I came back in the elderly chachas elderly ambassador. We tried to see the 7 tombs but it was closed. I had a ganna juice and then i came back to my luxury hotel room. After some food i decided to go and see the necklace road and other posh areas. So following the directions of the hotel receptionist i got in an auto. It was 25 rs to Imax.
I was going to see imax for the first time. Ppl have told me its once n a life time experience. The crowd was huge and posh. I was confused what to do as i didnt have an internet prior booking done for my show. But it was over the hedge in 3D. I took the ticket and then waited along with others. I was given one 3d glasses which seemsd pretty ordinary but once broken had a heavy duty fine on it. There was numbering on the ticket and my seat was unique.
I didnt know that either and sat on the top most seat. When others seemed particular about their seat, i check my ticket. it was a 2 digit numbering system which indicated the row and column of the chair position. I got into my chair ans watched in awe the size of the huge screen in front. It filled the whole view, i had to look to the sides to see the full picture. hmm..then the imax promo showed and then they put on spiderman 3 trailer.My first imax experience.
I put on the glasses and saw the film in its full glory. i had decided that i am gonna visit imax again tomorrow. The next day was the film 300 in imax. It was worth a million shows. One action packed movie and one huge screening..i enjoyed every bit of the action. It felt like i was in the film.
On the way back i had to catch auto. So i thought it would be 25 again. But alas it was 50. I started bargaining, but they all left when i started bargaining. Hmm..then i settled for 35 with one auto guy. He claimed that after 9 its night fare. The next day i had one good autoguy who told me his meter was the only genuine non altered meter. It didnt move in majority of the journey and i felt he was telling the truth. It showed 20 rs for the same distance that i followed the previous day. i gave him 25 anyways. He told me that if auto ppl demands more i should tell them to stop the rikshaw near a traffic police guy. They will get scared and will only ask genuine fare. I didnt want auto ppl to run me down so i thought may be its better to pay rather than to make them angry. But his advice really paid off the other day when i went to charminar.
Now was the trip to Ramooji film city…later ok!
