The Movie Analogy

This one is inspired by a very brief conversation with classmates in a bus while travelling back home from class. It all started when for a few brief seconds they made me consider a world without movies ;) .

Traveling with mates by bus,
'twas the middle of the week.
As is usually the case,
About movies I started to speak.
They laughed and said, without movies,
my existence would be meek.
"Fear not!" I said, without movies,
people are whom I would seek.

Like Trailers, first you take peak.
Like them, then further information you seek.
In movies, certain genres you prefer.
Likewise, certain quality every person will offer.
Like it, and talking to them doesn't make you suffer

The kind of movie you watch,
sometimes depends on your mood.
A certain individual you prefer in a given setting -
The practice is really not that rude.

Some movies, set into motion a trend.
Some people too, have the ability to make your thinking bend.
Some movies you never tire to watch.
Some people for you, are really a perfect match.

Some movies out there are
quite ahead of their time.
Being different among a group too,
is certainly not a crime.

As is with movies, so is with people
There are a lot of options from which to choose.
If every once a while the choice fails,
There is nothing much that you loose.

  1. Opinions about people may make you lose the person. If you consider that a loss or not is open to discussion :). I consider it a major loss compared to a fictional movie :(

  3. I agree with you sir. But that doesnt stop all of us from making opinions about others. Good or bad you do make opinions about others. Whether you make those opinions public or not may differ, but u make them none the less :)

  4. Man, I am a average IQ person with average EQ too. This is too philosophical for me. I've been reading your blog for a while. Though I don't understand much, but I enjoy reading different perspective. keep it up. I'll try to raise my bar too and maybe someday understand this.
