Ekla Chalo
There's a certain mystic coolness about going to the movies alone without letting anyone know. For those couple of hours, you are lost to the world - off the radar of your loan sharks (just kiddin' of course). Thoughts such as 'if an alien ship abducts me right now, near and dear ones will be going mad with worry and grief in a couple of hours and running around, making frantic calls without much clarity' can do strangley good to your self-esteem. And like a man eater who tastes human blood for the first time, I am beginning to enjoy this socially unacceptable ecstatic feeling. And what enhances the feeling is if there are hardly any other people in the theater. Of course, the movie and the show times play a great hand in this. And here in the US, with accessibility to one's own space not posing a problem, you don't even have smooching couples disturbing you from your solitude from dark corners with their Acapella soundtrack.

wow! another random update!
hey i finally managed to catch up with ur blogs ....and im glad i did!!!
u know wat struck me abt this blog was the title ...remember v had a song in school that went the same way? just thought of it ... and quite amazingly i actually kinda remember the wordings as well .....
as far as solidarity is concerned its sweet when its restricted to a few hours a week .... craziness is always driven by too much of anything ...:)
DC: Thanks. Yeah, I was referring to that song when I thought of the title. I think I remember the wordings as well. I also remember how everyone unknowingly slaughtered the pronunciation of the lyrics =) I am sure you mean solitude. I don't think too much of solidarity is a bad thing ;)
