Going to the movies is fun,but going with your dad or mom? well..when I ‘force’ my dad to watch a movie,he makes it a different experience altogether.For him,all heroines look the same…he keeps asking me their names and within a second, forgets them.

I remember taking him to a movie about sharks,an adventurous one..while the movie was an ‘edge of the seat 'experience for everyone around,my dad was snoring!zzzzzzzz..

 ‘Is the movie over? Lets go..the movie was  crap!’ is all that he would say when I jolt him from his slumber. Whether it is Anaconda  movie,Shark attack movies or the usual Indian masala movies,it is the same thing with him..he snores away..zzzzzzzzzzz…

My mom ..well..well..she brings her mantra books or japa mala(rosary beads) to the theatre.she brings water bottles,napkins, some home made munchies and I wonder whether we are going to a movie or a picnic!

Last time we went to a movie,she hated the hero sooo much.You may ask why?

It’s simply because he was teasing the heroine a lot and talking in a slang way!

‘Is this the way a gentleman behaves? How did he become a hero in the first place? Perhaps he is the directors son!’ she grumbled.

‘Well..mom the hero is playing the role of a tapori..how can he behave like a gentleman?’

And YES he is the directors son..hahaha’ I replied.

Before the interval itself I hear her chanting on her rosary beads,eyes closed and transported to spiritual land and of course my dad, as usual in dream land!

The only time my parents look happy is when the movie is over! Hahahaha.. when THE END appears..then I wake them up from their respective lands!

They come back home and put on some old mythological movie on TV and then I see them really enjoying it!

Well….Ive decided never to force my parents to watch any movies with me…They are happy watching their olden goldies! Years fly away, but the ‘movie taste’ of the elder generation will remain the same! Zzzzzzzzzzz…
