyan villains kay kiye kaamo kay aas-paas ghoomti hai....to itney important kirdaaro ki aisi andekhi kyu? 
Main lead character hamesha achchha aur sachcha ho ye zaroori nahi hai. Kisi villain kay point of view se kahani aage badh sakti hai. Aisa videsho ki publications aur film industries karti aayi hai. 

Mujhe lagta hai 'Aghori' iss concept kay liye sahi rahega. 

Kya RC ko aisi series laani chahiye jisme story kisi villain ya galat kaam karne waale character ko mukhya role mey rakh kar likhi gayi ho?

Kya readers aise character(s) ko accept kar paayenge?
Pehle to gundey Hero kay vaaro par kuch aise thought balloons dete thay. 

"Ye haath hai ya hathoda". (Comic - Dynamite) 

Aise aur bhi examples hai.

So, RC please show every villain's thinking and dialogues properly.

Gunakar (Parmanu)

Professor Richmond ek aise pranghatak prayog mey laga tha jisme jaane to jaani thi par experiment ki safalta Green Pharmacueticals Group ka naam vishva ki agrini pharmaceuticals companies mey laa sakti thi. Jiska Professor Richmond maalik banna chahta tha. Usne apne 2 assistants ko nuclear test kay liye ek kamre mey bheja. Uske dwara kamra bandh kiye jaane kay 15 seconds baad usme nuclear blast hona tha. Par kuch takniki kharabi aa jaane kay kaaran darwaza bandh nahi hua. Wo jaise hi kharabi dekhne andar gaya darwaza bandh ho gaya aur wo apne hi prayog mey apni jaan jaane ka khatra saaf dekhne laga. Blast hua aur sab chhithado mey badal gaya. Par Professor bach gaya aur iss haadse se usme bahugunit honay ki shakti aa gayi thi. Apni iss shakti kay bal par usne apradh ki duniya mey kadam rakha aur uska raasta rooka Parmanu nay. 
'Ab Marega Parmanu', mey bhi Gunakar ka yaadgar kirdaar tha. 'Ek se do, Do se sau', general issue tha isliye Gunakar kay zyada kaarname padhne ko nahi mil paaye. Aasha hai ki Parmanu ki waapsi kay baad Gunakar bhi ek baar phir pathako ka manoranjan karega. 


Gunakar kay baare mey vistaar se jaan ne kay liye zaroor padhiye. 
Gunakar, Ab Marega Parmanu, Ek se do, Do se sau.
