It was wednesday ...we guys were planning to go for a movie ..all we lazy heads decided to go ahead wid the plan,but the problem was with the choice of the theatre ,we started discussing....how abt an evening show near any one of our frnz place and a "sitting" afterwards ,After a long discussion the theatre was fixed, the place was fixed.... perfect...is it ??? nope not yet ..wat about the tickets??. What if we dint get the tickets coz the movie was hyped,the very thought of it
dampened our spirits (did it???)...naaah!! we always had the black option i mean getting the tickets in black..The next hurdle was asking everyone to come over,this is when the real problem started ...our "wonderboy" always needs to be pushed, i called him up ,as usual he was reluctant to come ..what followed that was "#######,#####@@@" and he agreed
Since i had nothing to do i slept in the afternoon.In the evening i got a call from adi n raju ....ab shuru kahani mein twist.... it was abt purchasing the tickets in the front row tat too in black!!!! the very thought was very scary as i had a nightmare of an experience previously ..
...................... flashback starts ..................................
It was during my 2nd year(of wat?? ) intermediate, me and my childhood pal went to "Skyline" theatre, the balcony tickets were all over ..so we had to take the next denomination ,we were told tat not many tickets were left so we took it,The movie being shown was "THE MATRIX RELOADED".. after some time of babewatching(cant use a better word.. sorry ladies) we went into the theatre n then to my shock, our seats were just 3 rows away from the screen i was like ..wat the ****, dint know wat to do, i finally made myself comfortable in that so called chair (a nightmare)....the movie started after a long time coz of a numerous ads were shown rite from some saree ad to an innerwear ad ...... The movie started ....the hero was blabbering something i cudnt understand ...(ahh these english movies) ....the real fun started afterwards, the people in the front row and people adjacent to me were all "mass" guys ...the hero and heroine were in some conversation about something which i cant recollect, these guys were getting restless ...a guy shouted "bahut baat karliya ab kuch kar" n there was laughter all around ...n then some fight sequences and then Neo talks to oracle ..the conversation was interesting coz it was relating to the future of the Matrix ..now again a comment from the front bench guys ..."arrey o buddi se kya baat karega" , seriously this time i was really annoyed wid tat ...after sometime these guys left the theatre coz they dint get to see what they expected ...ahhh some relief i watched the movie and when i returned back home i had a headache,a backache, a pain in the leg and a pain in the ........coz of that so called chair......then i decided not to sit in those front row seats again........
.........again a flashback....................
hmmmm maybe i wud have to write a separate blog on my experiences at
the"skyline" theatre....
...............back to the present..............
All this came to mind when i was told about the front seats which were available ....oh my god!!! hell noooo ...i asked them to try for some seats in the balcony even if it means by paying some extra bucks because i dint want another hellish experience this time around..i went to harsha's place and both of us headed for the theatre meanwhile i was told tat raju and adi got tickets for all of us(in black) ...We guys met at the theatre but we entered the theatre 10 mins into the start of the movie ...i just hated this coz i like watching a movie right from the first frame to the last frame but its okay coz we went there not to watch the movie but to have fun ..we guys decided to make our presence felt so we were all screaming, shouting, clapping, whistling (sounds odd but trust me thats one way of having fun)..the movie was an ok movie but I liked the concept of it …the 2nd half was good but it had too many twists and turns contrary to the first half which was all drab and boring ........."the interval is the best thing that can happen to a bad movie" we had a sandwich and a soft drink which was wasn’t cool enough to be called a cool drink …. the movie was over and then we guys headed for a restaurant .... we were maha hungry like a lion which dint have food for ages…but the problem was ... the time then was 10:30,almost closing time ..we made a decision to squeeze into some restaurant and Order something ,so tat we dint have to run from place to place in search of food....The food was ordered and the guys who eat chicken and mutton gorged like there was no tomorrow, at the very instance we discussed about another friend of ours, jayapal who doesn’t leave even a small piece of meat, the way he breaks the bones of the poor animal and the way he sucks the meat out of the bone was discussed ….we ate and ate and ate until we cud eat no further ….then we headed for raju’s place,As the restaurant was nearby his place we decided not to take the shortcut, instead take a long route coz "SIMPLE IS BORING"…. The ride was fun .. it was around 11:45 that we were at Raju’s place.. we all ensconced in a sofa pondering on wat to do next….all our eyes went on his not so personal computer…harsha and wonder fought to occupy the computer and the whole computer was googlised(searched) .. each one of em looking for wat they wanted ...after some time as any conversation wud have it, that too in the middle of night the topic drifted to “ghosts,devils,aatmas and stories(fiction and non fiction) and fantasies about em” thanks to emi ra Arun and "wonder" the topic varied from talking to spirits to voodoo to some experiences …the first thing was I ve always hated this topic(coz of