A while ago (let me put that in the ballpark of five weeks) someone told me that I have no life. Lone blogger posting at not-so-favourable times of the day does rack up the points on the side of the ahem, ‘accuser’ (too tired for thesaurus). But, I’d like to thank that person because from that day, I decided to make minor tweaks to what goes on around me and I’ve been the better for it.
The graveyard shift takes care that my night life is practically non-existent; but thank god for weekends. Funny thing though and I’m just going with the whole ‘tuning’ thing that’s been trending to say that switching tuning between weekends and weekdays is kinda impossible. I’ve tried and failed at it, multiple times. Imagine my surprise when I get a rather friendly message on on phone with the following message,
Atho, tonight?
I’m guessing you already know the answer to the question but then, out of want of keeping things a little interesting, I’m gonna let you, my dear readers, figure out what Atho is. The beach station was a whirl and thank god for coffee. One long walk through Burma Bazaar and back and we were ready to hit the tracks to get back. Interestingly, a phone call interrupts proceedings now,
Aranmanai, 10PM, how many tickets?
My friend replied two and we were on our way to the next railway station that would take us in the proximity of the theatre. A drunkard and a couple of good auto drivers later, we found ourselves at the theater, half an hour earlier that we anticipated.
Our curiosity got the better of us and we ended up learning the meaning for ‘Beware of Dogs’. That’s all I’m gonna say on that matter.
Three hours and a horror comedy later, the car sped along empty roads until, yes, the third of the trifecta that follows dinner and second show cinema; we got held up by cops. Owing to the fact that we were not drunk, the cop wished us a safe journey on the dangerous streets.
So, if that wasn’t a good enough day. Tell me something that would make it better.
Well then,
სანამ მომავალი დრო!
