Timing at its best

Brigade Road, this is one of the most famous hang outs in Bangalore.
In this busy road filled with foreigners and teenagers, is the Rex Theater. This was the theater that I had been to see Sarkar Raj(Mentioned about in my previous blog) along with a group of class friends. As we get out of the theater area and walk on the streets of brigade road, we talk about the movie since we all are film making students. We reach to a point where the area was no that much crowded and stand there and continue our talk on the film. As we were talking, a boy, aged around 14, comes with a plate and on the plate is a god's photo, begging for money. We ignore him and continue to talk about the film. The boy still standing with us over hearing our conversation. One of the guys, Ashwin, talks about the issue that there was too much sympathy was given to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan towards the end of the film and that much sympathy shouldn't have be given.

The boy over-hearing this says,"Give me that sympathy."


Ashwin, insulted by that boy's gesture and embarrassed gives the boy a Rupee and the boy takes off.
All of us, laugh our stomach's out, and that was the full-stop to our discussion on the film.

All I say is, how cool can beggars get??

well, he wouldn't have been a beggar by choice! The guy must have had aspirations of becoming today's cool youth like you bunch of lucky guys!

It would be quite derogative to call it "cool"
