To get Entertainment Sake

My father and paternal grand uncle were living together at our village when I was studying in my elementary type. There were few children in our family. Given it was a small village, there was no activity for us other than playing some indoor video game titles. No television or video games were there then. The only entertainment for us was to go for a dvd occasionally. Unfortunately there was no theatre in the village. We had to go to a neighbouring town, which is three kilometers away from our community. Going for a movie for us was not as easy as most people thinks. After much persuasion our mothers and fathers used to give their consent so sadly, as they knew that it would involve a new marathon effort by them. So even though agreeing to take us to the movie, many people always would look for some flimsy coffee grounds to cancel the programme by featuring our minor injuries, which happened even though we play, or possibility of rain on that particular day. Since there was no shuttle bus facility available to the neighbouring village, they'd to depend on roofed bullock cart (in tamil it is called 'Koondu Vandi'), that is the cheap mode of transport offered with that time. They had to prepare the bullock carts well in advance to keep it ready for the vacation. They also had to make the bullocks in a healthy condition and also make them to wear iron shoes and boots. They had to prepare the driver who drs the bullock cart to be available on this day. Many times our journey was identified as off as the driver failed to turn up upon that auspicious day. Once we had to give back half the way because the bullocks refused to search further. So many times our [--Entertainment--] trip happened to be an unpleasant one. But it certainly not deterred our enthusiasm; we always used to tell our parents whenever we came to know that clearly there was a good movie screened in the neighbouring small town. After few years, a touring talkie seemed to be opened in our own village. We imagined that it would put an end to all our ordeals and anxiety and also would give a great pain relief to our parents. Of course , our parents became a relief, as they no longer required to pay for marathon journey for us. But our enjoyment of enjoying a movie was short lived. Most of us realized that watching a movie in a touring talkie is really a Herculean task. Once we went for a movie, but returned without seeing the movie as the theatre owner informed us that merely because did not get enough crowd, could not function the show. Once we returned disappointed, since the reels containing the box, which was to come from neighbouring town, did not reach. Once we absent for a movie for the noon show at 2 P. M. but returned in 2 A. M. as they took great deal of time in pasting the reels which familiar with cut off every ten minutes run. Even as had enjoyed only half the movie seeing that heavy rain interrupted and the whole put became a pool (! ) Now I am amazed to see the developments happened at this time there. Almost every house has telephone and Big t. V sets with cable connection. They are really enjoying the movies at the comfort of their painting room. Even they demand the movies in their choice. Most of the houses having computers having Internet connection.. Hollywood movies are available through Computer games. What a change! Earlier we were running for any entertainment. Now entertainment knocks the doors of your homes. Article Source:
