After the intermission when the movie refuses to begin?!?

Imagine, just imagine, you are seated within the comfortable air-conditioned confines of a multiplex enjoying the latest blockbuster......

Aha! This wishful thinking has already taken one away from the scorching 45 degrees Celsius and the routine of life per se!!!! Intermission happens just when you'd rather not have it; simply because your heavily-burdened mind is engrossed in this thriller  - and most willingly taken on the task of tracking the possible trajectory of the plot.

So, we rush like sprinters out there to win the race before the gluttonous multitude throng the snack-bar. Yay! Yay! I'm first - "I'd like to have a small coke and a pack of salted-caramel popcorn. Thank you."

Back in time to watch the second half, munching away at the corn like a kid whose just learnt the super-duper fast motor skill of moving one's hands between the popcorn bucket and the mouth. "The cola never tasted so yum before," you announce to the uninitiated, your partner while watching the movie as you silently pass off a burp with a silent remembrance of an adage - "It's better to burp and taste it than f--t and waste it!!!

Waiting in eager anticipation for the movie to begin, but it doesn't.... seems like some fault in the reels and the rolls and the..........

Ufffff! Exasperated? Definitely!

Stop a while and think - What if you didn't have the popcorn to munch away meanwhile? 

While we wait for what we've planned to watch as our supposed good life, are we missing out the popcorn bites and the wondrous sips of the cola???
