TAARE ZAMEEN PAR
Garuda Mall-5:40 pm, Sunday. In a queue to try and get tickets to the movie we had heard rave reviews about. Nail biting tension-fingers, toes and every other available appendage crossed-the ticketing information showed fast filling-maybe, just maybe we would get tickets!! At the counter-disaster struck-no tickets. The billboard still showed fast filling. Sadists all, deriving such vicarious pleasure from making people come up to the ticketing window and then gleefully announcing that the tickets were all sold out.
On to Innovative multiplex. At least 10 people ahead of us in the queue. Disappointed faces turning back from the window. Hubby dear, just to make doubly sure, asked the man at the counter, “No tickets?” And hallelujah!! There were just two available!!!
After our photo-finish at the ticketing counter, we walked into the theater, clutching “pokorn” and soda, which Appu absolutely had to have. I was sure we were going to be spending more time outside the theater than in it. I simply could not imagine my 3-year old sitting through a 2 ½ hour movie. Yet another miracle… Appu was goodness personified. Apart from loud questions on “Why is Chetta crying?” and “What happened to Chetta?”, Appu not only sat through the movie but seemed to be enjoying it as well. Or was it just the popcorn and cola???

Appu! He is just similar to the boy character of "Taare Zameen Par". Boy, he is so active, cute and play like anything.
Movie! Its a wonderfull movie, samitha missed out writing about it. Wonderful!!! My childhood days were running on my eyes for 2 1/2 hours. I was very much involved with the movie. That cute and innocent boy made to my cry 5 times (real life appu made like many times in the same day. ha ha just kidding). All kids have to see the movie to learn the life and growing strategies. Well done ameer khan.
