The end? Not really...

I am temporarily sick of structuring my thoughts as a dialogue (atleast now, when writing this one). So i ll put em straight from the head...just the raw thoughts...because if you strip the structure out of a written piece what remains is just the essence (Like the subtle aftertaste of kodbale when sippin on coffee)

What is in my head now is the concept of start-end. I have a short film idea also. It's something like this:

The short film s called:

THE START

It's the olympics...The 100 meters run is about to start and the athletes are on their marks...There s a Gun shot and these guys set off. Now there's some explainin to do about the running track. The track is a small circular field and there's only one banner for start and finish. On one side to which the athletes start is START and on the other side FINISH. It's simpler to see it as a circular track where the finish point is the same as the start point.

You know how these athletes look...strong muscular bodies and stuff. So these guys are running as hard as they can with grit in their eyes. Run,Run,Run...Nothing on their mind except the finish line and how fast they can reach there to be first.

And think of yourself as a journo covering the race for BBC or somethin standing in front of the finish line (wait! isn't it the start line?!). You have a camera and all. You stand there catchin the first glimpse of these guys coming towards you. You start recording footage... Strong men makin a run for it. Then one really strong guy emerges clearly in front of others and in the wink of an eye he's crossing the finish line. You focus your camera on him...tired yet accomplished look on his face. After everythin is over and the guys are resting you happen to tilt your camera accidentally so it is focussed on the banner...And you see START written all over it.

THE END

And now for the aftertaste (ya! imagine you are sipping on a cup of coffee now):

Was there a finish line? Isn't it the start line after all? you run a race and reach the finish but it ain't the end mate. You've just started another race.

Isn't the end of a start, the start of an end?
And Isn't the end of the end, the start of another start?

I guess life goes on in circles. The faster you repeat your circles, the more successful you are.
