Dare to watch a movie alone???

The question for all of you today is have you ever watched a movie alone?? Let me make a guess , for most of you it would be a NO , I know quite a few people who have done this or like watching movies all by themselves and count me one among them. Now most of you would pity me and people like me and talk in hush voices " poor girl didn't have anyone to go with or something like this" how can she go alone, that's not how its done" .Well please don't pity , because such things don't deserve pity , I am for matter of fact proud that I can watch a movie alone , how many of you can do that???
 I don't do that or I ll speak for the people like me, we don't do that because we don't have company , this might be the case when genre is animation or horror for few but otherwise its a choice that we make.
It starts with that urge to experience how it feels like to sit in the Hall alone while everyone else  has come with someone or bunch of them.
SO this journey of watching a movie alone begins with this thought backed up by the circumstance or the choice ,few book online but you would always always get a seat, there is  always one seat somewhere in the middle or the corner of the hall waiting for people like US even when the movie is going houseful.
The person at ticket  counter will confirm twice " Madam, one ticket ? followed by a dieing ONLY, the people standing next to you raise their eyebrows trying to figure out if they heard it right , if you are able to ignore their expression and still feel good you have crossed the most dreaded part of doing this UNTHINKABLE thing.
The waiting Area is the 2nd battle ground which can be won by playing temple run on your phone or checking out - people,  arguing couples, irritated mums.  As soon you see the food counter  buy a big tub of Pup-corn or Nachos and its a bliss as no-one is there to dig their hands, spill it and disturb you , its always advisable to buy it in the beginning as you tend to get too comfortable and would feel lazy to get up during the interval and wait in the never ending  line.


If you are  late and if most of the people have settled in their seats , you ll  have a tough tough time , specially for a girl, yes even in a Movie hall ( Well its a tough world for us and people say its always easy for women without thinking twice ), Uncle and Aunties will look at you and whisper among themselves, couples generally ignore as they are too busy playing with each others hand , the guys hope that the vacant seat next to them and the no. on  your ticket match and you will hope for no baby on the Next seat!! Imagine so much happening in a movie hall !!

Once you have figured out the seat and got comfortable with the popcorn tub and no baby scenario its an END to the otherwise chosen AGONY. The movie starts and you  relish the pop corn and the fact no one is there to ask if she/he missed a dialogue, no one is there to dig hand in the tub, no one is there to pass a comment on some scene , its a total BLISS.
The intervals are irrelevant as people are busy taking turn to the washroom or buying snacks for the wailing kids. The 2 hours or more just fly away as you were engrossed in the movie and its time to leave , no nothing happens now, everyone is too busy talking about how bad or good the movie was and you are lost in your own world.
If you are scared of doing this even if you want to , then don't be, people wont eat you up , and you cant and wont feel lonely as its India , first time might be little awkward as we have the habit of going with some one or other but you will get over it and you ll enter the world of " watching movie alone".

Neither its compulsory to do this, we do it for the joy that comes along with the choice. Its fun , isn't it?? I know few argue that " why would you want to do something like this?" and I answer back there is no reason ,you just try something and you don't see any harm in it and thus you do that again and again. And this not at all mean we watch all movies alone, we enjoy going out with friends and family as much we enjoy doing it alone.
If you can watch a movie alone, you can do anything alone, you get that confidence , we are always in the need of company , hardly we believe that we can do something like this alone,  people fear being alone as its associated with loneliness and loneliness is actually under rated.

The worst that can happen to you is "" UMmm, you would never want to do it" yes, that's the worst and that's not worse then the fact that you always wanted to try it but couldn't.!
So, go out, get out of your comfort Zone and buy just  one ticket for yourself, its all about the experiences we have, ISNT IT??

Till then HAPPY WATCHING!!
