Never before I felt hungry, So hungry that I just could not eat anything that was kept before me. This was me feeling on 11-11-11:11-11(November 11 2011 @ 11-11 PM) What Happened!!! Here is the story......

I was so stressed out for quite some time that I wanted to freak out. Not a usual movie goer, but as a chennaite, I was not left with any other choice. Going to movies is the only recreation around here. So today after last year's AVATAR @ Satyam Cinemas, we decided to go to PVR to watch some movie, but this time we did it with a difference.

Well, its just that we saw two movies back to back. Movies were not that great but, just to make it a day, we decided to do it so.

So there we were in the early hours of dawn of 11-11-11 we booked the tickets for "7 அம் அறிவு" and "The adventures of Tintin" and to make things more interesting, I had the beautiful thought of having dinner outside. A nice huge dinner buffet!!!

The plan was plotted, it was perfect, We start by 2.30 and make it to Tintin, then watch "7 அம் அறிவு" and then have dinner (Buffet was my idea and it was just an idea not put out in words), and then get a barbie for Dheera and return home. I had to give her a gift and I had not yet made the purchase.

As preparation for the buffet, which was cookin in my mental realm. I had kept my breakfast to a mere minimum of a dosa and milkmaid, skipped a  biriyani for lunch and, so that the buffet dinner would be easier to handle.

It was 3.00 and still Alwin had not come, I was not actually keen on the movie but had "GREAT EXPECTATIONS"  for buffet dinner, I was  keeping the cool even if he was late to pick me , withstanding the  longest route  he was taking  in spite of arriving late, and  holding on even when we were almost missed out half of the movie being forty five minutes late

At the entry of the theater room, we realize we did not have the tickets.So we were late, we did not have tickets. Wow so Uneventful. We somehow managed an entry, and  groped about in the dark for our seat, and finally heaved a sigh of relief after getting seated comfortably in our seats. But anyway, I kept telling myself, the best is yet to come. "Our Dinner buffet"

 

I was so much preparing for the dinner, that I even shunned the pop corns in the movie complex. Just wanted to keep my stomach empty that I could enjoy the buffet. But never was this idea put into Alwin's head. That was exactly what I missed in the course of my preparation. Later, regretfully much later I understood, that the idea of dinner itself had not crept up in his mind. 

Both movies were over, we had a nice time. and we were getting back home. It was a late drive and the restaurants in the cinema complex were closing down. Feeling disheartened that I would not be having a buffet, since it was already late,  I just wanted to eat something, hoping something nice during closing would do. 

We left the complex hurriedly planning to pick up something on the way, as I had to visit office and then get back home. So we planned on a dinner at Sangeetha near office. By the time we returned from  office Sangeetha was closed. 

I suggested Radisson, My hopeful heart flickered,  at least we could have an exotic dinner,  if it  not a Buffet, but  the flickering died  when Alwin drove past the restaurant for a much humbler place "Balaji Bhavan". I knew, I should have had those pop corns, my biriyani, coffee, I should have had  everything I had wanted to the whole day. I knew, we were going to go home without having any food. It was late almost midnight, and Balaji Bhavan would be closed by the time we reach.  And here am I  regretting that I had gone hungry the whole day just for some dinner buffet which never happened.

Just as I had thought, It was completely dark and all the hotels were closed. I was seething inside. I was hungry, 

 So hungry and disheartened  returned home as an angry bird. . This was me on  11-11-11:11-11(November 11 2011 @ 11-11 PM)
