Near death

Hard to describe the BLACK day. Me and mom were returning home from a long trip by train. we reached up on the railway foot over bridge. Both of us had huge bags. The bridge was damn crowded with ppl comin' in from all sides. and just in the midway i lost complete control of my bag. It was being pulled in the opposite direction. mom was way somewhere ahead. I decided to let go of the bag and get outta the crowd or else i'd be in a huge stampede. But it was more and more difficult to move.
i'thought this was it, my last day on the planet. then i saw my mom struggling in the crowd moving towards me. a look at her i gave me some courage to move ahead and finally we were out of the whole mess. in a few minutes cops took control of the situation. We began descending 20 mins later.

After some time we got to know the reason for this mad rush.
The announcements for 2 long route express-trains was incorrect, and was corrected later, causing havoc.
Whatever the reason. i sincerely thank GOD for saving me and my mom that day.

Hi this is for the crazy movie channel viewers!!!!

Hi all,

All right!!! Theres a limit to everything. Take for example, the good ol'movie "Terminator" and its sequels, aka T1 T2 T3.

I have seen these tonnes of times, on Star movies and also on HBO. Actually what i think is, that there's a secret pact, between both the above channels in India. Either its a cold war or else they have nobel thoughts of thoroughly educating the viewer, on all the aspects of the Terminator character. Thus when T1 is playing on Star movies... T2 is being telecast on HBO, simultaneously... Really!!! I mean it. It has happened all the time. Similarly vice versa is also true.


Same is the case with the "The Mummy " and "The mummy returns". They too are always being telecast parallelly.
Such is the height of repeatation that, me and my younger sister mute the volume and start saying the dialogues for the characters. Now, you might ask.. why they hell do we bother to watch it then? The simple answer is... all this is fun. Consider this, we can say whatever dialogues, (mostly inappropriate and out of context ones) we want during the scene (since we know what the next frame will be). We can learn a lot by looking at the guys other than the main characters. eg. in T2, do we look at the video games machines and the games they are made for while watching for the first time or second. Thankfully now we can!!!

So the basic point here is, (actually theres no point to all this, but i didnt find a way to conclude this) although these channels earn money .. .they do so by educating the ignorant masses like us. So one day when these movies are added to the school syllabus... we will surely excell.
Bye.
