A movie to Remember

2nd October, A day for celebrating Gandhi Jayanti yearly. The gazette clearly states in Annexure I that Gandhi Jayanti continues to be a public holiday. Today I and my friends were all enthralled not because It was our Bapu's ( Mahatma Gandhi’s) birthday but because it was Friday and Matt Damon’s latest movie “The Martian“ got released for which we had booked tickets. I reckon nobody wants to miss its first show.

We rushed to the theatre and reached just one minute before the movie started (lucky we were today).

Though we knew it would happen (checked the reviews beforehand) but just after first five minutes we were totally engrossed into the movie. Trust me if you are science-fiction movie maniac then you should watch it. It’s worth every single dime you spend for tickets

It was almost pin drop silence all around me, no clapping, no one’s giggling, not a single diversion nothing. Though, I could hear people whispering from here and there but it was the least of a distraction. We all were adoring the performance by the cast, admiring the VFX, savouring the taste of a science fiction movie and congratulating Matt Damon deep down in our hearts for terrific acting as usual. What’s the journey if it's doesn’t have adventure in it and the moment came when the silence around us got broken by the shrieking voice of a baby and the whole place got distracted by the commotion. Seeing the people staring at them, the family rushed to the exit door.  After a while, they came back and started trying to catch the pace of the movie. They barely sat for 15 minutes and the baby started crying again and this time the count of eyes staring at them was twice the last time. The couple rushed to the exit door again and this time they didn't come back.    

After one and half hour, the movie ended, we all were satisfied with the plot of the movie and started exiting the door with one sentence in mind “ We did not waste anything neither our time nor the money, it was worth it  dude“

But what's about the couple who had left the movie in between. They didn’t even sit for 30 minutes for the movie for which they paid 250 bucks per head. Have they wasted their money because of their kid? I don’t know if they should put the blame on the kid for crying or the spectators there who started glaring at them with big eyes and wanted them to leave the place at once.

Or I guess couples who have kids should not come for watching movies if they can't keep them silent for 2 hours after all they just can't kill the pleasure which other people were getting or waste the money they had invested in tickets.
But this is what I think. Nobody knows but them how it feels to have a kid and a life with a kid around. How they put their wishes on the second point keeping their kids on first. Maybe I’ll get to know all these strange feelings, the weight of being a parent, a sense of responsibility when I have a kid of my own. Until then I’m gonna enjoy my bachelor’s moments to the fullest.

5 minutes on Traffic Signal

  “ Cars and Cars everywhere but none of them was moving :P :P “

Anyone who has lived in Bangalore even for a day will comprehend exactly what I meant by above line :P :P

Day before yesterday I encountered one terrible traffic congestion  and atrocity increased when it started raining at once. People were plunging to the dryest corners, Cars  around me started honking the horn at fullest and I started experiencing bittersweet emotion. Happy I was because of the car in which  not even  a single raindrop could touch me and sad because this traffic stood up against my patience level. There was  too much commotion on the road, everything seemed to be going haywire and worst happened when I couldn't hold my patience and started grumbling about everything crossing my mind.

Things would have been under control if I had carried the umbrella with me. Had I been walking than I would have taken the footpath and reached my place by now. Why people are blaring horn, can’t they see it’s not helping at all. What's wrong with my mobile, why its battery dying now.Last month I should have bought new mobile when dad told me to by one, God what’s wrong with the network…. Oh fuck, I’ll be late for the gym today. I guess I should buy a brand new bike next month then I’ll be able to avoid all this traffic crap. Oh wow, they opened up new Baskins Robbins ice cream parlor in our block, I must go now  and eat but holy shit I’m trapped here in this cab among shitloads of people on road who can’t just stop honking their horn……. BLAH … BLAH …. BLAH.

and with this a giant gale of questions started rolling out in me but suddenly I heard a tapping sound on the window pane. At the back of my mind I thought who can be tapping at this time and to find out this, I brought down the window pane a little and found a small boy over there holding a bunch of pens in his hand and asking me to buy one. He was a kiddo, drenched from tip to toe, shivering like hell but determined to sell his pens to me or anyone. Though I couldn’t offer him the seat in my car ( may be because he didn't want it ) but bought one pair of the pen. I gave him money and in return he waved a smile at me and moved to next car.

After this event, suddenly the rumbling gale in me came to peace as if it got everything. No more questions were striking hard my mind’s wall. Instantly I found a complete peace as if I got everything from those “TWO PENS”
