Fahrenheit 9/11

Huh!!! A tiring day.. Two high priority tasks... Hmmph..

Anyways, got this piece of nostalgia in a mail from Harish..

It was during our project in London. We used to have lots of spare time.

One fine Friday, we were wondering what movies should we go to over the weekend at the Croydon Grant's Theatres.

So I sent a mail to the rest of the folks for suggestions and what followed later was just a sign how useless we had become.

We literally were on our way to become the best writers in Bollywood, even eclipsing the duo of Salim-Javed.

The Chain mail series consisted of 100+ mails exchanged over a span of just an hour.

Before you read this, a brief intro of two real-life characters, playing important characters in the mail below.
1. Chetan : One of our team mates. Despises Bhangra and everything associated with it. Luvs mainly Rock songs, metal, heavy metal, etc.

2. Vinod : The cooolest chap of our team. Either laughs or remains silent. Believes that everything in this world was discovered by 'Jorge'. e.g. Jorge Einstein, Jorge Newton, Jorge Edison, etc. (Mallu pronounciation of 'George').

Now the final thing. Like all email chains, read this (the section in the starred lines) from the bottom to the top. I am too lazy to edit it.

This is just an excerpt of the whole mail chain.

Yes. Thats a cool Idea...We won't show actual murder taking place...
We would give hints to the audience..
First a Punjabi Song.. PEople dancing..
Then a rock song Chetan Dancing..
Then The sound of Police van and then the dead body...

Hum Chetan ka pehla khoon dikhaayenge.. Woh ek achha khaasa SE tha..
Lekin uske cubicle mein ek bandi Punjaabi Gaane lagaati hai... Aur chetan gussa ho jaata hai...
Gusse mein hosh kho baithta hai.. aur woh uska khoon kar deta hai...
Waha se woh serial killer ban gaya....
