Shopping for Diwali & watching movie

So yesterday i finally finally saw Munnabhai. The noon show was really crowded.

In the theater during the break we had some light entertainment offcourse thanx to a little boy.

So everyone who has seen a movie in India knows about the 'social messages' that are played on-screen during the break (also preceding the movie) like dont litter the environment, smoking is injurious to health etc etc.

This one was a poster about 'urinating in public places . Our little friend asked his Dad 'loudly', "Papa what does this message say?"

Rather embarassed the man said, "Cant you read?"

To which the boy had this to say, " Arent we supposed to go to toilet now?"

That drew a chorus of laughter from everyone. Very amusing!!! :D

Adter the movie we went shopping for a 'Kandil'.

Hmm at Citylight we found the one we had seen earlier. This guy said 70, we thought we'd find a cheaper one ahead.

There we found same make of Kandil only Rs. 100! Discouraged we went till Ranade Road!

After a little bargaining we bought the same Kandil outright for Rs. 60!

Talk about swindling customers in India! :(

Also near Citylight we spotted the most fab. diyas, kandils, rangoli makers...

Diwali shopping is great, looking forward to some more. :P
