smell sound and sights of 8th cross malleswaram cannot be beaten during festival season.Walking down the road this evening affirmed it more.It has been many years since i've felt a festival triggered high. The general feel good cheer factor.The "series lights" hung up above ( how safe i dont know!) throughout the length of the road. Stores playing loud music each clashing with another and of course totally irrelvant to Ugadi occasion.Songs like baanallu neene, aakashave belali mele etc. some instrumental and then suddenly "collegeu gate nalli chombeshwara" . The kharga dancers (why? i dont know but nobody seems to care about y ...vonly nodi yenjaay maadi maydaam). Typical smell emnating from the ubiquitous chaat shops. the unmistakble smeel of paani + pineapple juice together. Every1 seemed happy. even the grumpy veggie vendors. Saree stores sales man (can u belive?)
That is something i have found most annoying so far. the indifference and rude behaviour. I mean come on i am ur customer. u have to give me swalpa ok ishte ishtu swalpa attentionnu guru. Of how being below average and most times bad is accpetable. we went to watch a movie and as i do bfore i leave the house i had mentally readied myself that it will b nothing like i imagine it to be (ok go figure what i meant there ??).
We paid a lot of money n bought coke+popcorn . both were hopeless. I mean coke tasted diluted n was without fizzz and the popcorn.. ok forget it. i just had dinner.When i asked the guy @ the counter he is laughing @ me n saying "night show maydum en maadana",(what night show? i asked u abt bad popcorn?) Interval was very weird. how can u cut the thot process like that? i mean really now is a glass of fizzed out coke+non crispy odd smelling popcorn more exciting than the movie? It really felt very weird after many movies without them. Did i find it odd that there was no interval when i first watched a movie in NZ? dont know. shud have known. but no.
That is one of the reasons i want to write these small things down. i will forget in a few days. like i forget EVERYTHING all the time.
Anyhoo malleswaram was nice today. Did lots of shopping jumping onto the festival bandwagon. have a card will ujju n buy ;). was it needed? not really but then its UGAAAAAAAAAADI. (really do i care abt ugadi? but its total majja to see a busy market work magically fine. the people keep walking , cars keep moving on the same road at the same time (how?). Every1 gives discount, no one is rude and its my daughter's first celebration of a festival. She thinks it means getting gifts n eating jamoons and lighting agarbathis. lots of all of them.
