What started as a movie...
Mark had just got back from Chennai, he was describing his experience in one of the local theaters
screen fades away.....slowly....
amidst all the incense.....there apperars....Man and Woman...sitting in lotus position before their god deep in worship, slowly begins as deep resounding chanting of some sort, reaching a hip pitched creshendo....screen fades away...Music...asthough coming from a road side ill fitted band of some sort
...pee..ppp..pee...ppp...
neon lights blind the screen for what appears to be hidden , the sillhoute of a think dark man...immediately what follows below
.......S....U.....P.....E.....R.....S.....T....A...R..........swish.....R.....swish...A...swish....J....swish...I...swish...N...swish....I...swish...K...swish....A....
swish....N...swish...T....swish....H
What follows in the theater is some what undescribable. There is frenzy in the audiences, with prefetti and hats being thrown about, suddenly I get this feeling that I can smell milk, lots of milk. To my dismay..they seem to be bathing the screen with milk. I wonder what the F*** is happenig here. I can just sit back and wait for the movie to get started and get on with it..but hey...why is it taking so long....geee.....the guy form the projector room seem to be preciding over the funfare....I wait for 15 min for the movie to begin.
The crowd has fallen silent and the movie begins....Screen opens....Pumpkin thrown in the air....the man who had apperared in the sillhoute arrives...jumps.....breaks open the pumpking with his head...gives this wide smile and folds his hands in greeting.....claps and whistles all around......
....then I say Mark...
"Did'nt u see me whistling in the seat ahead of you"...."Thalaiva"