apprehension) ....... next wat they were discussing was all crap and boring ..i thought it wud be scary ..but It was dull and boring barring for a few moments ….after some time emi ra arun slept while we all were all awake ..then I dunno who said that but we decided to make him the bakra …we did every thing possible we took talcum powder,matchboxes,empty pet bottles, a jhaadu,whatever we could lay our hands on and started shooting we made him a devdas, a mime actor, a priest,a daku mangal singh,a harry potter, everything possible rather watever we could think of wid those props ..but the lighting wasn’t good, so harsha fetched some emergency lamp and the light was focused on "emi ra Arun" …and we started shooting …we dint know what we were doing but we were having fun at his expense …then Adi thought of a really creative thing he got some deodorant from Raju’s room , lit a match and sprayed the deo on the match..... voila there was a huge flame …we decided to play a prank on "emi ra Arun" …Adi placed it near Arun and he lit the match and sprayed the deo but nothing worked...we tried and tried but nothing worked as either the match was blown off or the deo was not sprayed at the right time... I was shooting all this,
the next time it worked there was a brilliant flame but I dint shoot it coz I just closed the cam then,.. aila!!! and everybody cursed me!!! …hehehe and again the process started ...it dint work ,Adi was doing the same thing over and over again but nothing worked....... finally we were down to last three
Matchsticks and finally this time around it worked!!!! and I captured the moment
A flame consisting of blue,red colors sprang up .... it was worth all the trials... The trial lasted a few seconds more than an average trial …we were all happy With the achievement…. believe it or not while we were all doing this emi ra arun was still sleeping!!!!!! "Wonder" was constantly waking up Arun ,we told him to Shut up! but he dint listen to a word of us….finally we passed time discussing on A whole range of topics from moon to earth we left nothing …..not even the dog which was sleeping on the road …strange but true ……then we were tired with the Adventure and decided to a have a little nap so that we could play cricket early in Morning but the time then was 3;30 finally we again opened the not so personal computer And watched “manmadhudu” movie (as raju dint have many watchable movies on his no so personal computer) … I dunno how many Times I saw tat movie but still I can laugh at every good dialogue of the movie( i almost know em by heart!!!!)…. Then Raju bought some namkeen,mixture,some haldiram chatpat …we ate and were Watching the movie that too at 3;30 in the morning…..i dunno what happened next .....But I felt somebody kicking me and it was wonder ...he was waking me up .......it Was 5;30 in the morning we decided to play cricket so all of us headed to a nearby ground which was not really a ground(it was supposedly a children's park but had nothing in it to be called a park or a ground it had trees placed right in the middle of that grassless park and a lot of dump at the corner of that so called park, but if one looks at it from our point of view then it was worth playing, we played for sometime, as usual I played badly …was trying variety of shots which never worked leading to Laughter all around …..
.......................the funny incident......................................
i was about to bowl then i heard something, it was an aunty in the adjacent Apartment asking us not to play cricket coz it seems a window pane was Broken by some cricketers the week before( but we never found any window Which had anything made of glass) …we told tat we would be done in half an hour and we continued playing … After some time .. Aunty came to our ground and demaned the bat …Raju replied “aunty meeru kooda adandi” ("Aunty if u want even u can play with us") which was very hilarious…actually the aunty wasn’t an aunty but an annoying old lady ….
Adding fuel to fire one bhudda came out and started screaming at us ....
If we continued playing then he would perceive us as “YEDAVALU”(useless fellows) and started speaking some crap which sounded as idiotic as his appearance.........I felt like kicking tat old guy ....Adi shouted at that bhudda threatening him to give us Respect …(this was not the way an old person was supposed to talk) …I dint interfere much into the matter coz I was an outsider and if I said or did Something idiotic it wudnt be good ….finally the matter was settled and we Decided against playing, if we played tat old ass wud have died of a heart Attack and the aunty wud have gone mad ..the truth was we were really tired to play any further but we still sat there , after some time wonder was coming up with all law points and some hi fi English to Another uncle(a big time ass) who was peeping from his balcony …the Conversation of wonder and tat ass uncle was very funny coz this was exactly Not the way u talk in an argument ..wonder was coming up wid all law points And some hifi fundoo English (god bless him )..finally the matter was over And we vacated the ground coz we were all tired and irritated wid these Dumb heads …the most funniest part was tat the old lady was threatening to Call the police (as if they have no work).... we were laughing at this ..we realized how foolish the lady was In telling us tat she wud call the police …..we vacated the ground and again headed to Raju’s place and again had a long conversation about trivial things .n finally we decided to get back to our respective houses as it was already 11 in the morning and dint have anything better to do at raju's place…I came back and man there was work work and more work at my place …….i hoped I missed out on nothing ....did i??
