The Theatre Experience


 Most of us like to watch movies, especially in theatres. But only some are really lucky to get the opportunity to watch them in theatres. There may be many constraints viz. money, time, etc. But there is a problem with watching movies in theatres. Some people are not comfortable with the cheer and celebration of the crowd. They wait for OTT release and then watch. Me personally, am a person who opts to watch movies in theatre. 

So I find people citing two reasons to watch movies in theatres. One is, they want to experience the movies in the big screen with the speaker surround system. They feel that this would help them immerse themselves in the world of that particular movie they're watching. On the other hand, there are people who want to celebrate the movie by cheering at the appearance of their favourite characters or clapping at high moments, etc. They want to celebrate what they like, along with other like-minded people to feel a sense of bonding.

I think I belong to the second category. I still remember how I enjoyed the moment in theatre during Avengers: Endgame, when all the Avengers reappeared. But still, I have my criticisms on it. Firstly, just shouting and cheering continuously may work out for some, but may cause discomfort to others. They come for enjoying the movie experience, and people involuntarily end up disturbing them. I've heard once that one's personal liberty shouldn't disturb another's. 

Because what happens when the people express their discomfort is, people who are enjoying not only ignore them, but also go on to abuse them. Celebration is fine, but that being limitless leads to damage to a third party. On many occasions, fans have gone on to damage the theater property. And also, celebrating the movie or the actors is fine, as long as it's only inside the theater. I don't find it right for people to have huge cutouts, garlanding them and bathing them in milk to be appropriate. That is too much exaggeration!


Finally, I would like to say that watching movies in theatres is a highly enjoyable experience and would remain so if, people give people some space and stay within their limits👍

My Gap Year

 Hello people! Welcome to my blog. This is my first post and my hearty thanks to all you people for supporting it by visiting it. I am a first year under-graduate student of the course B.A. English Language and Literature. Today, I would like to share with you my journey towards choosing this course and how I have perceived it so far. To start with, I heard about this course for the very first time when I was in my eighth grade. It was suggested by my father at a time when I was on a spree of writing stories. Thise were neither short stories nor essays or poetry. Those fit in a category which is yet to be founded. I had then had a notion that I would go on to make those of my stories into films in the distant future, although now I laugh at myself for having such crazy ideas with those kind of stories. It was at that point of time when my dad suggested that I take up English Literature for my UG and then pursue Film Studies for my PG, reasoning that such a path could help me shape myse

Dad's Chicken Gravy

 Hello friends! Today I am going to share with you about my dinner experience and how it led me to do some things which were unusual of me. To start with, I was going home from college and I was terribly famished. As I went closer and closer to my house, I was thinking only about having anything to chew in my mouth. But unfortunately, I had no other choice other than the curd rice my mother had made in the morning. The side dish was lady's finger roast, which, too, I knew would have gotten over by the time I got home. So, it's just curd rice and nothing else to have for a side-dish. Now I do like curd rice, but having it without anything for a side dish makes me a bit unhappy. But just when I got home, I came to know that my dad had made chicken gravy for dinner. I was not a big fan of his chicken gravy till then, but this particular day, I don't know what got into me. I was hell-bound to have it. Coincidentally,  while having lunch with my friends, one of them mentioned ab

My ICA Enlightenment

 Hi people! Today, during my Allied Paper class, there were presentations being done by the candidates for their Internal Continuous Assessment (ICA) II. I too am assigned to the same professor to make my presentation, and I was really confused on how I was going to make my presentation. I had chosen Novel, to present for my CA II. I was confused whether I had to tell the summary of the novel, or do something else. Also, I have this very bad habit of unnecessarily complicating things instead of presenting them short and sweet. But today, I would say that it was an eye-opening session, since I saw my classmates do their seminars and some of them inspired me to a great extent. Previously, I had this notion of presenting either complicated concepts, or presenting simple ideas in complicated ways to make them appear valid. But today, I realized that that is not required. A simple and clear presentation would ensure a fine output. My classmates' presentation not only inspired me on how
