Back to back:
Many a times we do plan considering all the factors but surprises will be always there to ruin out all our plans. Something happened this weekend with me.
Me and my friend, Ajit, decided to go movie Da Vinci Code and he booked the movie tickets in the morning. The show was to start at 3.45. After doing some shopping at Majestic area, we reached bus stop at 2.45pm. We had hardly one hour and we were late. But still hoping that we will be in time to Innovative theatre near Marathahalli Bridge. We got bus at 3.00 and through Bangalore traffic jams we reached Marathalli at 3.45(almost them movie started). We had not yet reached Maratthalli bridge and we decided instead solving this traffic jam code, reach theatre by walk or catch an auto-rikshaw. After walking for 10 min we came to know due to road construction, there was a bottle-neck created. There was no chance to take any auto-rikshaw on the main road. Instead of going through main road, we went through inner lanes finding some short-cut. On the way, had to enquire to local people about the road so that we should not end up with some long route. Ajit and me were cursing to our favorite friend Murphy who never leaves us.
When we reached theatre at 4.10 by missing all starting scenes. Thanks to Ajit as he has already read the book and told me the first part of the story while we were running to reach theatre. First few minutes we were relaxing and then it was interval … :-(. We had Pepsi and something to eat. (I could not stop Ajit for buying the costly Pepsi, as there was something really needed to chill us. I always thinks those shopkeepers simply loot us and we also won’t do anything to stop being fooled). Somehow, we able to catch the story in the second half.
The movie finished at 6.00pm (We were not in a/c enviornment for atleast 2 hours and paid 120rs.... :-( ) and when we came out of the theatre it was raining heavily. All people were standing in the corridor and waiting the rain to stop. I saw a long queue for another movie, Fanaa. I asked Ajit and I went to booking counter. Somehow I managed to pretend the other people in the queue, that I am also in the queue ;-) and booked two tickets for Fanaa. We had hot corn in that cold weather and went into the theatre to watch the movie. We reached home somehow by bus and then private vehicle (always problem at late night to reach home). At the end of the movie, Ajit warned me not to talk about rules and following them in future otherwise he will kill me (because all the way in the bus I may be irritating Ajit regarding people who don't follow the rules and inconvenience to others). In the morning when I woke up I never thought that we will see two movies which are in flash light from last 4-5 weeks (Da vinci Code and Fanaa) and that to back to back.
That’s why I said, whatever we decide/ plan with whatever precautions we take, it is not sure that we will end up with all our plans.
