First Night Out In UK


This had been coming for a few weeks now but none of us had been pushing the plans ahead until yesterday.
My friends and more importantly Dinner-Mates (from the plain logistics of where we are) had decided that we need more canned food to sustain us until the end of our Term 1 exams, so all of us had been suggesting the idea that we should go to FolesHill to buy some inventories. FolesHill particularly not because we have a love of that place, but because its the only nearby place from where we can buy any decent food that we are used to (rice, cooked canned vegetables not boiled stuff that is so easily available from Tesco or Costcutter).
I had been reluctant initially, don't ask me why, because I don't know myself-just didn't feel like. Anyways I realized soon enough that my friends wanted to go and my hesitation would have been an obstacle since there was a lot to buy and not many hands to carry the stuff. So I pushed ahead with the idea of the trip to FolesHill and it was all decided in 15 mins.
The idea of the trip was nothing more than buying groceries, but new plans started to merge with it, and yeah they turned out to be rather welcome. Dinner at a restaurant and a movie at the cinema, yes we went to the cinema with all the bags.
I had expected that Om Shanti Om (the Indian movie) would be a complete time pass and lots of fun- yes I was wrong! It was emotionally very overwhelming, I was taken back in time and soon forgot where I was. Sharukh Khan's acting was brilliant and so was the new actresses', I can't remember if I have seen a better performance from him till date. The desperation in the scenes and the struggle was brilliantly performed, I could feel the pain, the struggle within me.
The movie turned out to be a mixture- a mixture of humour, emotion, thrill and yes horror.
We returned back at around 12.30 in the night and yeah, the trip was well worth the time and money spent.
