It's been ages since I've seen a movie and even longer since it was a big Hollywood blockbuster so it was such good fun. We got there early and headed to a chai stall to inhale a few rounds of sugar-packed tea to help us keep our eyes open. While we were there we played with the chai stall owner's kids Tesha, the baby and Apu, the little boy. The same dog with half an ear was outside the theatre, the loveliest dog ever but also the jumpiest. At one point she got overexcited so I raised my voice and said "down" loudly, just as I would to any dog, forgetting that dogs are sometimes roughly treated here - the effect on her crushed me. Where a dog at home would maybe sort of kind of stop jumping, at the sound of my voice this one made herself very small and fell to the ground looking up beseechingly. Ouch.
As we were waiting a shiny SUV drove up and a truckload of yogis piled out so there was a heap of us piled into the front row of the balcony hooting and hollering along with Indiana Jones. The movie came complete with an intermission, of course, and ended late. Thankfully the SUV folks (who also came armed with a bag of homemade popcorn) offered us a ride home so we played "how many yogis can fit into an SUV" and discovered that the magic number was 11.
Apu playing coy with the camera. He loved having his picture taken and seeing the results
Tesha the baby and Apu the little boy. Apu was down with the camera but Tesha seemed a bit confused about why her dad kept plopping her in the lap of this big, bald man.

Come on - who could resist this face?
Aw yeah, Indiana Jones :)
