Now that I settled into a new home, it is time to carve out a nook for my stuff. I have been having this old Lego set, with me which I was yet to open. This is my first ever lego set, the #75015 Star War Corporate Alliance Tank Droid. It is a 2013 model, now retired. It costed Rs2800 in India (which was twice the US price) but now I can find the same model selling for Rs7000+. Quite the appreciation.

I always end up next to the guy who comes prepared (watched the trailer and read up on the reviews) and boosts his own ego by explaining the movie to a friend, while the movie is going on! So I booked a on a lonely seat right in the middle of the cinema hall. The best seats in a cinema hall are 2/3rds from the screen because the audio is calibrated for the best experience there. (Nerd!) Also, you get to sit level with the screen which makes the experience better especially in Interstellar’s wave scene where you have to look slightly upwards to see the kilometre high wave crest hurtling towards you. Makes you squirm in your seat.
