Movies!!

The tryst with Matinee:

It is hard to imagine that at nearly 30 years old, it was only my second movie experience at a theater, both coming in the last 1 year.

I distinctly remember the notion that movies are a waste of time as a school going kid. The taboo that children who go to the movies are the ones that flunk was drilled deep into my being. It was all just studies and occasional playing. We weren't that well off, but going to the movies was not a concept that existed in our home. That's not to say we did not have our fun, just that our definition of fun was pretty different from that of a common person. 

Now, the theater experience is not a pleasant thought. Having to sit still for over two hours in a dark room with very bright lights is not my idea of fun. I have gotten far too used to the idea of absorbing a movie alone, in my own space, in the comfort of my room and while juggling other multitasking activities.
