Bond With The Dragon Tattoo

We Went window shopping to the nearby mall this weekend. Spent time looking at the movie posters.(we could spend hours looking at movie posters, Album/ DVD /Cassette covers etc).
There was a huge poster of 'the girl with the dragon tattoo.We both agreed that the hollywood one would me more fast n stylish, but Originals are always originals.wanted to see how the new 'Lisbeth Salander' and ''Mikael Blomkvist' would fit in.(Varun had a huge crush on Ms Salander after watching the swedish movie series).
Soon there were a bunch of dudes n dudettes looking at the poster.The dude leader announced that they must watch it and called out to the rest of the gang 'Arey its the new Bond movie'.
I couldnt help smiling and Varun replied 'Defenitely readers of the 'Time& 0? $#&!@'.

If This Aint Rock, Then What Is ?

I Woke up with a hangover and it was 11:30 am already.I saw a folded sheet of paper placed next to my pillow. It was Varuns hand writing and it read

'New Jersey Rock Fever/ If this Aint Rock, then what Is ?'

I remembered what happened last night.
We had finished an episode of 'That Metal Show'and Varun started his lecture of how 80s rock was a celebration.We talked about Metal, Thrash , Glam, Hair, Pop and what
not.Sippin Old monk rum and playing 80's music, I asked his opinion about BonJovi the band since 'wanted dead or alive' was playing in the background. He said he was surprised that the band doesnt get much mention on rock and metal shows and people have labeled them 'pop'. Off he went saying 'Something has to be done'.
Old monk rocks!! Varun said he secretly wants to work on a project that would make sure todays music fans understand that BonJovi is a real Rock Band.

Morning News

I was busy workin on some reports for the morning meeting. So I asked Varun to read out the News headlines. He was sitting in front of his laptop listening to what he claims is 'real music'.
He browses the net and starts listing the news for me
"Aliyaa not much news in here."
"just read out dude"
"hmm ok. Army General battles for correcting his age " and starts bursting into laughter.

It was my mistake,asking him to read out the news. He can be a real cynic at times.

He continues with the news
"literary genius banned from entry into the country. leaders from different religiuos groups have put the black curse, delivs sign, and dragon spell on him"
Gives me the wicked grin
"rest is the same
Illegal mining , Land scam ,Corrupt politician back and ready to kick a$$ ,Richest indians,  military rule or democracy in Pakistan ? Chicka Cherry coming to india. Chicka Cherry...
Chika ...nooo"
He starts scowling , mumbling n making all sorts of noises.

I had to shout at him "Mr Led Purple Sabbath.. everybody have their own musical preferances..."
I didnt want to look at his face at all. I have seen tht expression many many times.I didnt want to argue or comment more and I said
"dude pls continue with the other news stories"

"F*&% Chika cherry...
Actress banned from country for posing nude. man!! this is top news
boody 2 releasing soon. wtf is boody 2. oh its a sequel to a bolywood hit Boody 1. interesting. was tht a good movie dude ? interesting poster though'
..but this shouldnt be here"

"what do you mean this shoudnt be there"

"'Best times for Sex'. oh more articles on sex.ohhh these shouldnt be here.
these articles are listed on the main page. there are nude pics and video thumbs."

"you must be lookin at some porn site."

"Aliya this is ChuHoo main page. even kids access ChuHoo for everything. How can they place such pics and articles here. Something has to be done."

I didnt want to comment.I was giving the final touches to the report.just wanted to finish my report and leave for office.
"Thats enough for today. Thanks for reading dude"

But he is in no mood to stop. "Let me read you the main stuff - entertainment and sports"

"Oh pls dont take the pain dude"

"Aliya this is fun man. the real entertainment lies here..
'Is Ballu seeing ramona'
 these guys got pics of them comin out of their hotel room in Dubai. Aliyaa.. such a dedicated team of Journos n cameramen.
'Porn star sizzles at Masala House'
'Palki Jawant opens Item number school'
'FRK wins best actor for K3P3H at bollywood platform for Indian Cinema at International Film Fest'
uhh no reviews on PK's new movie and nothing on Dadiwala ji..sadddd.

'Whitewash'
'Dustbowl Bullies'
'seniors might face the axe'
'Bheeru not able to find his 'natural game'
'Fans waiting for God's hundred'
Those arent fans, they are F&*@! posers.Something has to be done !!!. I just want to see 'The Wall' score a hundred
'Pak spins England to win First test'
Oh yess. this is what a team is."

That Sounded a little surprising to me "Didnt know you were a pakistan cricket fan"

"Aliya they are the real entertainers...they can surprise any biggies any day.
Look at the new talents they bring in. what bowling talent man.
Theres no fun without pak cricket.

One day you have a set of eleven,next day you have a different eleven.
Players can announce n number of retirements.Guys suddenly disappear from dressing rooms and end up in england.Our guys meekly show the finger. Their guys readily swing their bat at fans.The lovely relationship of their current players, coaches, former players and cricket board are worth reading.They really are such a funny bunch of..."

I knew where this was heading to "Bye dude im leaving.Need to reach office early for the meeting."

On the way to office my thoughts wandered from Varun, the news , his comments. Never knew what he had to do. But yea I sure have a lot of things to do at office today.
