Chance Pe Sleep

It's hard to watch movies having a baby sitting beside. Being it in theater or at home, they simply don't allow to watch us movies. In fact, not only movies, it could be anything on tv. Children, especially babies, need your 100% attention. The very second it knows your concentration has drifted, you are in trouble.

So are we both. Its been ages that we both have enjoyed a complete movie in theater or on tv. Atleast Nanda hasn't. During my "married bachelor's" life of 3 months in HK, I have watched like hell. Most of my laptop's memory is filled with good/junk/time pass/romantic/thriller/mystery/comedy movies. I can manage watching them on laptop and no fetish to visit a theater. A different story with Nanda, unless she watches them on theater ,"there is no fun".

Just to give a try, I booked tickets for My Name is Khan and took Chinni along with us. The first half was simply superb, the movie and as well as dealing Chinni, because she was sleeping!!! No sooner the interval came, Chinni gave one to her sleep and hell broke out. I had to take her out and walk along the corridor. There were people waiting for next show, who played with Chinni and gave her lot of compliments. I enjoyed the compliments, after all she is my daughter :), but Nanda enjoyed the rest of the movie. I had told her to forget "movies in theater" for the next 5 year then. And now that we are in HK, its absolutely impossible.

Going with my decision to watch Chance Pe Dance on laptop, Nanda had no other option. So Saturday was the best day, sorry night. Chinni slept around 11 pm and night show started without pop corns. Reducing volume when a song came, increasing it when there were only dialogues, skipping song sequences, checking if sound was reaching Chinni were other things we did throughout the movie. Finally, the movie had a happy ending at 1.30 am. It feels good when you sit through the entire movie and happy ending is what you get!!! You deserve!!!

Okay, "what is this blog all about ?" might be your question. Here comes the main part of the story. Sunday morning 6 am, rings the alarm. Now nobody can make this alarm stop, because its none other than Chinni. "What do you expect Chinni ? Pappa and Ammi watched movie till late night. Please allow them to sleep for some more time honey" was our sincere plead, which was rejected promptly.

Message of the blog: Chance Pe Sleep. Just sleep when your baby is sleeping. Missing this opportunity is definitely asking for a trouble.
