Saturday night. The end of a long day filled with errands - taking my father to the dentist, grocery-shopping, filling up the car with petrol, buying a birthday gift for one of Ads' friends, stopping by at the mall to buy tickets for a MOVIE!!!! I was very excited. It's a really big deal for me, that after five long years, last Saturday night, I got to watch a movie with S, in a movie theatre. The last one we watched together was Bunty aur Babli, which as we all know was released a century ago. I was 6 months pregnant with Ads and blissfully unaware of how drastically our lives were going to change.
The movie - Peepli [LIVE]. The show - 10.25 pm. The idea was that we would leave Ads at home with my father and take Y with us. It would be well past her bedtime by the time we started off, so hopefully she would nod off in the car (she cooperated). She stayed asleep all through the movie except for the last 15 minutes which she insisted on watching. So, definitely the whole experiment was an unqualified success. Obviously, this model is not a scalable one; we can only do this when one of the grandpas or grandmas is around. But...it's a start!
We're going to catch another movie next weekend. Can't wait!
Good for you! Did you like the flick?
ReplyDeleteyes it was very good. fully lived upto expectations. subtitles would have been good i thought, the very authentic hindi was a little tough even for me to understand, and my hindi is fluent.
