Innovative Multiplex - Feel Sorry To See You Like That...


I was very sad about Innovative Multiplex ( IM ). It was the first multiplex I have ever been to, and my favorite too. It has the best ambience, best chairs ( no other theater has such good chairs with amble knee room ), good AC, nice sound system, reasonably priced food court, clean toilet and more importantly reasonable price. Only 100 on weekdays and 150 on fri, sat and sun.

When I went there yesterday my heart sank. It's been a while I went there. Ice Age 3 was the last movie I watched there around 5 months back. Yesterday I saw a completely different IM. At 1:15 in the noon, I was not expecting much people there, thanks to the Bangalore sun. The very appearence of the complex
was changed, changed for bad.

It looked like the management has lost interest in running the complex.The lobby was very unkept. There was no people to clean the table at food court. The toilet was very disappointing. There was no soap, no tissue, the mirror was looking old with the reflecting coating lost at places, the cupboard door was on
floor. It was not stinking, and that was good and there was water too. Certainily the IM that I knew and liked was missing...


Inside the movie hall too things were not in place. The numbers behind the chair was all chaos. We needed to look for the small digits near the hand rest to find the seat. The AC was also not functioning fine. It was hot inside. Too bad IM...

Hope they are in middle of rennovation and the new improved IM ( at the same price ) will open soon... Waiting for that. Because it is a place I want to go again...

Love - As I See It...


Love should be
unconditional
sacrificing
accepting each other with all flows
giving oneself completely to the other, no matter whatever the other does
not having any expectations from the other
continue loving even while the other is hurting or demoralising us...
Bullshit !!!


Being in Love, should never ever be anything like the conditions above. Love should be unconditional, I agree, but by taking the giant leap of Love, we of course are making some conditions. When we love anybody, without saying, we are expecting the other to understand us, be with us no matter what, be the pillar of strength, and most important understand us... So how can Love ever be unconditional...


We can not expect our partner to Love us the way we are. Being in Love itself means we both like each other. It should be that part of us we should nourish. It should not take the stand this is what I am, if you failed to see it in the first hand, it was your problem. Now you should Love me this way too. Totally wrong. We need to make each other adaptable. Should mend a bit to fit with each other. Not changing ourself should be the biggest mistake and the spoil sport. When you are ready to Love, love whole heatedly, by making all the necessary steps to make it work smooth.


Love always happen for a reason. Make sure that reason never dies.. If you can not see the friendly warm person you liked in the other, take a pause and get it corrected, you and other both.


All the best... Make your Love work always...

Helping Husband


I was helping mom cleaning fish and prawns in the morning.When my sister called I was not able to pick the call and she was teasing me that I was preparing to be a good helping husband.
In fact, that is not a bad idea, is it ???

I grew up seeing my dad helping mom at kitchen. Being working couple, they needed to share the kitchen and the task of taking care of me and my sister. I am sure, being the 'good' kids we were, they must have had enough fun getting us ready for school every morning ! And if my dad won't help in the kitchen, mom won't be able to catch the 8:30 bus. I remember dad taking us to school in his Hero Jet ( the best vehicle I've ever been on, his cycle ).

Come back to the helping point. Is it really bad helping wife in kitchen ???? Being bachelor I used to share chores with my roomies. So whats the big deal..

There is an interesting point to add to this. When I offer help to my wife, she will deny ( I do hope ) me to do anything that may dirty me ( like cleaning the fish ). I might need to do an occasional vegetable cutting or washing glasses ( my mom begged me not to help her with vegetables and washing. She says, I cut each of them in different sizes and she will have to make them similar sizes to make sure all of it cooks well and that is a greater job than cutting them fresh. Also, if I help her washing I will flood the kitchen and that is much more of a chore. Nobody appreciate my sincere efforts, you see....).

Ok, so my wife will make me do only simple things. And may be I will be able to manage with 'oral' support. Just be in the kitchen and say 'there is an art in the way you cut the vegetables', or 'you wash the glass to sparkle' or 'only you can cook the dish to this perfect aroma' or whatever. She will be happy and finish all the kitchen work fast.

See, by simply be at the kitchen and do some lip exercise and spending time there, I can make sure we will get more time out of kitchen. I can hear you say 'Bravo bro...'. Thank you. Now it is time for you to wish me good luck and wish all my dream come true...
