Priya's Jinx

It is final that Priya (PVR) is jinxed for me. Whenever I go there, something invariably happens (Kaand) no matter what.

Kaand 1: MANGAL.....MANGAL....!!!

Day: Friday (Mangal Pandey is released)
Time: 7 p.m. (show will start in 15 mins)
m standing in very long queue for the tickets.

queue is moving with snail's speed towards the counter and m praying that god plz giv me tickets..(my roomy as always is on his phone...) glances towards me sometimes ...smiles and then again starts talking furiously...
ticket status above is showing purple....big movie...big hype... m victim of same...
finally m reached upto the counter (ticket status just reached red...grr...)

person (at ticket counter)--- soory sir , house is packed..
me----for next show...or do u have any ticket available...
person---- no sir... house ful for the weekend...
me--- hey bhagwaan...aamir ke itne fans??? (teri maa ki......)

(5 mins from show to start)
back to roomy...he is still on phone...shrugs... and back to phone...

just then a man( he is drunk..very drunk) approaches me..do you want tickets???
m---(yeah...lucky this time... this day is with me...aamir...main aa raha hoon...)ok, but i need two ticktets..
drunkard man---no problem
i gives him 120 bucks for the star class tickets...shows thenm to atul and backs my self that i got these lucky tickets.... jaroor

subah aaine mein apna chera dekha hoga...tabi to itna lucky lucky feel kar raha hoon...
(2 mins from the show to start)

entry...to hall..
ticket checker seem to notice that we have only single portion of ticket..(for non-pvr goers they must have three... out of which one is cut out at the ticket counter itself...other is torn out at entry and third remains with them... par yeh mujhe baad mein pata laga...)
but still he let us enter... so no problems... we checked out the new type of lazboy chair for display there...
(1 min)

just before entering to the hall i noticed that pvr's security staff is talking with the some police personal…with the same drunkard guy who sold me tickets... now this does not look good...

(30 sec...and we are in..)
we entered the hall sat on our seats.. fun part began when another two ppl came with the same tickets... we were led to the pvr manger ...

(2 mins after movie started)
manager---from where we got tickets... tell us or we are going to handle you to the police...
he told us about the drunkard person how he snatched the tickets torn portion from the ticket counter so we have the first portion which we should not...

we(ok...only me) ---ok... lets us go out
manager---no, u cant until the movie is over... or if u want to then u must submit ur driving license...
me---booohoooo...kahan phans gaye...#$#@%$$#
(10 mins after movie started)

u need not to be a rocket scientist to understand the plight of my roomy... poor creature... on altar due to my stupidity...

marte kya na karte..

me--- so give us another tickets
manager---house full
me---come on.. u cant lets us stay here for three hrs and not watching the movie...(damage control)
(15 mins after movie started)

after pondering over our sad situation he gave us ticktets...(for 90 bucks each.... standard class...)

so finally we are in and after 20 mins of movie is already passed...and get to see that Ardhnagan aamir is having bath in river while chanting some sanskrit....

my roomy is singing... "MANGAL...MANGAL..." in exact mimic of original... and thats when i started to dislike the song...

so finally we just escaped from the jail and watched a super crap movie for 210 bucks(my costliest ever...) while sitting in middle class...because i got myself robbed from a Drunkard person...Welcome to Delhi....




Kaand 2 : MI3


after mangal kaand i did went to priya for malamall weekly and got only front stall tickets and that too a side one(gandhi's idea) so watched it making very awkward angles of neck... it hurt for weeks...

and then after that last sunday went to see MI3 there. Seat status was blue but managed to clinch my tickets before it turned to red. checked tickets thrice... (doodh ka jala...)

entered quite early(5 mins movie to start)... located our seats... and sat...
me---arre yeh kya mujhe kuch gila gila lag raha hai...
roomy- wht??
m got up only to find that my jeans is dripping wet from behind... owing to pool of water( or may be coke)..on my seat....
sat on side seat... called up the lady who was helping in locating the seats...
she--- m calling up someone...
(movie started...)

person on whose seat i was sitting came and displaced me...(why this always happens to me...)

lady again came...

lady---- sit on the front row...(mine prev seat was 5th row....)...
i agitated...
lady---- wat could we do??? this is houseful show....
(5 min into movie--- villian is holding gun over a lady in front of cruise and counting and he is weeping...)

booohooo..(mujhe bhi rona aa jaata hai...)..so here we were again watching Tommy miyan doing his stunts... with neck in awkward positions...
neck is paining uptil now....

now situation is like that... if we dont get tickets on priya...(like recently with Krissh)... we felt relieved... pata nahi mil jaate to kya naya kaand hota....!!!!!!!!!
