Our social committee had organised a movie night for all staff at
Cine-Leisure mall today. A whole screen was booked for our staff only and a
mini-buffet was set before the screening. Teresa has come to drop Yohaan to my
office. And as all things must have some
extra element of excitement, she got off at the wrong bus stop! After a few
phone calls and a bit of coordination and pacing up and down the streets by me,
she finally reached the spot! Yohaan was super excited and was eager to watch
superman.
The movie started and since it revolved around how
Superman was born and sent to earth etc., the superman, as we know him (in his
suit), didn't appear until almost the mid of the movie. However, in the
meanwhile, Yohaan' s impatience kept growing and in a fairly quiet movie hall
we often heard "where is superman?" "is he superman?"
"why is the boy crying?" "is he baby superman? "is he boy
superman?" much to our embarrassment he spoke loudly and frequently! Thankfully
my colleagues didn't seem to mind his
occasional murmuring or at least were courteous enough not to say anything to
us.
And then came the kiss! It was an unexpected and an unnecessary kiss even in my eyes, but Yohaan's expression summed it up entirely. The moment they kissed, he looked at me and said "ahuh!!??" in his own sweet and innocent accent! His Baba laughed at his expression and then promptly got a good smack on his hand for laughing at him! Hahaha...

Overall, I liked the movie, I liked the new superman and
his old father played by Russell Crow! They looked super amazing and like real
supermen! Yohaan' s interest in the movie grew after the arrival of
superman in his superman attire. But the comments didn't stop! They just changed to "Super",
"awesome!" "that's so cool, mama". It is an amazing feeling to hear these comments from a boy who has just turned 4!
Towards the end, when superman's
power weakens and he zooms past trying to rescue someone he let's out a loud groan.
Yohaan wasn't too pleased with his super hero becoming weak and our taxi ride home was filled with questions about how could Superman have become weak?!
And then came the kiss! It was an unexpected and an unnecessary kiss even in my eyes, but Yohaan's expression summed it up entirely. The moment they kissed, he looked at me and said "ahuh!!??" in his own sweet and innocent accent! His Baba laughed at his expression and then promptly got a good smack on his hand for laughing at him! Hahaha...
Thanks to Superman for the wonderful time we spent
with our, little superman!
