Having just read an article in Mind Your Body and the moie Harry Potter, I have an urge to blog about reality and fantasy.

I thoroughly enjoyed the CGI-ed show and I was totally enticed by the setting in the movie. Nice as it is seen, it looks horrible in reality. The production photos reveal this fact and the scenes were touched by lighting and other special effects. Having been exposed to theories of light, I am truly amazed by the wonder of lights. During a single practical session, we saw how side lights can define a bare body, though he not be exactly muscular. Lord of the Rings will have fall flat if lights were not used extensively in enhancing the show as mentioned by Dorothy. While, I am not considered even an amateur in light, thus shall not talk anything further. But, I enjoyed the few moments when I escaped from reality when the flood lights are off and specific stages lights are shone. I would wish a theatre show or a movie will go on forever. I always feel sadden when the credits begin showing. That means - time to leave the theatre and cinema or rather please return to the reality.

Here comes the point mentioned in the article. More teenages are escaping from reality and ensnared by the virtual world be it of their own imaginative thoughts or the Internet World. An anecdotal example shows a boy dependent of drugs for escapism. While, that will be one of the extreme cases. We too have become too successful in the Internet world. Excelling in interpersonal communication is one example. Sometimes, I would have imagined X to be a cheerful, loud and talkative person simply because I always talk to X online and words like HAHA, HEE HEE, YO THAT RAWKS la la la often appear. I being impressionistic. But how else can I judge X? A good choice indeed. But when it comes to converstaion in the real world, X simly falls flat.

The boundary has been blurred.

To sidetrack, simple words in life can make a difference. Words like you can make it may sound facetious or encouraging phrases like don't worry may appear pretentious, but they can touch the heart of others. It's better than closing the eyes and think that the person will think through by himself. That's totally crap.
