Screenwriting is about principles, not rules, It is about eternal, universal forms, not formulas. It is about thoroughness, not shortcuts. It is about realities, not the mysteries of writing. It is about mastering the art, not second guessing the marketplace. It is about respect, not disdain, for the audience.
Screenwriting is about originality, not being a copy-cat.

Life is all about traversing from one time into another, from one space into another, and if theory of reincarnation is true, from one life into another...... That's life, a never ending journey......
Moving ahead in life, when success is drooling at our heels, fame is riding high on our heads, we never want to look back at the past. The past which had numerous failures, sufferings, scarcity, tears, rejections, dejections, sleepless nights... and so much more. Scared of all those thoughts, we don't even want to think about it.
But if we really look back, we will realise that past was indeed worthwhile. In my words, it was beautiful, as for a writer, everything and every person has a beauty, we as normal human just fail to realise it sometime. The nostalgic smell and taste of those moments of our past are worth cherishing. And its always our past that paves the way to our future. We should respect and always remember that.
Without the past there is no future. Without an interesting journey there is no satisfying 'The End'.....

The first principle of any form of writing is to just pick up the pen and start writing something. The blank paper lying in front might stare at you for maybe minutes, or some hours, or few days. The fate of that paper, or that piece of writing, may be that neat and clean dustbin lying under your very table. But that is neither the conflict nor the resolution in the life of a real storyteller. This is the start of a bigger conflict, that is, another blank paper staring back at you, only to be followed by multiple blank papers. Writing is an exhaustive but interesting struggle, internal as well as external.
Welcome to the magical world of words, where you are the God of the parellel world, to be created by you. The paper is the ground, the pen is the magic wand, the real world around you is the magic potion and your thought is the magic spell. Go ahead and use your imagination. Just remember that being in the shoes of God is not an easy task. Because if you falter, you will be judged as a devil.
And devils are welcome in the structure of a story, but not in the form of a storyteller...... |

SYNOPSIS
SK is story of Pratha, a middle class moralistic girl, whose father desolated her mother when she was just 5 years old, and because of that she has formed the belief that friendship is better than love, as it does not give pain.
But destiny suddenly brings in her life, Raghav, the perfect eligible bachelor. These two just can't help falling in love with each other, unaware of the fact that Pratha has activated a dormant curse, thus opening a vent for supernatural horror mystery.
SK is the story where these lovers are brought together by the destiny only to be seperated by a curse.
