The art of saving


The sound of a dropped coin 
Into the piggy bank sounds like
a desperate lover awaiting 
at the opened doors of his heart.

May be, that's what savings
should Sound like.
You put all your happiness into a whiff 
Of desperation, that you slowly inhale,
To make your heart ready to be served.
Similar to inserting the coins, one after the other until the intensity fades.

The art of saving, require a lot of talents.
You need not put all your heart and soul in a single go. Relax.
For instance, if the moon is shining bright today, save it for your darker days. 
You see? Saving is an art.

If you're wasting your love, hold on.
Save it in your pockets, in your favorite books, in your diary, in your smile and most importantly in your belief.
Let it entangle with every nook and corner of your bones until you feel like investing your savings on something worthwhile.

When you are with your friends just about talking, while the conversation skipping from one dissociated topic to the next, have you ever observed that it's the most boring, daily life incident narrated by that one friend that gets the group hooked and NOT the most flamboyant piece of information that another friend had to say? What do you think? Good oratory skills you may say, but that's just a tiny part of the whole incident. Well, then, you may say it's the incident itself that made the narration so interesting, you may counter, but then it's a boring incident, no? Perhaps It's the culmination of both the ideas- the tool used for narration (oratory skills/screenplay) and making the banal idea into the most interesting part of the story (tell what is necessary to your friends/editing) The idea of this short film sounds too flat when read on paper. So to make it sound vibrant, we thought, after several discussions on the location that we were going to the making fi
