harsh in kinesphere

Spoiler- this is not a movie review, I just thought that this was the best way of confessing something and not letting anyone know.

Yes I admit that I get scared watching horror movies/serials, but only if they are outstanding. But that wasn’t the case some years back when I’d be petrified even after watching ‘Aahat’. Nothing of that sort could prepare me for the real thing.

It’s been almost 4 /*read terrifying*/ years since I watched ‘the Ring’ /*the Japanese and the English version*/ and the movie still manages to bring chills down my spine. The timing couldn’t be more wrong, though I watched the flick in the afternoon, a couple of days later my parents went out of station. Nights had never been so scary. To top it all, I tried sleeping in front of the television. In case you haven’t seen the movie, Samara (the ghost) crawls out of the television set. I practically tried to claw my way out the theater as couple of my friends pulled me by my legs to watch its dreaded sequel . Also when ‘the Grudge’ was touted as being scarier than the ring itself, I convinced myself that I’d watch it even if that meant weeks of sleepless nights. But, to my relief, people who’d die after watching the movie would be scarier and the sequel was a laugh riot, without a script, chills and amateur Fx. Another movie that seemed scary sans the spirits/ ghosts/supernatural was ‘The happening’ but watching people commit suicide tends to get boring. ‘Exorcism of Emily Rose’ is a good one too; it was so good that it has kept me from watching ‘The Exorcist’.

I don’t have any hard feelings towards Ramsay and co. but their version of ghosts has always made me……lol! Maybe because their face resembles dip covered chips/* Ummmm... drool goes here*/. I believe there hasn’t been a good horror-thriller movie post ‘Bhoot’, that’s because no one has made a documentary on current affairs or parliamentary proceedings yet. Now that’ll be a sure shot winner.

What if cricket became the next soccer/ football? We’d be seeing participation from all the continents /*if we’d stop being such sissies and let the penguins play!!*/

But what would really happen??? Really?

The Afghan batsmen would go KABOOM!!!! if the opposing team appealed or even looked at the umpire. When it’d be their turn to bowl, the fielders would hide below the ground and would only surface only in the event of a possible catch. How difficult would it be for the Chinese? Their foreign ministry would have to intervene in order to appeal, since their players wouldn’t be allowed to talk with outsiders. There would also be another problem; no one would be able to tell if the next batsman that came from the pavilion was not indeed the same person. Mexico wouldn’t participate because half of the team would try to run into the American pavilion. Finally if USA started playing, they’d think of themselves as the ones who redeemed cricket, they’d file patents for all the things done on the field, but then, actually they wouldn’t participate as they prefer a similar sport with much tighter clothing which involves sliding on the ground and touching each other with a ball.

Ahhhhh the possibilities are endless!
