polar express

i was so busy last week with synopsis writing and
corrections that I had little time to check mails .. leave
alone blogging.
Last saturday, i invited all my x-batchmates for looking
around IIT and see the film Polar express. Only a few turned up.
Leng, Sudhindrudu, Harikesh, Pandu (junior) . they all were
there by 6:30 in the evening (sudhindrudu came late .. 8 pm .. he
had some work till then.). Hairkesh was the first to arrive in
his car with pandu.(5:35 pm). Before that in the evening I called him
up thrice saying different dos and don'ts in IIT and how to reach
my hostel. He assured me confidently that he'll turn up on my door step.
And he got lost and went to Ganga hostel which was supposed to be
a dead end and he called me from there. I went and got him to my
room. Guyz really think that IIT is some sort of place u can't do
whatever u want.. u know a sort of high security sector, Leng turned up
on his bike (with an mp3 player in his ears) by 6.
Ofcourse makka and trishul (junior) were with me and we all took them to
a local cafe and had some chat items and fruit juices and cool drinks.
Leng, harikesh and pandu work in corporate banks and they pulled each
other 's leg by talking in office language. Mostly it would go like..
Harikesh would say something.. then leng would say .. "Mr. Harikesh
I approve of what you are saying. I'll send my comments in mail .."
and spent some time narrating their funny experiences in office.
Then we went around IIT in Harikesh's car .. swimming pool, hostel
zone, residence zone, stadium, departments.. and it was already time..
around 7:45 we awere at the gate waiting for Sundhindrudu. Now,
Sudihindrudu was my roommate and my Vedam guru and seeing him
after almost an year felt really nice. makka went to bakery and got some
eatables and back we went to the Open Air Theatre (OAT) in IIT for
seeing the movie Polar Express.
The movie was about a kid who doesn't believe in Santa Claus and things
like that and gets an oppurtunity to go on the Polar Express to see the elves
and Santa Claus himself. Tomhanks played the ticket collector. this kid makes
friends with 2 kids in the train and a helpful ghost on top of the train..
Overall there was not much story. But the animation was simply superb.
Tom Hanks animation character was just like him.
I should recommend sseing this movie for its animation and some cool
moments.
Anyways leng and Pandu left in the interval itself and others left after the
movie. it was a nice evening we spent together.
