Rains,Spilling Popcorn,Faulty Projector and the Simpsons Movie

What a day!

First it takes me 45 minutes to get from home to college, where on every other day it would have taken me like, 7 minutes. The roads were clogged with traffic, and water logging everywhere. Even on my road, which is right next to the sea. Creepy!

So I go to college, attend the Creative Writing lecture. Good fun.Wrote two stories about body language of persons, 1 was in a lift, and the other.. well body language of my dog, when it is agitated. I wrote that in first person. Good fun!

After college, met up with Purab and crew at Mocha's for a cuppa coffee, and randomness, listened in on a few people's conversations about advertising(yes itz bad manners, but i cant block out speech!), and there was some photoshoot on at mocha's. The model looked hot! :P

Got home, faffed for a while, then decided to record a video using my webcam. Was talking to my friend Ambarin on the telephone, while recording the video. Spent the next two hours editing the video, and prepping it to load on YouTube. All during this while, my food kept getting cold.

4:50pm, left home, to go fill some fuel in the car, and pick up Priya. It was the Simpson's Movie day!! woohoo!! So we got to Sterling, and there where quite a throng of people outside..all for the simpson's movie! It is a majorly hyped kickass movie afterall!
So well, Priya and me decided to sit in the lobby, and realized that it was like Antarctica in there! So we stood near the popcorn machine (warm u see!)...and well Priya as usual decided to check out phirang(hindi slang for foreigner) dudes.. well this is a d'oh moment.. phirang dude turned out to be an indian gora! heheh!!

I have said this in the past and will say this again, Sterling Cineplex, gives me a damned Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Once you see the picture you will know what I mean. Well Priya clicked some pics of us with her cell, and as soon as she gets free I'll get the pics from her!

Well then we got popcorn, and then thanks to my stupidity..yes my stupidity.. I dropped the popcorn on my seat, the whole thing, even before the movie started! D'oh!

So the movie.. was a laugh-a-minute-ride sort of film, and filled with many titbits of the show(the Fox ads in-film..heheh, the 'To Be Continued' screen)... it was great fun, but somehow, like the Simpson's episodes from season 9 onwards, the plot is very wayward, and can get cliched at times. But none the less, it's a film I would watch again, I mean it's been 17 years in the making! :P

POINT A
---------------------------
STERLING MULTIPLEX SUCKS!
They have a completely incompetent bunch of technicians in the projector room! During the interval, they went on a chai break, and left the projector running. So well these songs were playing during the interval,and then suddenly the movie starts playing, and we see homer's lips move but we hear this wierd 90's boy band pop song.. ppl started yelling, and we all joined in yelling the choicest abuses in Hindi and English!
FOR 1 AND A HALF MINUTES, WE HAD TO WATCH THE MOVIE, WITH THIS CRAZY TRACK!!! AARRGHH!! I WAS SOO PISSED!!
--------------------------------

Then we were supposed to get a Subway sandwich, but the crowds were too much to handle, and even the sight of a phirang, could not tempt her to wait in line!

So anyhow, we went and grabbed a pack of horribly greasy fries from McDonald's, which made me queasy.

And then we left, I headed home, and here I am, uploaded the video I recorded and edited this afternoon a while back, and then after eating a SUPREMELY SPICY dinner(in record time), I decided to write another post, one which I have written but unsure about putting up, and then I wrote this post.

So ya.. that's about my day.

Quite fascinating, primarily because of the The Simpsons Movie accompanied with meeting Priya.

Goodness redefined!

The Lives of My Cellular Devices - My Moto

It's been an eventful 18 years. I at times feel, my life is very much like a movie. And I'm the lead actor. This preposterous notion, could probably be because, I am an actor in theatre, professionally and as a hobby.
But anyway, my life, is full of excitement, suspense, fear, comedy,romance(tends to be poofed as of now), action et all.

So what role do my cellphones play in this mega-blockbuster. Well other than connecting me to the rest of the co-actors, and strangers, they in a way become an integral part of my life. And they have all throughout the time I have had them.

Them... yes i've had more than one cellphone. Let me think now... around... 5!

And when did i get my first cellphone... that would be in May 2004, during the vacations after my 10th standard ICSE board examinations. I was exstatic. It was a Motorola V66,clamshell phone. It was Dad's previous fone. My love affair with Motorola began with that phone. It was sleek, it was stylish, and it looked cool! I mean black!WOW!

And to think Dad was almost about to give me one of those creepy Reliance phones, the white samsung ones.Yuck!

So when I got to college, I had that phone with me, and in college, well, that's when began my fascination with girls. And what a fascination that is!

Namrata was her name. She was sitting in front of me during the sociology lecture and i started talking to her. She looked cute, and well, me being me.. well i was instantly smitten. I started messaging her, and chatting, and talking and all that usual jazz. When I look back, I think, was it an infatuation, or love?

Anyhoo, she left college, went to a college in the suburbs, and so our cellular contact reduced. It became more online, and very hi-hey contact.

So then, I took part in this dramatics in college. A one act play. I guess at this point,began my tryst with stage acting, which has now been going strong for the last 2 years. This girl Aditi in the Arts division loved my acting. She said, I seemed like a true-blue romantic! And well, those who knew me then, knew that i was a sucker for compliments. And pretty face, then boy was i floored. Times have changed, compliments now, humble me.

So over my Motorola, i sent her many a flirtatious message. Professed my love. Sigh. Yes. And now, well we're just online buddies. That never really turned out to be anything.

Then there came a sad day in the life of my phone. Pizza Hut,VT. Purab, Saloni and some of our friends and me were sitting and eating at Pizza Hut. I suddenly got curious or as we call it in hindi 'keedas', to see what would happen if i put my cellphone in a glass of Coke.
And the results. Well Udit runs to loo, washes cellphone under faucet *wot i blundering fool i was!*, and then blows air into it. Then well it's time to decide the official version of what happened (this goes to parents) ... so the official version is.. Udit and Purab were walking on the road, Udit talking on his cellphone, when some of his schoolfriends passing by in a car, splashed them with water, as a result of which the cellphone got wet and conked and died.

And so, I thought i was going to be phoneless, for life! I was sad! :( My cellphone, even back then was my life. But it got fixed in a week, and it was back, but it was done for.

I remember i got it back. I was ecstatic. And then i switched it on.

I GOT A SHOCK! literally. It sparked and sent a charge threw me, and then started buzzing loudly. I somehow, removed the battery.

The Motorola V66, was done for.

It was time, for the next phone to enter my life.

And since I have a PR report to finish right now, I shall write about that, and much more in the next, romance and action filled post:
