Weekend @ ImaginAsian...

Yesterday was great...a really exciting friday....twas my first flick in nyc theatre ImaginAsian , 59th St..Well honestly the theaters in india have done quite well...PVR z are huge both in infrastructure as well as the experience.. ImaginAsian is smaller than a PVR or Adlabs but the best part of the entire evening was the mix we had yesday evening...The spicy tadka...Tthere was a motley of people in the crowd..New Yorkers who werent Indians but were with Indian friends..The subtitles do help them..Desis who are on business visas with their wives and family in tow..Couples socializing over a movie...30 something singles who immediately reminded me of Carrie , Charlotte , Miranda and Samantha of Sex and the City fame..Generally a huge crowd...all from different walks of life but mostly all desis...Some were the condescending desis who couldnt resist a snide remark or so at us for being so obvious and loud in the hall...but wat the heck ? Who cares ! We were a huge group of eighteen people and esp students...Arent we supposed to be loud ?! :-) Well we were loud but our intelligent inferences throughout the movie kinda sent their grey cells for a brainstorm ride and they quietly accepted that we had what mattered..
I loved the girls in accent who couldn't stop cooing over Abhishek Bachan..Ttats wat i like about handsome guys.Girls just cant stop drooling over them...Accent or no accent ! And to the added bonus the movie was too good...A real Ramu comeback..I guess genius always speaks thru actions and not thru words as some Khans would learn the hard way..They couldn't stop their malicious remarks...Wasn't easy to digest even though it had the disclaimer tag of being "meant to be rude".Overall we enjoyed like never before.And then we walked all the way back to 33rd street station loving every bit of the city as we always do..Bloomigdales , A&F,GAP,Banana Republic just lured our minds ; couldn't lure our pockets though...But the city breathes life and lets out steam(literally, u can see manholes pouring out steam from the subway).You fall in love with NYC right away...I guess NYC is my lady..Have to wait to see LA till i can croon the song LA is my lady.As of now i am gonna hold onto my love before i move on..

~A, unabashed lover of new york city
