Old age Cinema Theatre

It was long time since i started blogging. "Never think of the past unless the experiences matter to increase my present speed or way of working- self ". I doubt, what new experiences i can give to the people who might be happy to read and keep in touch. That could be something which prevented me to blog for a while.
Yesterday was my memorable day, since i decided to step out of my tiredness of continuous Channel surfing, yesterday's Client visit, driving about 100 kms in the chennai highway with the rain and building a small dam in front of my house to prevent the water getting into my home (even though i joined at the last moment).
Let me start my purpose of being here. I decided to watch the movie " Kandein Kadalai( I found my love)" which was remake from hindi "Jab we met( i am weak to translate here)". The theatre i decided with the purpose that nearness to my home(Guindy), should have good sound effect and decent A/C. There was one i come across in Nanganallur area. so with ease, i reached the theatre and asked them when can i enter inside the hall after seeing it locked from inside. There comes the shock of the day it would be 1830 hours. I have 1 hours 15 minutes of time to pass in the outskirts area( the place doesn't appeal to you that you are inside the metropolitan space, probably i am exagerating but believe me, i am true many a times). so i decided to search for an ATM where you could find one definently in such places( i found SBI ATM there). so with patience, i was waiting for my turn even though there were only three people standing in front of me. Then went for a fruit juice. I was looking for a temple too then decided that let me try visiting the theatre to see the crowd status so that i should not be the one come first but ended up taking a ticket by paying a bribe(here at any case you have chance to get ticket, like our college you have far less chance of getting a U grade).
I have option of choosing where i can sit inside the big hall. They have classified as First class, Balcony, Box(Private space inside a public hall) and ladies(it remembers my stay in saudi where girls were considered as special, protected under their father and then husband). so all the steel wire branches into a box like the way everyone needs to report ontime of your duty. I was seaching for the place to get second class ticket( as per the tamil nadu theatre act who are suppose to have a row or two for some previleged people where they can watch their favourities at quite a short distance and in a zoomed manner) many fans still prefer to have the own place so that they can show their talents infront of the whole group. People keep distance with such row of peoples as it is assumed they going to spoil the show atleast during starting or when ever their favourite hero or heriones shows their marvels.
Ticket counter resembles me like a old man beard where some will be rich, poor or very poor. I was assuming atleast two persons will distribute the tickets. I assume the person should be close associate to the owner from the way he expresses himself to the common passes. It was a concept that the box class and balcony will be considered in priority so that they can have the privelage of entering first to the show hall, sometimes he didn't bothers to have a look on the ladies classes. However the first class people are left aside.

Dont ask me , How about the second class? i still searching for the location. Poeple where loosing patiences but this man was cool in discussing local news and the non-stop raining with his neighbours as if can multi-tasks. There was an VIP line too, those who come by main door introduce as relative or friends and take the ticket with ease. when the ladies counter drained down, first class decided to enter there as they can look into the eyes of the ticketer now and he decided to do his skills with box/balcony and first class.

There was also a request from a stranger who have seem to come with his family so he is looking a temporory friend who can help him in saving his time of standing in the queue. so i got his attention and conveyed him to watch me whenever i am leaving this counter with a ticket.

Now a noisy generator in the counter area started with a big noise( probably brought during industrial revolution happened in India) after a short power cut. so its still difficult for people behind him to say what they need. It was luck-come-pressure to get what we needed at that moment. I was thinking , am i going to be unlucky one there. I was saved because the power released me and that thunderbird stopped for a while when i was before him to say i need six in the place of two. I am lucky enough to have ticket and my friend's share too.
I searched for the friend and handed the tickets expecting a poor thanks as if i have achieved a bravery act(what else i can think during that time).
Ticket doesn't carry any seat number, so i have freedom to choose where i can seat. There you need to be careful about choosing your neighbour as they can make the time worser than the worst movie you can watch. I too got one behind me, as there was a request to keep my head down below. I was about to reply to his request, i dont mind if we can exchange our seats so that i can say the samething to my friend during that time. I know it is too much to raise such issues. we create some bold with unknown people during such temporary moments.

"You can read the review of the movie much better than the way i can explain. "

Show completed, now I need to get away in the crowd where only one door will be opened as if there is a dam where they take power by pressurising water. The concept applies here to test your patiences and watch your neighbour as if we have rare chances of meeting them once again.

I started my bike, there is one more that you are suppose to return the token. Incase you are unlucky to miss the token, try handing over a some paper of the similar size and tell him it was took my other men. obviously, you need to spend some time with the poor chap when you lost one as they are sharp shooter( they are poor that they can't partipate in any sports other than talking to you for the paper called token).

This is my suggestion to all old age cinema theatre owners from my over all experiances,
1. Sons/Daughter of the age old theater owners, you need to think beyond your father experiences otherwise chances that your places might get converted to a godown or apartments complex.
2. give way for the people who arrives first which ever classes he intended to sit in your hall.
3. please mention the show time clearly with a clock for the ease of his relaxation( most of the bachelors avoid seeing the time its only the girl friends who remains them that they are the one think of them at all moments)
4. do something on the floor inclination so that i need not have to bend my neck for the sake that i was born taller than the poor chap behind me.
5. Please have adequent space for the visiting rest room, please please use good infectants and bigger snacks area.
i dont want to speak about your fees collected for each item.
6. Do some stickering concept on the vehicle to identify who has paid the fees than old paper called token and feel them to avoid worrying for the same when they come outside the hall.
Even an camera in such places can help to have history in case of any unwanted events.

It would not be that difficult to give a try to give a wonderful experiances to people like to visit the place for their entertainment once in a while.

Got Caught near Chennai City centre

I was happy today that i could get some interesting books to carry forward for more months while i travel or pass my time when i got have television or interesting topic to speak with friends. i took these books( I've got your back- Brad Gilbert, The Practise of Marketing- Shyamal Ghose, Serpent in the bosom- lenard J cohen) from City Centre and ready to drive back to office.

when u happen to see the green light its general tendency to pass. but we didn't notice that there is a manual intervention waiting before us. yes, traffic police who was holding the switch to change the signal unfortunately initiated and we didn't noticed in that quick moment.

we need to park our vehicle under his command. our real negotiation started. we have checked for all papers and following came out from his( His name is Mr. Karuppuswamy means Black colored god) mouth

1. disobeyed traffic signal
2. bike insured got expired

in total , we need to pay 1100 as per the chart with him. we were objecting to it saying that considering weekend we are going to renew on monday and traffic signal change is not our fault as i didn't see any orange indication for it.

so we ended up bribing him for Rs.50 ,i released that i am wasting half KF laguar to unknown idiot. never mind, i thought i will be careful next time.

when i was counting , this is 4th time i am ended up paying bribe. i know, my conscience objected me that i should have acted smartly. Sorry Dad, i will be careful next time.
