I am never sure of achieving this goal when I took it upon me emotionally ... but still, I really long to be able to make it !!
Yes, I promised my beloved sister that I will see the English movies that she saw in the recent past - courtesy, the widened horizons of her teen age son.
For that matter until now, I have seen a maximum of ten English movies in my life so far (which includes Mechna's Gold, Jass and Enter the Dragon.....which I "seemingly" saw when I was a lad)....so to take up a goal to see 10 English Movies is definitely a stretch goal for me to achieve -before 31st Dec 11 !! But then, I have commited upon it....poor me...!!
Well, one is always feverish to achieve some thing quickly soon after taking such self imposed goals - I sacrificed meeting our mother last week and excused myself from her to reach the sister's house on a Saturday evening straight from office (which is just five kilometers away from parents home). Perhaps it was the first time I reached her home from office and staying in the night at her home was some thing I have never done earlier.....!! You see, its a compulsion of a goal...!!
After the dinner, we settled down in the computer room of her home which ensued a quick (healthy ?) argument between my sister and her daughter on which film to see !! I was so gullible and child like during this argument willing to accept any film that they decide to show me....only praying that they don't reach a dead lock situation and decide against seeing a film at all...!!
Before I could turn a really angry man, my sister super imposed her view on her daughter with her choice to see "twelve angry men" and my poor niece never could argue much as she had not seen it until then. Perhaps out of sheer tiredness and the overwhelming first time experience of having a visitor to their home with a sole purpose to see a "English" film she budged to this proposal and we saw this simply superb 90 minute film.
Lemme post the film review as a separate post after this; Pray almighty that AGANDAM gets pregnant with my film reviews of at least 10 English Movies which perhaps induces few more conservative people like me to start watching movies of different culture and get their horizons widened....!!
Krishnaarpanam....
