Going for a movie alone
Yesterday was Monday and an assignment deadline day. i had 3 assignments to submit and didn’t think I would be budging out of my chair till midnight. Come 10.40 and i had miraculously finished and uploaded all my assignments. and so I thought I should reward myself by going for a movie. Called Ekta and her phone was not reachable, Neera and she had people over for dinner - she did ask me to come over but I had my heart set on a movie - so down the list I went - called Vispi and she was already in bed and the thought of Ghost rider was definitely not appealing! of course since Rashmee had recommended it - I wanted to go. Since all my current movie buddies were unavailable and it being 10.50 I decided to go for the 11.00 show. Alone!the next day all the above-including Rashmee – strangely enough felt sorry for me!! Going to the movies alone is not that socially stigmatizing. Think about it.. you’re not there to talk anyway. The only time you’d possibly feel alone is while you are driving and even then you have your mobile to chat while you drive!!!
