Yesterday the four of us went to watch Amazing Spiderman. Kids and their dad were dying to watch the movie and I had to follow them as I did not have any choice!
As a kid, fortunately or unfortunately, I had never been consumed by any of the superhero characters like batman, spiderman, superman nd the like purely because I was never introduced to them. To make matters worse, we didn't have a TV set till I passed my 10th board exam, neither was there a cinema hall within the radius of 25 km of my remote village. Hence I did not even get any opportunity to have a 'crush' on any of the filmy heroes. Much later in my life, when I was a "much married lady with a kid" and I watched ' Kaal Ho Na Ho', I could find my first superhero nd that was Shah Rukh Khan ( he still holds that position in my heart ; my husband and kids quite often tease me whenever he comes in TV) !!
....But my children nd their dad are always overwhelmed by the "superhero-ish" acts of their superheros nd Chhutku was , as usual, awe - struck by the stunts; so much so that he even forgot to finish his Cheese Nachos. Since the action of the superheroes gives me enough dizziness to feel almost sick, I polished off a whole plate of cheese nachos nd caramel popcorn , just to get easy with the sickness!!
Looking at Misti, I was not sure whether she was equally spellbound watching Spiderman climbing walls or swinging from building to building. On our way back home, Chhutku did a detailed analysis of superority of stunts by Toby Mcguire nd Andrew Garfield nd he concluded that the new spiderman was much better on technical aspects!
Wow! So much from an eight-year old nd I was still reeling under the dizzying acts by the spiderman...
After dinner, while I was enjoying my favorite reality show with a big chunk of brownie with icecream (to cool off my over - heated senses, of course), Misti suddenly popped up her head from my lap,"Ma, how did u like the movie?".
I replied matter-of-factly," You know Babu, as usual, it was nothing great for me. Rather, I would have been happier to watch Cocktail"
After few minutes of pause, she said softly," I kind of liked the movie but I liked Andrew Garfield very much! Isn't he very cute!".
I stopped from scooping icecream from the bowl and looked at her face as beautiful as a fresh flower and full of innocence! Was there a tinge of pink while she said that? Was it a girly blush?
"Can we buy the dvd when it comes, Ma? Actually, I liked him very much and just cannot stop thinking about him, you know." She confessed with lots of softness in her voice!!
As a child, she is way too matured compared to her age and she dislikes many things which girls of her age, love. Her all-time favorite dress is a jeans ( a plain one ,please!) with tee nd she stays miles away from clothes with laces, flowers, glitters nd blings, colourful hairclips nd bands, bracelets nd bangles, nailpaints nd bindis, and prefers a neat plait to keeping her lovely curls open!!!
With all her maturity nd practicality at such an early age, it was almost improbable that she would suddenly get smitten by Andrew Garfield way too much like a young girl , two years away from entering into her teen....
....And Chhutku concluded after few minutes into the conversation," I think Misti, you have a crush on him".
I almost fainted on the sofa .....he is not even nine years old and already an expert as to what could be called a "crush"!!
Thank you, Andrew Garfield for bringing the girl out of my daughter nd I am so looking forward to being a part of " Crush nd Blush" of my "pretty as a princess" daughter and my "gorgeously handsome, adorable" boy!! The most beautiful phase of motherhood has just begun for me!!
