indeed splendid day

reached late at the station,hurriedly got into the 3 wheeler and sped to the theater where my friends were waiting. constant calls asking' did u leave?'' where have u reached?'' how much time will u take?' were not helping me either to stay calm. through the way i was thinking finally i will meet my friends after a long vacation...:) the thought has always been the secret of my energy:)

as usual friends greeted not with 'hi, hullo' but it was like 'uncle isi ka ticket hai, moti kitna time lagta hai? chal movie start ho chuki lekin gujju mein".' ??????' was my reaction.

gaily we entered the theater and on the ramp itself held ourselves straight for the national anthem. this anthem was different. not just with some alterations in music but also it was by the deaf -dumb kids. the passion shown by the kids (under 13), the effort to show it effortless deeply touched me. i felt proud of them and felt myself blessed.

with the given 'chasma' as one of my friends call it we were to see this cutest movie 'KUNG FU PANDA 2'....WOW

from start till the intermission i was fascinated by the direction,the animation , the lively characters, colors,action and the various fun elements of the movie. for kids it was actual treat to the eyes.they were laughing, making sounds,yelling as the effect seemed to engulf us. y i said intermission because till fifteen min after the movie started again i was searching for my 'chasma' which i thought to have been taken away by friends for prank but was found hiding underneath the chair between the adjacent one..i know i missed some of the beautiful effects by then:(

the army of devil peacock, the dragon warriors PO, tigeress, master SHIFU,the adopted dad i would say MR. PING are so well characterized. they seem soft stuffed toys as the stitches of the joints were visible.

movie also held the message of searching for your INNER PEACE. i doubt how the kids must have taken it as the landscape and architecture along with the picturization kept them fantasizing but its something we must learn. though it was shown dramatically with the fireball in real life we too need to find that tool that weapon within us to fight back and its mostly the peace that helps. for this i will have to write a new philosophical blog :P

all thanks to jennifer nelson and dream works animation for coming up with this splendid sequel worth watching with my dearest buddies..
