All Glory is Fleeting

Having been a Superstar
Far out of reach from my competitors
While was fighting my war
Saw off all the opponents with fervour

I was the talk of the town
A sensational Victor, a Legend
Whoever fought me, went down
With insurmountable losses that wouldn’t mend

Game after game – I won
Cruising along, I feared none
Like a tall mountain that stood with pride
Glory was on my stride

Like the never-ending waves, I marched
Watching me unstoppable, my rivals parched
Precision and Perfection
Took me to new levels of elation

Millions of fans celebrated my victory
As I was creating history
Like the beaming sunlight that descends upon the earth
With some brilliant plays, I took away my fan’s breath

After few everlasting success
The winds seemed to recess
Age and injury took a toll
When the new players had a roll

Every game I lost gave me pain
And failures started to rain
The end of an era – some called
My ideas and execution flawed

All good things would come to an end
When I was no more able to bend
Young Sport stars became newsmakers
And they were game shakers

I had to give up someday
I have no future in the offing
Success is no more my way
And all glory is fleeting

[InFocus] Majid Majidi

For few Cinema is a science – for instance Christopher Nolan. He brings then concept of science into his films. The screenplay, movie’s core is built on top of science. And why not? We have tried to ascertain every event that happens in our life to science.  Even the music that Nolan feeds in his movies bear science. And I am a great fan of Nolan and his movies. But then there are few directors like Alejandro Gonzalaez Inarittu, Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, Vittorio De Sica who treat Cinema as an art. They have all given importance to characters in the movie and their feelings. They all have expressed human emotions at their best. And here we have one who shows life at its simple and best. Characters defined with utmost simplicity – Majid Majidi. Majidi isn’t a man who complicates cinema. He flows like a thin air, like a pleasant wind. He doesn’t use twisted /webbed screenplays or confuses people with adverse characters. People who portray his films know exactly what the...
