Pongal Holidays were a pack of Joyful days.
It was a day after Mattu Pongal .
11 am- Got a call from School friend about going to new Pongal release film Ayirathil Oruvan.The film was running in Reliance Adlabs in KK nagar lake area .I accepted his invitation . He told me start from at 1 am and come to Suguna store.I checked if my old captain cycle in available.Father told "It is puncture .Go by walk". I told him "The theatre is only 2 KMs from home .Surely I can walk with comfort"
1 am Hot meals was ready with pilchar ,greenies and curd .Mummy was preparing to fry
Gobi Manuchurian.It wasn't ready.
Me:" Shall I eat pilchar Bhat and go.I may get late to the film ."
My mummy "Wait ra.Just five more minutes to get the fry ready"
I said "Yes i can wait.I can ask him to get tickets and wait for me.Gobi FRY served hot rocks".
Just when i started eating hot piece of Gobi my friend called me."Yes.I would be there at 1 30 You just start now".I know his place was bit far from Suguna store.So i can start 10 minutes later after him.
It was sunny day .But my body and spirit loves Madurai heat.Its my birth place.I am more accustomed to this heat.Though I live in Chennai its lot more humid and walking in chennai on a hot day is lot more difficult.I was wearing a orange fluorescent Shirt and Denims.
I had crossed my area and entered Anna Nagar Main Road.Its considered one of the best places in Madurai.Land rates have increased a lot.There are lot of commercial establishments and shops and Hospitals which just started in this place.I met my friend in Naveen bakery near Suguna stores.
Me "Hey can we get tickets.Lets see"
My friend "Let see da.We could have started a bit earlier"
Reliance Adlabs had two screens.Counter didn't have crowd. Two Girls taking tickets just before us.The latest show was 1:30 PM at screen 1.
Man in counter:We dont have tickets for 1 30 PM.Next show is at 4 PM in Screen 2 .
Girl 1:Give us 70 RS tickets.Do you tickets in last row
Man in counter:Yes I will you give you Madam.
They went off
Me:Do you have Tickets for 1 30 show.
man in counter:No only 4 PM show has tickets
Me:Give us 70 RS tickets.
man in counter. Only 50 Rs ticket is there
Me:ok .Give us.
My thought "Either We dress like Local boys so that we don't get higher class tickets.Are these Girls too cute so that they get Attention and higher class tickets .Time has come in this world for Kaliyuga Avatar to destroy these discriminative persons.
Me :What we are going to two and half hours.
Friend:I will have cigarrete first.
Me:hey You are suddenly become crazy addict for this.Be careful.Lets first have sugarcane juice in near by shop first.
We drank Sugar Juice with pepper.Really best flavour.I wondered its only 10 Rs for this rocking flavour
After a while we decided not to go home.We started to walk towards Gandhi Musuem
