Impossible is nothing

Actually the title for this post should have been “impossible is nothing”, but I kept it the other way. It’s just to save this beautiful catch line of Nike football ads in my memories.

This Friday Golmaal was released.
As last week we dint watch any movie in theater, this week it was almost compulsory for us to do so. As no other good movie was released this week, we thought Golmaal would be a great option.

So here we were, on a Friday night, trying our luck to get tickets in PVR. Getting the movie tickets for Friday shows is next to impossible in PVR. Still we went there. No surprise in offering there. All the shows were sold-outs. So one day over in the weekend without movie. so sad for us!!

We took a brave (coz we never our so sure about our plan the next day) decision and decided to buy tickets for show on Saturday night. And to our luck, they were available. I took out the card and paid for them. Three of us were so happy that finally we would watch movie this weekend. That too Golmaal.

Come Saturday evening, as usual we had dinner at home and left for Forum. We reached Forum and rushed towards PVR, not enjoying the usual fun of forum. We don’t like to miss the advertisements and trailers.

And then it happened. When we were entering the theater, the guard at the gate got confused and started checking the ticket again and again. After some confusion he let us enter. But his action sparked something in my mind. I decided to have a look at the ticket.
And what I see – the ticket was for the show timed 10.00. phew, It was absolutely clear by now. We had got the tickets for morning show instead of evening. Shucks.. what to do now? We went and talked with the person in charge at PVR. As all the shows were full, he apologized that he could not do anything.
It was our own fault that we dint check the tickets properly so we could not blame anyone else. After all this, we left for home with our heads down. 450 Rs wasted by a silly mistake, moreover we still had not seen the movie. Would we be able to break this virginity barrier this weekend or not?

Come Sunday, it was a lazy day. With all the usual house chores. Again we decided to watch the movie. Same movie but different theater this time. We took the news paper and found all the possible option. Only two choices left for us INOX and REX. We chose INOX and called them. And to our luck, the lady on the phone said, she could book the tickets for us. And within next few moments we were again happy that finally we would watch the movie.

Again after all the indispensable wait, we reached INOX. First to the ticket counter. And here came the second blow. The guy at the counter told us that they never had any tele-booking. We were shocked, still maintaining our cool, we showed him the number were we had called in noon. He said it was not their number. At one side my friend was trying to find out where we had booked the ticket, on other side I was trying to see if there were any tickets available in INOX.

No good luck again, all the shows were sold-out. And then we found out that actually we had booked the tickets in Innovative. All the events of the previous day started coming in front ofour eyes. It was happening again.

What a silly mistake. Again we were heart-broke. But by this time we were like the frustrated lover, whom all his girls have ditched. So we finally vowed to watch the movie, only in theater and that too ASAP.

Next destination was REX. It had a show at 9:30 pm and that was our last hope for the weekend. But at first, no good news there also. Show was tagged house-full. In our desperation to watch the movie, we were ready to buy the tickets in black also. So we approached the guy. He showed us the attitude like he was the ultimate god. I got so pissed off that I moved away from him.

My friends were still thinking what to do. Suddenly I saw the thin ray of hope. It was actually a thin ray of light coming from the ticket window. The guy sitting inside was talking to someone standing outside the window. And then suddenly two tickets came from inside and reached the outsiders hands. I became so hopeful that I reached the window and asked loudly “Golmaal??” “How many?” asked the other voice from behind the window. “4” I said. He said 130 each for a 120 Rs ticket. I was out of my mind coz of happiness. I said give me them immediately. We paid him and entered the theatre.

Wow..What a satisfaction!!!

Finally we saw the movie. How the movie was an altogether a different question. But the satisfaction of actually watching it after so many blunders was really something out of this world.

Moral of the story:

1. Check your ticket thoroughly at the ticket window and then only leave the window.
2. Check the number properly before dialing and ask for the place’s name first.
3. Nothing is impossible. You an do lots of mistakes, still win the game.
