the day i had a lot of FUN

It's not everyday that you find yourself buying movie tickets to three shows in a single day at a multiplex. But i experienced such a day only recently, and i must say it was an experience worth noting down.
I love watching movies in a theatre. If it's not a CD/DVD i have hired, i have watched few good movies on my television set. With all the advertisements, people around you prompting climaxes in advance, and other distractions, watching movie on a TV/PC doesn't seem all that attractive. But it can be rewarding if you succeed in getting rid of all the parameters mentioned.
A movie theatre on the other hand manages to give you the right ambience, but for ringing cellphones. It was not until my graduation years that i started to go out for movies in place of classes. It was also our favourite way of asking friends 'lecture yaa picture?', and spat came the reply 'picture'. Another time i enjoyed watching movies every Saturday in an Open Air Theatre (OAT). Watching a movie in OAT is one thing you can't replicate any time, any place. The interval was the time to catch up with friends you hadn't been in contact with in the past week. And if your birthday happens to fall on a Saturday, you will be amply gifted with birthday bumps by about a dozen friends. A particular incidence was during Incredibles, in which the whole crowd broke into shouts and applause in the last half an hour of the movie; something that can be paralleled only by the hysteria displayed by people during last three overs during Lagaan. Bunty aur Babli was the last but one movie i watched at OAT, if i remember correctly, and there were shrill whistles all around -- as if it's a real-life nautanki or tamaasha -- when Rani Mukherjee makes an entry clad in a tomato red dress, flanked by mud-wrestlers in an akhaada; each one showing off curves appropriate to oneself.
Wait! I am digressing way too much. Coming back to it!
The current place i am in, doesn't have much to offer towards this end. Wanting to see a movie, i even went for Namastey London, a thing which otherwise i wouldn't have done, probably. So when the opportunity showed itself, in the form of a stretch of three holidays, i couldn't resist the itch to run from the place and catch up with what i missed. I reached Ahmedabad early morning on a Friday, it was Good by the way. I had planned to watch four movies in the span of three days, but was forced to cut it down to three in a single day. Thus i had 300 at 1115, The Namesake at 1720, and Pursuit of Happyness at 2000 hours. I admit, however, that by the time the last movie of the day resumed after the interval, i was drained; but that was the best among the three.
Having said all this i must add that before going for the movies i was all excited, but it was undue, is what i felt after the movies. Something like when Mangal Pandey let down Aamir Khan fans.
