Of movies and life






I remember John Travolta in ‘A love song for Bobby Long’. He played a one-time University professor of literature Bobby Long and his former teaching assistant, a struggling writer (Gabriel Macht), living illegally in a dilapidated faraway country house. Both men are heavy drinkers who while away their days smoking numerous cigarettes, quoting Dylan Thomas, Benjamin Franklin, and T.S. Eliot, playing chess, and spending time with the neighbors while Bobby strums a guitar and sings melancholy country-folk songs .They were heavy reader though They do nothing,
BOOKS books books! Is it everything? Asked an eighteen year old girl heroine Scarlett Johansson.


In the movie ‘Almost Famous’ An upcoming teen age Rock journalist (Patrick Fugit) is, A ferocious Rock critic (Philip Seymour Hoffman, And a Rock star (Jason Lee) ask themselves ‘real music’ Real music’ ‘Real Music’ what actually is real music. While trying to achieve real music all are lost in the whirlwind of life.
Many times I ask myself the same thing.
Movies', 'books', & the 'meaningless fundas' which don’t have any meaning
And the answers suffer the same fate as in the movie.
And reconcile with my lot.
