Hello! It's been quite an interesting day today. I woke up late, took a bath and went out with a few friends to watch the movie 'The Woman in Black' starring Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame. Usually I don't watch horror movies but because this had Daniel Radcliffe in the main role and my friends assured me that it wouldn't be too scary I took my heart out in my palms and sat down in the dark theater not knowing if I could continue to the end. Many a times I closed my eyes and pressed my about-to-scream mouth with both my hands but in the end I came out with a good feeling. The movie didn't have anything new or uncommon but the story and the eerie silence gave us a chill down our spines. The direction and cinematography was good and even Radcliffe played his role quite well.
Daniel Radcliffe was my teenage crush like thousands of girls all over the world. Even I was one of the many who wrote him a letter and mailed it to his address at Hertfordshire, England and got a reply back(though I realized that it might be from one of his assistants). I was eleven years old when I started reading the Harry Potter books and by the age of thirteen I started watching the movies and fell head over heels in love with Daniel. My feelings remained faithful to him till I was sixteen and even after that whenever I watched him on screen I used to get that 'teen-teen' feeling. But interestingly, today for the first time I didn't get the slightest of that nor a few goosebumps except when the woman in black showed up. I suddenly realized how I grew up over this span of time, how my heart would never behave silly again. And for a few moments I felt bad, in fact I just wanted that my mind would grow up no more. My heart thumped heavily when I started thinking how fast the universe is moving and people are ageing and dying. This tiny instance is just an example of how people suddenly have great realizations over little issues. I'm sure many of us here would have experienced this feeling at some point of time in their lives. Even if you haven't then you would soon get this whole feeling about something that would create a sweet nostalgic air of realization in your lives.
