Epic movies and popcorn-darkness

I’m not a movie freak, but I love good movies like anyone else. Going to cinema halls is an interesting experience. You sit with the screen and its people for two hours and then return home to live with the same characters that night.

Hero - Chinese Movie

Once upon a time, a movie’s influence used to stay on for one or two days with me before fading away. But these days, you come out of the cinema hall and you’re a different person all together. Nothing of what happened inside that dark closed space happens outside it. It is almost like you live the movie, play your part (when you’re inside the theater), and cast off everything when you come out.

The Art of Losing

The art of losing by Elizabeth Bishop. Bishop is not my favorite. In fact, have never read her except in college. But this poem is simply awesome. Think you too will like it. Art of losing is indeed something we need to practice.

One Art

Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
