That was just something Jispa and I share. We love the minions
and their idioticity. I did not go to
watch the Despicable Me part 2 as I think it was in 3D. I am not a great fan or
3D and typically it cause me to get a headache. Jispa loved it and saw it and wanted
me to see it. I got the chance to see it on a flight to Shanghai. I remember
seeing it and laughing to myself. I was trying not to look silly like I see the
others do it. You get these guys who watch some funnies on the flight and laugh
out loudly. It funny to see individuals break up into laughter on their own
with the headphones on. I guess its ok when the gang is laughing with you and
everyone finds it funny. But laughing all to your own is something extremely odd.
Some guys laugh more than others. Like this time when kingfisher started
showing videos of the Laughter challenge with comedians all vying for a few
guffaws. I never found them all that funny, but it was ok. You would always
find one or two characters who would laugh uncontrollably. And finally when I saw
Despicable me 2, I was controlling not to laugh out loud like them. The minions
are extremely funny.
Jispa laughs uncontrollably at times. She can go on and on
like I would have when I was her age. I found it extremely difficult to control
laughter till I was I think around 22 or 23. I would laugh hysterically till my
stomach hurt like hell and that would also barely help in bringing sanity back.
I remember trying my best to stop laughing in serious situations. NCC drills
were a few instances where I would have to control and end up not laughing. Somebody
does something funny and your drill commander would insist on maintaining decorum
and I would be the one not able to control and would be singled out for some
more punishment to stop my laughter. Oh dam it.
Now life is slightly more in control but it’s still amazing
to see something with Jispa. Her giggling and laughing is great fun. We get
together and can laugh all the way and Jasmine will not understand what’s so
funny. She will look at us and we will start laughing all over again. Jasmine
wont find amusing at all. In fact we have a term for it “Mom is not amused” or she
has this “I am not amused” expression. Just saying this to each other will make
us laugh all over again.
It should be fun when Jispa grows a little bit older. Then we
could be watching some movies together. That would be fun. Movies like Delhi
belly and others would be funnier with her. In a few years movies like Angoor
or some others like the sort may be equally funny to both of us, or the Mahabharata
scene from jaane bhi do yaaron. Currently we are stuck at Khichadi – the movie.
Ya ya. I see you judging us :)
Laughter is a great way to bond and none better than going
together and enjoying a few jokes. Jasmine laughs much lesser but she does find
a few things really funny. It was my specialty that I could make Jasmine laugh
at will when I was in college. Slowly she seems to have been immune to my
antics. She possibly finds it more boring now. Bah! I was telling Jispa about
it and then telling her that now she finds me funny and all, but wait till she
gets older. She will find me irritating or simple “not funny”. I have to keep
inventing so many things to have fun with her. I am scared that I will run out
of stuff by the time she grows up. Opps. That will be one tough time.
