Armageddon, just for the record...

Anyways, getting on with stuff, this incident happened a few days ago but I wanted to keep a record of it on the net so that I could read about later and laugh my head off....



So we wanna see a movie right.... We decided to go for 'Sarkar' a Bollywood version of 'The Godfather' with Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role... We heard it was a good movie and the promos sure lookeed really good. Ahem. We decided to set out for the movie (my first mistake) on a Sunday afternoon (my second mistake) by train. When we got to the station, we found that the trains weren't running because of some repair work going on and wouldn' t start till 4 PM. It was about 2:30 PM then, and the movie was to start at 3:00 PM. My friend really wanted to see the movie, so he insisted on taking a cab (he agreed to foot the bill). We eventually reached the theatre by 2:50 PM (and then I realised my second mistake). Ahem, the movie is a total hit, was just released, and we went on a Sunday afternoon, without prior booking (I'll take that Nobel prize for idiotic behaviour now, please). With shattered dreams we decided to go chill at a mall. After spending a couple of hours over there, at 4:20 PM, we reached the TRAIN station and found out that there was a huge, HUGE crowd waiting for the trains to start aince 3:00 PM. When I say huge, I mean the type of crowds you see in Bombay during Ganesh Chaturthi :-(. After a lot of roughing it out, we managed to get into the first train that came by (wohhhooo!!!!). We got a huge jolt when we found out that the number and flow people coming in at the place we had to get off, was so high that getting out was virtually impossible. We were sweaty, angry, hungry, and not sure wether we had enough money to make it home from the next stop; a dangerous combination. It was time for some shameless pushing, shoving and screaming. I got off first and had to pull my friend out of the train entrance, where he had got stuck... With both feet firmly on the ground, both of us took deep breaths and exhaled - finally at peace. Our spirits were high when we strolled out of the station and walked towards our place. But alas! Our miseries were not yet complete... As we exited the station, a stupid crow swooped down, blessed my friend and flew off. @#@^#%@^%@^%#$@^#^$@^#$@#@#@!#. For a second, we just stared at each other, and I started laughing out loud. Laughing at both of us, at sheer coincidence. This had to be aramageddon man... whatever.

#@%$$@%@#$@# PHew... I needed to get that out of my system....

And thats that.
