I peered into the gloom of the theater and it was to my utmost surprise that there were only 16 people seated in an arena meant for 350 people. Among whom, 5 were us. Standing a mile away from my destination, I could easily make out my giggling posse lounging in the uppermost row, who dominated the audience, by their outrageously loud comments and bursts of laughter. This concept of fun sounded absolutely absurd to me until I laid my eyes on the sleazy star-cast of this trashy film. No matter how much I cursed myself at that moment for being there, deep down inside, I knew what was coming. I was just beginning to be fond of our criticism of their cheap production- LIVE in the theater only. And I had never fore seen of what followed it- the craziest session of laughter I have had in a cineplex. From the only pair of boots the heroine had the entire filming season to the most mangy jackets the hero sported in the two-hour long movie, nearly everything was the butt of our jokes, irrespective of the fact how much finance they wasted on capturing the scenic beauty of Australia.
Speaking of Australia, this movie had a huge impact on Sarah and I. Sarah might now be having second thoughts of spending her practical life with a Desi Aussie, after observing the kind of guys available out there! Anyhow, people at school will be finally freed from her wrath that she inflicts upon them by publicizing her passion for Australian gentlemen.Whereas I, might now be giving Australia a thought for settling out there, after being mesmerized by its picturesque scenery.
Shireen, outdid herself at the end, by entertaining the authorities by her mowgli dance at our departure, just at the moment when they were plotting to kick us out of the hall. Their frustration all vented out when they slammed the door hard on Shireen's exit! Qainat's limping gait throughout just gave me an opportunity to envisage how she might have fallen over the ONE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED. I would die to be blessed by a mere glimpse of that scene. Qainat, can I have a recap of that episode, please?
The high calorie intake after the cheap visual treat, was enough to boost our metabolic rates to charge us for the kodak moments, albeit missing Sarah's super-cute face heavily in those pictures. Nevertheless, Zarah was a wonderful substitute for Sarah, who teamed up with me to give some stunning shots, especially against Qainat and Shireen's not-so-good picture moments. =P
Yes, it was so not to happen but I cant thank these wonderful young ladies enough for blessing me with blissful moments every second which we can cherish in the long run.
That time is not far off, when each of us will reminisce of what is present today and will be past tomorrow. I can imagine Zarah coming to a reunion 10 years from now with two toddlers and Sarah with five- And what will be the most entertaining conversation then, would be reminiscing one of the hilarious gatherings we spent together like today.
Love you all- XOXO
