A Weekend Like Never Before

Oct, 2010 had been a normal month until fourth Saturday of the month arose. Not even a single Saturday was working day out of first four Saturdays, thanks goes to the timings of the festivals which are buzzing around in this festival season. Going for movies, sleeping, eating, roaming had become the part of weekends. First three weekends of OCTOBER were spent same as described earlier without even giving a thought about studies; the target was being set in September for the forthcoming month, but in vain. But the commotion of continuous long weekends after 8 months of job shifting just made me unconscious about the whole scenario. After three sterile weekends, I decided to take full advantage of this fourth and the last weekend of the perpetual chain. I wished for a transformation from being a traveler to a scholastic this weekend. But conviction for studies could not survive the avidity of savoring each moment which I would be spending with my friends.

23rd of October, Saturday

11 pm on the clock, roomies were busy with their own creatures, was the time when I decided to slumber on the Friday night in hopes of getting up early in the morning to cover up the losses. 11 am was shown by clock when I gazed through my spectacles after rubbing my eyes and yawning at the same time. OMG!!! WTF…was my response. I could feel the sensation of warmth in the blanket but was made to desert the same. I though the reason must be my liability towards the studies; but after having my breakfast, I realized that appetite made me wake up not the guilt. Eating my breakfast, took me around 1 hour and that was really required to digest three PRANTHAS or whether they were digested or not; that was also not confirmed. But the thing which I was confirmed about that I needed more sleep otherwise I would have been in the state of unconsciousness whole day. Moreover to add to my pleasure, I took a long bath to rejuvenate myself sothat I could reform my state of mind towards books but it helped in sleeping deep rather than opening up the books. Weather was pleasant and silence could be felt, everything was in favor. After so many driving factors, how could one resist oneself from getting into bed?

When I resumed, it was 3’o clock. As soon as gathered myself to sit on the study table, one of my close friends called me up to discuss about the weekend undertaking. His call reinforced the idea of straying around. Instantaneously I agreed and we planned to go to GIP (one n only place to check out in NOIDA) in the evening. There was no point in studying for one hour or so as the continuity is important in studies, in my case. So I thought of abandon books for the time being and utilize the time in some fruitful endeavor as in watching TV, my favorite time pass. It generally becomes very cumbersome to handle to state of minds at the same time. One side was cursing me not to fulfill the pledge that I had taken last month but another was just chilling out. I could see this weekend also, slipping from my hands but who else was responsible for the situation than me.

In the evening, nothing went as per planning, but I was made to make my way towards SHIPRA (one n only place to check out in INDIRAPURAM) after discussing with him over the phone. Though it was a vague decision to prefer SHIPRA over GIP yet didn’t want to ruin the moment. Actually some excitement was still there deep down my heart as I had been to the place only once earlier that too for a very short while. After a shared auto ride of about 20 minutes, full of dust and pollution, somehow I managed to reach. But one thing I was very sure about that I was not going to spend much time in that hopeless mall. It was already 6.30pm when we reached the mall. We met another guy who was a flat mate of my friend.

After spending one hour, again this weekend was going on the same lines as earlier ones until they both put up a proposal for watching a movie called JHOOTHA HI SAHI. Though I was for it because I am anyways ready for any movie (except RAJNIKANTH ones) but the idea of getting late and staying there only made me think again and again. Initially I resisted the idea but convincing power of two overpowered my resistance. Once I agreed then I fully enjoyed the movie, moreover movie was good enough to hold to our respective seats. Good punches, some light moments, Double meaning dialogues were the limelights. Moreover when you have friends with you, the movie about friends is definitely a cherry on the cake. Two and half hours of sheer joy and fun, we moved out of complex in a new refreshing mood.

It was already 10.15pm when his roomy busted out with an extraordinary idea of watching another movie. Two of us were quiet until we saw the show timings. There was only one movie we could opt for and that was RGV’s biopic “RAKHT CHARITRA”. Both of us were counteracting but he was fully determined to watch it. RGV is already known for his disasters, to add icing VIVEK was in the lead. Totally intolerable; but this time one man army mastered. We were actually going for it. I was a bit excited about the whole scenario as it would be my first experience to watch two movies back to back in a multiplex that too when I knew that succeeding movie was going to be fully unbearable. As expected, full of violence, bloodshed, betrayal. For a surprise, Vivek acted decently but the whole movie could not create that impact. I doubt myself whether I had seen full or not. But the overall experience of watching two movies back to back was great and everlasting.

24th of October, Sunday

It was 1 am when we reached their apartment. As it was a new place to me, took some time to adjust myself. After 2 hours of chit chat with my friend, we fell asleep. Around 10 am I woke up and headed towards my home after bidding bye to them. The same process of preceding day followed and could not hold myself to study table. Rest, as they say, is history.

Though I did the same repetitive things which I generally do on the weekends but what made this weekend so special that I had to write about it, is the adventure of watching two movies back to back….5 long hours of continuous seating….enjoying with new friends….and not to forget, bearing RGV movie.. I shall cherish all those wonderful moments which may or may not come again.
