And the movie plays


Everybody's life is just like a movie, with him/her as the protagonist, a few main characters and full of extras. The scriptwriter introduces the characters, manipulates them, makes some of them important, some less important and some vital. Sometimes he wittingly concentrates on certain characters and makes them lovelier. The cinematographer usually uses long shots but sometimes makes close-ups, focusing on some, monitoring their slightest movements, giving the viewer a weird impression that they are going to play a major part in protagonist's life. The composer too, helps them to make the atmosphere work: The tempo changes, guitar and flute replace piano. When everybody is prepared, director abruptly decides to take that character out. Camera fades out and poignant music of violin replaces guitar. Camera goes up and takes an aerial shot from the situation. The editor slows down the pace of the film. The director gives the editor some flash back scenes and asks him to insert them into the movie. The protagonist should live in the past memories for a while. Scriptwriter feels that the rhythm is getting very slow and some new characters should be introduced. He finds some excuse to add the new people, observing them closely to see which one of them has the potential to be promoted as the main character. In the course of all these fateful deeds, the protagonist hopelessly struggles to make sense out of all the nonsense.

This opens the scene of the new semester. :)

Whether it is to make sense out of nonsense or make nonesense out of sense, but if do it with the full heart, then every scene is special and precious.
