Can relaxation be tiring?

I had decided to just relax during the weekend and relax I did! But at end of the 'weekend', I am feeling tired though. So tired that I had a tough time pulling myself off the bed and had to skip workout. Wondering if relaxation could really be tiring!!!

Watched lots of movies, well it was actually 3 movies and that is lots for me as I normally do not spend so much time watching movies, that too on a weekend.

The movie Jodhaa Akbar was very good. There were scenes when I felt that the artists and the characters they were playing did not gel. Otherwise it was flowing well and was entertaining.

The other movie I watched was Water Horse. It was an awesome movie with graphics et al. Towards the end, it turned out to be like Free Willy ! I had a very funny experience watching this movie though. I could see the video, hear all the background music but not the dialogue. I was so smitten with the movie that I did not want to give up. Guess what I did? I turned the subtitles on and watched the full movie!

Watching the movie with no audio and with the sub titles was a novel experience and one that made me live like a hearing impaired for a short time. Real life does not provide one with subtitles, and I wonder how easy it would be to follow what the fellow beings say?
