"MADE IN INDIA" THOUGHTS

Detached observation withdraws the energy which your emotions require to sustain them. When you watch your own anger, it dies. If you don't detach from it and observe it, it will be your master. 

If you translate every mistake of your life into a positive one, you will never be a prisoner of your past; you will be a designer of your future.

Brahma Kumaris

Education is learning what you didn't know you didn't know.

EC PROFILES

I am Nayana from Kozhikode. I am a student studying for Counselling Psychology under Calicut University. 

I am also actor, just one movie old. I completed my work in a Tamil film named Arasakulam. It is a tender and touching love story. It will be released this year, probably in June. I would like you all to watch it as it is a good movie- straight from the heart.

I became interested in acting when I was only three years of age. My parents tell me that even at that tender age of three I loved acting and being on stage, doing something like singing, dancing etc. From there it has been a long journey of sorts, acting in school dramas, mono acts and even in a TV reality show called "Mammootty-The Best Actor". In fact this show gave me my first break ie., Arasakulam.

Now I am waiting and watching for better roles to come by. I believe in the policy of "Letting things to happen" rather than "Making things happen"
