Love on screen versus love in life

When I had a crush on a girl during my college days, I used to enjoy every bit of love scenes on the screen or on television. Many years later, I got married to someone else. I still enjoy the love scenes on screen and hardly remember my ex but mostly my wife. So good for my wife :)

However, I discovered a friend of mine on Facebook, who had so many posts on his wall about a movie that is mainly a love only kind of movie. This guy, is running late to find a partner in his life. This guy in just an year + or so, wont find a girl to marry but a lady to marry.  He is almost bald and looks little older than his age is.

When his time is running out, I am wondering why he is spending so much time watching those movies about love instead of trying to find a love for himself. Ok, so you think I am forcing him to find a love, not really. Turns out that he has plan to find a love and marry but his time is being spent on watching movies about love.


As a friend, all I could do is to help him understand about it. Wondering how many people are like him.

When people are not serious about their own life and distracted by movies, how could I ever think of helping people in the IT field gain focus about their career. A good lesson for me. A learning re-iterated.

Thank you for it, my dear friend. Your sacrifice to help me learn the above lesson is commendable. Time for you to go and watch that movie about love again.
