Saturday started dull and lonely. Though I didn’t feel enthusiastic, I didn’t want to get depressed. So I dragged myself into doing one thing after another like washing clothes and grocery shopping. Nothing seemed to cheer me up and change my mood. That is when I got a call from a relative with whom I get along pretty well. ‘Hey the whole crowd is here, would you like to join us for lunch?’. They are in Bangalore but have a bungalow in Neelankarai and had come down for the weekend. It was actually 4 families together – 2 sisters and 2 brothers, one of whom got married recently. Thus started the fabulous family entertainment time.

After lunch and bit of a nap, we decided to go for a movie. Little debate and ‘Ullam Ketkumae’ became the choice of the crowd. 8 adults & 3 kids loaded into 2 cars headed to Mayajal for 19h30 show. It was the first time, I was going to Mayajal and I should say that it was pretty impressive. Not only outside but the theatres are equally impressive too. Wide screen, clean theatres and decent crowd makes the time really enjoyable.

The movie starts on the same note as of ‘Autograph’. Though I liked ‘Autograph’, it was bit boring in-between. However Jeeva knows to weave the story interesting, and highly complemented by an excellent cinematography. I could relate very well to the movie. It has everything that life offers – fun, tears, failure and success. I enjoyed the movie well. I should be honest though that few in our crowd didn’t like the movie much.

After dinner, I had a very interesting discourse on theology with one of the family member (He is my brother, by relation – he is married to my cousin). Little after midnight, I went to bed satisfied.
