While sharing about his early days of extreme struggles in Mumbai, an NSD graduate in direction Amrik Gill encouraged students not to get dejected at any moment of their life. He shared how he used to spend his sleepless nights on railway platforms and cement benches on side roads and parks. He holds that when the right time comes, it comes fast and in reality. Telling about film world, he says: �It is not easy to incorporate day to day language and realism in film dialogues. A film writer is different from a literary writer because unlike an individual piece of literature, a film involves aspirations of so many people. The acumen of a film writer lies in being flexible wherein both public demand and individual point of view can be put across. Sensibility and choice varies from director to director."
Some of the LPU students Arvind Kaur Heer and Girish Kumar shared: �We used to think that bollywood writers would be of aloof personalities. However, meeting Amrik Gill Jee face to face, we have come to know that they are more of like us. However, they have special ears for emotions, eyes for symbols, humour for human psychology and a flare to put them together in their writings. Through his lecture, we have gained this all and other great teachings, which Amrik Gill Jee forwarded to us in easy manner.�
