This was just after big bro's wedding. There was a lot of leftovers of both food as well as people. Close to home is a multiplex to which I have never been before. Tacky movie was being screened at the multiplex...but guests from afar wanted to check it out and all of us in general justwanted to get out and have a good time. So what the heck!
This multiplex also doubles up as a mall with fine dining restaurants and shopping arcades all under the same roof and blah! Chuck that.
The best part about mall 'Big' (that's what we'll call it for safety reasons) was the trampoline there. The bad part was that it was for kids...and in small print it was written that it was meant for small kids. Now tell me who ever would throw their small babies on a trampoline to be tossed around. Kids that have a sense of balance could play on a trampoline and I am included in that group of kids. But mister watchman was so stoopid and could understand that. But don't worry, I can get my way. Without another word I moved along with my family to watch movie 'Tacky' (again for safety reasons) :)
National anthem, movie, songs...songs, popcorn, movie, songs...songs, ending, exit. We were back to where my mind was - the trampoline. This time the annoying watchman was no where in sight and without hesitating for a microsecond I was on the trampoline jumping and freefalling only to hit trampoline just in time to do a somersault, and get back to my feet (I bet the somersault made me look like a spaz...but who cared!). Wow! the rush of blood to the head is great! I jumped again and again and once again.
My aunt from far away was aghast, my cuz had her jaw dropped to the floor, my big bro was watching out for me while my sis-in-la was having fun with me with her shouts and hoots. Mommy dearest was proud that her kid of marriageble age was a crazee lump. Just when I was soaking the many expressions the darned watchman came over from someplace and began swinging his lathi at me to get off the trampoline. Like I care! But none the less I got off, well after I'd had my share of fun!
Whoa!
The next time you see a trampoline make sure you get onto it. Even if it is for a short while before you're thrown out.
