life time experience
This is exactly what i wanted to do atleast once in life, and it pops out of no where and in no time.
Day is sunday, ganesha chathurthi festival… Me an my friends made it Balaji theater in Viveknagar, decided on the fly.
We purchase the tickets and only then realise that there are no seat numbers printed on the ticket, which means only one thing…. Its catch me if you can scenario except that the seats are what need to be caught. I was surprised to the limit that such a theater still exists in bangalore. Guess what, we head to the entrance of the theater only to find a long queue aligned thanks to the metal railing.. 
. One of my friends jumps on the railing, makes it in to the hall. The rest of us squeeze through in the middle of the line, i have never ever entered a theater in this manner till date. There was just one lady in the entire queue, so u must be aware how wild and local the crowd should have been.
After a few minutes of struggle we made it to the theater, our pal who jumped first had reserved a row for us. The movie started and whistle rain was pouring even before vikram is on screen, the one feel u will never get in any damn mall. Movie was great with the crowd maintaining the whistle rain till the end, probably enjoyed the movie for that reason itself….. So any day u feel like having fun whilst watching a movie make it to Sri balaji, one hell of a place i am sure
Bala happy that he did some thing which he always dreamt of….. next up on list is the late night movie which is yet to be done, have a gut feeling it will come true soon.

Yep better late than never! I wanted to share my experience of one such instance.
Two years ago it so happened that there was a mad rush for tickets in a theatre and hence a big queue. We were in the queue just outside the gate. When the tickets started getting issued, cos of the pushing I had literally fallen into the drain.
But the best experience is trying to get a ticket for international cricket match. People ll be in the queue for 1 day almost !!
