Wrong stuff at the right place!

So another boring day. I dunno what to do. I'm singing, "Gaddi jaani yeh chullanga maar dee", as I do sometimes. Its from a movie. It means almost nothing. I mean I think I know what it means, but yea whatever, doesn't matter. Its just a line this dude keeps singing in a really funny film, and I liked it, so just kept going. Anyhow, so Jason called and we remembered about something that we spoke about quite a while ago....

There is an IBM lab at Hawthorne. About 25 mins drive from our office, and about 20 mins from home. They have a ping pong room, a decent gym and several other recreational things in the building for the employees. However, one of the several times that we had gone there, we saw this amazing TV room. It has several screens, but the best of them is one huge 50 inch or so screen connected to a PSP and another huge, God knows how many meters screen which had is connected to a few things. So we decided that someday we will come in late with pizza and beer, and some DVDs and watch them in this room. Oh yea, the icing on the cake is that this room has amazing bean bags and several cozy couches.

So today that Jason called, he had an action movie and a British comedy. And co-incidently, him and me both had ordered 5,5,5. Oh, its a deal by Dominos, 3 medium pizzas for 5 bucks each. So we were almost certain that this day was meant to watch these DVDs on those amazing couches in that room. We decide to go there, and in 10 mins we are on our way. On the way we are making fun of several managers, and specially our director. [Hope hes not reading this].

We reach there, and guess what ? Everything seems perfect. There is barbeque sauce in the drawers. The place is clean. Nice and cool. Very cozy. We try to open the DVD case and guess what, it comes in our hand. Its just a flat cover. There is no DVD player. Damned ! The PSP, we put in the DVD and it starts up and everything. But guess what ? There is no way to play it, because we cannot trace the controller !! Nothing is available. No way to play anything. We were really sad and pissed off. I mean we here had our own private theatre, and.... [Well almost had...]

I even got a brilliant idea of using one of the conference rooms as our mini theatre. And Jas suggested a great idea of putting the bean bags on the huge conf tables and watching the movies in there. Damned that would be something. But obviously we din't try that. Dunno why though. We did get stuck in the library though.. Well.. again.. almost..

Overall it was a partially adventurous night. Well not really, but yeah, you do have an idea what it was though. Basically in one line; what happened to us ? Here it is, a line from one of the movies I love, "Gaye thae toh Zanjeer ke Amitabh jaise.. Aaur aayee hai toh Sholay ke Asrani jaise.... Aaah .. Haah...... "
