She opened the book with shine in her eyes and excitement in her heart. She chewed the words one by one, relishing their feel on her tongue and their taste in her heart. She plunged into the story and engulfed herself into each character as they came to life in her mind. She was the protagonist at times, fighting off the bandits or the villian plotting against the innocent. She felt the romance developing in the heart of the leading lady and the pain that the kid in the story felt on losing a beloved. She bit her nails on the suspense and a shiver ran down her spine on the cruel climax. She did not just read the book; she lived it.
He went for the movie that was inspired from the same book. Ingenious that he was, he completed the task in two hours as against the week that she took. "Reading is such a waste of time", he said. The taste of popcorn was what lingered in his mouth when he left the cinema hall.

Two sides to your personality is it? You seem to fit both the description!!!
ReplyDeleteLolz... Can't argue with that. And I enjoy every moment of this split personality...
DeletePerfectly described.

Can't visit your blog. Please give the link here as wordpress link does not work.
DeleteI don't have a blog Priyank. It's a dead blog.
DeleteVisited the blog and loved the detailed web of words there.
ReplyDeleteI am myself a reader and a movie buff; though the freedom of imagination in a book is something that always tempts me to place books before the movies.
Though, at times, the adaptations are more to your liking because someone imagined the book better than you did; like The Godfather!

ReplyDeleteI have a rule never watch the movie if you have read the book before and vice versa. It saves you from a lot of disappointment. Like the character above ofcourse the girl I live the book but I live the movies too, and I would never want to put myself in the conflict of choosing one over the above, which is natural. Saves me.
ReplyDeleteThat's a rule which may make you lose a lot. Imagine you not watching the movie The Godfather or 3 Idiots because you read the book; and viceversa; not reading books like Animal Farm, The Da Vinci Code, To kill a mockingbird because you saw the movie.
DeleteYou might miss on a lot by that rule alone.
