OVER

ok.. enough now.. I am over this city's suburban area called Malad West. I am over the cramped buildings with flats that look like matchboxes, I am over the same design of houses with a hall as you enter, then a thin corridor opening to rooms on both sides.. I am over the autowallah saying no to any and every place. God only knows where they want to go, I am over the infinite stacks of stinking waste that is openly kept on streets for spoiling your fresh mood every morning, I am over the sudden downpour... I am over the small lanes with tiny shops on both sides... I am definitely over the slums and the choke they produce in my throat when I look at the kids there.. I am over the sixers begging on the signals.. I am over the whole IT crowd that works in Mindspace.. I am OVER OVER Inorbit ... I am over thinking of what to eat in the office cafeteria.. I am over saying 'How Are You' to people... I am over thinking of what to do on weekends.. I am over thinking of good places to eat... I am (not) over shopping.... and I still love the sea :)

Story IV

There are 2 types of people - Individualistics (I) and Collectivists (V). Basically I's are the one's who seek pleasure within themselves, not that they are Introverts, not at all. They interact in groups, they like hanging out, they also want to be around people but they don't seek approval and security from outside. They are happy being what they are and doing what they do. They like to take decisions without consulting too many people. Generally, these people gel with others nicely but are seldom part of one set group. They are independent thinkers and think that being in a group makes you dependent, bound and restricted.

On the other hand, V's are those that seem to be lost if they are not associated with any group. They want to always be with 'their' people around. Most of their decisions would go through that one group. The are often more flexible and adjusting people. Again, these can be introverts very well or be extremely extroverts.

Now both have their own positives and negatives. Where I's are often fast decision makers, more ambitious in life, they are often perceived as cold, rigid and detached. Similarly Vs are more composed, patient, caring but can be perceived as slow, dependent and too emotional.

Anyways my purpose of writing this blog was that I have identified that Im a big I and just wanted to share my observations...

Golmaal Replay

A true comedy of errors happened with me today... basically when I'm working in office many times it happens that I'm stuck on some issue and as soon as that gets solved, I want to celebrate it like anything.. like a movie or ordering pizza or dinner outside so this time it was movie.. I mailed my friends as to who would want to watch Golmaal-3.... so 4 of us were ready - Synti, Aman, Neelam and me. We went to Inorbit but what do we see.. the ticket is Rs. 280. I mean, 280 would be too much for this movie, we thought. Then Neelam suggested we should go to a nearby movie hall which is not a multiplex or anything and so would be cheaper. Then after some discussion, inertia won and we decided to go with Inorbit but we were late for Golmaal by 15 min. So we decided to watch Action Replay ..( I have started liking Akshay Kumar since Namastey London ). Action Replay was in screen -2. Now as soon as the movie started, Aman started saying its bore its bore, lets go to Golmaal. I was excited by the idea of switching a movie.. and everybody else was also ready so we came out. Now the screens in Inorbit are circular. On the right we had screen 1 and left was Screen -3. We went in 3 .. luckily some seats were empty and we started guessing what would have happened in the movie till now. Suddenly the movie ended!!!! We quickly came out, hiding our faces. Neelam and Synti went back to screen 1. Aman and I moved to Screen -4. Now we were quite confident that we were in the right place. We were enjoying the movie. After 20 min, the movie ended!!! LOL. We rushed out and moved to Screen -5 hoping that this would be corect but found that some other show of Action Replay was going on... Now only 2 screens were left, 6 and 1. Aman said he knew some english movie was going on in screen-6 so we ran towards screen-1. Finally we reached the correct place. This was the Golmaal we were looking for that had started 15 min before Action Replay but itw as already 1.5 hours now. We enjoyed the movie for 10 more minutes and then INTERVAL. But  we knew at least we can see the movie after interval.

Strange that there was nobody stopping us as we were changing places. I had a lot of fun!
