Seshadri's Musings

I am a movie buff.   That is to say that I watch a lot of movies.   May be 3-4 movies a week 😊😊 .   Sometimes it may even stretch to about 5-6 a week!!   I remember during my college days, when there was a Mystery week at the Chanakya theatre in Delhi where they were showing all mystery movies throughout the week.   Chanakya was famous for only English movies during those times.   I was able to watch 5 movies in 5 days during my college days, of course while bunking the college 😊 .   Saturday and Sunday, being holidays, there was no college!!!
