There are days when one doesn’t want
to do anything and in my case these days show up more often than the days when I
want do to something. I just surprise myself at the length of time I can spend
lazying in my bed and accomplishing number of things without even getting up
like watching television, listening to music, eating while watching tv,
reading, talking on the phone and the list goes on. So when I actually fall
sick and am allowed being in bed 24X7, it is like a guilt free, legitimate
sponsored trip to heaven.
Another very interesting aspect
of falling sick is the holiday you give to your mind. The mind doesn’t want to be bothered then and
it along with its best friend, “the intellect”, go away to have their little “them”
time. I figured that maybe that is the reason that I suddenly start seeing the
chick flicks and the RomComs with a whole new level of respect and love that it
probably wouldn’t have garnered on an otherwise perfectly healthy day. Strict
rule: no Tarantino, no Scorcese, no Nolan! Basically no Brain!!
Imagine my happiness and glory
when I am on a sick day off and am showered with movies like Crazy Stupid Love, 27 dresses and Its Complicated.
Now ever since, I have discovered Romedy Now channel , I have discovered an
easy way to shut the mind off, watch honey dripping unrealistic romantic movies,
giggle away to glory, savour the aww
moments and occasionally let a few tears roll down my cheeks. With movies like
the ones I have mentioned above when I have the whole day to gulp them down in,
is like a cherry on top of a delightful sinful chocolate cake. If you look at
all the movies, there is a pattern. Boy and girl hate each, or one of them
hates the other after an incident, a drunk scene (which is usually the in the
stupor type, heart in the throat scene) and of course in the end the passionate
kissing reunited scene. Yes, I know them all and I still watch them and am not
ashamed coz its my ideal way to relax in bed with a chocolate in hand. I do not
think men really care for unabashedly being stuck on Sports Channels, Star Wars
or Sci-Fi movies , then why should we give a hoot for being suckers for a
little bit of fairy tale melodramas!
Romedy Now, you have been a true
companion, a light of happiness and motivation in my times of despair and I
will be forever in your debt for just being there (after recharging my cable
network timely). You will always be special, till deaths do us apart!
Since I always give a true
picture of everything, Hmmmm...here is why you may not choose to watch RomComs:
