Movie Masti!!

“Do u want to go to college?”, my friend would ask riding his bike … looking at me thru the rear view mirror.
“Naaah, what about u??”,
“Naah… Chal lets go watch some movie…”
and we would head straight to the theaters to watch our matinée idols on the 70 mm screens.. The best way to kill time if u ask me is to watch a movie.. Balcony tickets would cost us just 45/- or 50/- at the max. And popcorns and soft drinks at the interval would cost another 20 – 30 more.

But now It seems totally different to the Bangalore I once knew…

There are so many Malls and multiplexes everywhere that No body even wants to go the local cinema halls anymore. I really miss most of the cinema halls.. which were the only source of entertainment during my Enngi days..
Some good theaters like Plaza in Brigade road, Swagath in Jaynagar, Geetanjali in Malleshwaram and Sujata in Rajajinagar have stopped functioning. There are many other theaters which may follow suit.
For a mojor movie buff like me.. its really sad to see Most of the movie halls been converted into shopping complexes or office buildings.

Nand my sweetheart!


Its so much fun to just play with kids.. I just love to be with my sweet lil cousin Nand.. He is so full of life and energy.. My GOD!!

I dint do anything much all day.. was just playing and running around this cute fella.
He is crazy about "ninja turtles" and SPD ( no idea what it is.. have just heard him sreaming SPD all the time thou) and "The Power Rangers"and specially the green ranger .. He is so crazy about the color green.. anything he wears or eats (cake or toffee) has to be green. 'Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeen' is how he pronounces it!!

I feel kids of his age seek more attension and love. Both my uncle and Aunt are working and he really misses them a lot when they are not around.. He is all happy and fine but when they are around he gets more stubborn and attension seeking. My poor sweetie! I remember when I was a kid I would just wait for my mom to come back from work.. I just hated home works and studies and my uncle was very strict abt my studies.. everyday from 6 to 8 was my study time.. He would make me sit on my study table and he would watch the 7'o clock news.. I was so innocent(or dumb u might say) then, that, I used to think that news readers knew everything about everyone in the world.. like they had some super powers to see who was where and what! hehehe and I would say a silent prayer to the news readers and request them to tell my mom to came back soon from work and save me from my Uncle.
