Essence of a Sick Leave
Have you ever visited a parallel cinema or conventional Movie talkies? I’m not referring to modern cineplexes (PVRs or INOXs) that have the latest built-in technologies and sophisticated ambience but to traditional single-screen theatres. Those were the days when tickets were not bought through the comforts of mobile phones, but one had to rigorously stand in long queues in front of tiny ticket windows. The Stall/Dress Circle/Balcony or the privileged boxes used to be the normal nomenclature, and the big electric fans, not on the ceiling but on the side walls for the comfort of the viewers, were the only facility available inside the hall. No one would have thought of fully air-conditioned halls at that time.
