I went and watched Ishqiya at innovative multiplex shelling out 150rs for the ticket and another 40rs for the butterscotch milkshake which was sickeningly sweet and another 40rs for the popcorn. Alone.
I go sit there pretty and relaxed sipping the milkshake but people seemed to have a slight problem. A loud just-out-of-college gang of Bengalis to my right and a maine-ishq-tumhi-se-kiya couple to my left. And here is what i got from them all-
At the ticket counter -
How many tickets ma'am?
One please.
One ma'am?
Yes please.
Just before the screening starts -
1. Kurta-clad-bengali-guy-to-my-left gives me a Waiting for him to join you, eh? look.
1. IloveYou-IloveYouToo-couple to my right give me a Oh!you must be waiting for him to join you look.
After the screening starts -
2. Kurta-clad-guy-to-my-left gives me a Call him up! He's late look.
2. IloveYou-IloveYouToo-couple to my right give me a You aren't even using your cellphone!You have lost yours'?Or he has lost his? look.
I dunno what other looks of disbelief they went on to give but I got engrossed watching Naseruddin on full screen. The movie has absolutely lovely songs.
Interval.
Nothing happened. I paid 40rs and bought popcorn.
While i sat munching the popcorn -
3. Kurta-clad-guy gives a Movie alone!Popcorn alone! Cute! look.
The couple were busy hogging and sipping and slurping.
And then the movie got over in another 40 minutes. I gave them all a Oh yes!Please go ahead & think i'm here alone only because i lost a bet to somebody. Do i have an unfriendly vibe? No, no! I've enough people in my life! Thank you beri beri much! look and walked out.
So long and thanks for all those generous pity glances!
Oh! Fun it was! :)
P.S: What i did on the Valentines' day? Oh, nothing much.Treated myself with panipuri late in the evening which made up for an otherwise sullen sunday.

thats why I prefer Rangashankara, where being alone is plus point moreover light and tasty on pockets too. Where jaljeera is heavenly soothing and akki roti takes you back home and crowd their all alone!
