Movie Night or Workshop Night.. You decide!

Like every alternative Saturday, the plan was in place for movie night at Cinepax but this time - it wasn't the usual day.

The Background: My 2 neighbors kids (who've nothing to do except hitting points on each other, one can't stop laughing when they're scoring points on one another) I received the call from Talha and asked - rather told me that Akbar bhai we're going to watch Cars 2 so please book our tickets for the weekend. Before booking the tickets I checked with the regular group and everyone declined as this is a children movie so decided to take my nephew - Qasim and niece - Eshal, and of course their parents were also invited. So tickets were booked for 7, but only 6 watched the movie - you can guess who didn't. 

The Day: Everyone was excited (I think Osama and Talha were more excited than the children, they in fact given me 100% assurity that my GreenDoll - RIV1800 is also featuring in Cars 2) and there is a high chance that some good looking girls will come for autograph and most probably give their contact numbers for once in a lifetime ride experience on GreenDoll. So with this hope in my heart - we took off to Cinepax. 

The RoadTrip: After just 2 minutes drive on main road - my ever trusted vehicle - RIV1800 stopped on main road for no reason and within 3 minutes she fixed itself (by She, I meant the GreenDoll). Rest of the ride was smooth till we reached near to the main gate. 

Now here I would like to stop everyone and give you glimpse of a experience. Almost a month or two back, at the same spot a when we were entering in to Cinepax - a girl (yes a girl, who was driving alone and look for help) car was broken. I was with Irfan and Saqi... and guess what we inquired about the trouble and when she told us kay petrol mok geya hai tu bawajood iss kay kay hum mai say 2 banday bachelors thay - we didn't stop to help her... :-s because I didn't help the smart lady that day; Allah main nay mujay iss din saza de aur mere car ussi same/exact location per kharab kar de (For the record, GreenDoll is a trust worthy ride and this is the first time it has disappointed me) and for the record too: Saqi kept on saying kay mai help karta hoin and he didn't..

Trouble Time: Luckly Ali bhai was following me, so kids moved to his car and I was now alone - helpless.

Rest assured, my car was broke and guess what, not even a single male drive stopped and asked for the help BUT interestingly 2 girls drives at least stopped and asked about the trouble and one smiled (of course non helped, aur waisay bhi how could I possible get help from a girl) 

Khair, I pushed my car aside and start making the call - of course my good friends responded with a BIG LAUGH kay bachoo aur ja humary beghar :-s and rest say bhai, mai tu kud biwi bachoin kay sath hoin (aik time per aik he mosebat bardast hote hai).

So then I called rescue Saqi007 and guess what he answered the call and within 30 minutes, I had a mechanic with me. Of course, Sohail was as always ready to come by for help even if he knows his presence only increase in trouble not in solution.

Long story Short and Lesson Learned:
  • Always help a beautify girl in trouble otherwise her curse will get you in trouble someday and surprisingly at same location
  • Never go in your own car to watch the movie (just get Sohail's car)
  • Don't pay for tickets unless you're sure to watch the movie. 
  • Keep good relationship with your mechanics
  • Trust your fat friends - they'll always help you as smart ones are busy elsewhere
