Editor's Pen | Indiblogger Win

Hello Readers,

Ali Naqvi, here. I am here to announce that we TheReelMag has just won 2nd Prize for "Indiblogger- Star Movies- Indiana Jones" blogging contest, held all over India. for the following article http://www.thereelmag.in/2009/10/george-lucas-steven-spielberg-statesmen.html

Yipee, that is one of our first major successes that to within the first year of our ode to cinema world!! :-) Well here's the stroy of how this prize came into being...

One day talking to Sujoy he said, " Hey i just recieved a mail from Indiblogger saying they are holding a India wide contest on Indiana Jones. Lets give it a try.Why dont you write for it." I was like, "umm ok". What i was thinking was, "All India contest ?! what are the chances of any sucsess, but what the heck lets give it my best shot.

I was planning to review one of the parts of the Indiana Jones films. "what if we do Harrison Ford's bio under Statesmen section", suggested Sujoy. Point taken. I called up Rishabh the next day, "hi, there", after sometime I discussed these posts with him. " Well personally I was disappointed when i saw Indiana Jones series a few years back... considering the hype and Spielberg's film",said Rishabh. "Ok then, i'll do both the posts", i said. I must confess i wasn't too happy with the ideas of the articles i was going to wrote on...

next day i spent researching Indiana Jones, and suddenly ideas for two perfect posts came to mind!
1) How Indiana Jones was conceptualised

2) The Movies that have been directly Inspired from Indiana Jones.
