Chak de India...
A lot of you remember Chak de India as a great movie. Cricket fans will remember it as something that inspired the Indian cricket team to victory. A lot has been said about the movie... but you will all forget it. But I wouldn't.
I will always remember Chak de India as my first movie in a cinema. I wasn't even 3 months old when I went to this movie. Now now, don't start asking me the story and all. I told you that I went to the movie. Not that I 'watched' the movie. In fact, the only thing I remember about the experience was that it was dark and loud.
Nanna chose a good time to take me to this movie. He chose Sunday morning - a day that most people like to spend at home or church. So when we went to the cinema, there were 1002 people in the hall, give or take a thousand. So with Tata, Mamma, Nanna, Amma and myself, the hall occupancy increased 350%!
We chose a strategic place to sit which allowed Amma an opportunity to slip out of the auditorium without much fuss. Just in case you are wondering why such a need would arise... let us begin at the beginning. I am still a small girl and need my tri-hourly dosage of food as I told you uncles and aunties, remember?
So just when the Indian women's hockey team lost to the Indian men's hockey team, I reminded Amma of her duty. This reminder was sent in the form of a sharp cry. Neither Amma nor me watched the movie for the next 10 min or so. But I promptly went back to what I was doing earlier, that is sleep. Neither the 1st round loss nor the final victory managed to awaken me. Do you know what finally awakened me?
Well that is going to be the material for another post, aint it? ;-)
