There's nothing new in going to the movies on a Sunday. This morning was no different, only it pertinently was. It was my first movie date with my daughter. She's four and her first-ever movie outing will always be with her mother and it will be The Junglebook. Mowgli, be damned, but for Prisha, this will be her formal entry into film entertainment outside the idiot box, and of course the iPad.
I still, uncannily quite, remember my first movie viewing at a theatre. It was Qayamat se Qayamat tak. Yes, you heard that one right! And my invincible (almost!) crush on Aamir Khan started from that moment on.
Anyway, the reason I wanted to pen today's experience was because 'firsts' are always special, right? The first walk, the first word, the first day at school, the first birthday, the first job, first kiss, etc etc..it's quite endless, really! But innocuously it just ends up being one of those life aspects that's given significance (sometimes unduly so!).
I'd been meaning to take my daughter out for this 'first' time movie experience for a while and today, just felt right and Mowgli was introduced to her, and in 3D! Yes, there's technology engulfing us from every corner, it seems and one that we so readily accept.I actually loved the movie, honestly and loved it a wee bit more because my li'l one was curling up to me every time Shere Khan almost jumped out of the screen into our laps!
I know for sure, I'll remember this 'first' for a long time to come and one that I hope my daughter remembers somehow too. The first mother-daughter movie date got to be special, right?
