Desperation in Tashan

Two of my friends were very particular in watching a movie.. They were so desperate to watch the movie that they set out to watch the same from the house. why i am calling that desperate is because of the fact that inspite of not booking the tickets in advance, they set out at 3:30PM from the house, hoping to reach some theater and get into the hall for 4:00PM show, amidst the highly volatile bangalore traffic, by means of public transport.

One of my friends has checked the news paper in that utmost excitement and hurry for the theaters playing the show at 4, without realizing that parallax error cropped into the scenario. She realized this only after going all the way to the wrong theater, which is at 4:15PM. They ran to the next nearest theater to check their luck. But Alas, they are destined to have an adventurous evening. They ran to the counter and ask for two tickets for Om Shanti Om. The guy knocks the glass barricade before him and says "i am a legend". Startled by his answer(It was the 1st week of the release of the movie "i am a legend". Poor kids.. they are unaware of that movie), they tried again. The same reaction from the guy.

Giving up the hopes on it, they quickly inquired for the nearest theater playing the desired movie in the next show. They marched ahead quickly and realized that the next show is at 9:30PM. without a second thought, they booked the tickets. hey.. wait.. they are not crazy. But they are passionate to watch the movie that day at any cost. They thought about the implications of their action in the mean time.. and decided to pull in somebody else for safety. They forcefully dragged one guy to be their bodyguard, who has already seen the movie by then. Afterall he is obliged to go. (what else can he do when two girls call him helplessly ;) ). They spent the rest of the day cursing all their futile attempts for something which happened to be not worth so much.
