Lest They Change The Board Next Year…

Engineers India Limited, happens to be this real fun joint you know, which has their office in Bhikaji Cama Place (I hope the it’s not renamed after some freedom fighter by the time I reach home), a place quite close to my house. Here’s what Ze Wiki has to say about it…

Engineers India Limited (EIL) is a public-listed company under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, and is a business enterprise of the Government of India that was initially set up in 1965 to help the vital petroleum industry in the country. It has to its credit, more than 4,300 assignments, including 320 major projects, that has, so far, been successfully completed.

Notice the year which is BOLD in the above paragraph? Now if I’m not wrong, then this board belongs to EIL…

“Please press 2 to change your preferred language…”

And in case you STILL happen to be a dimwitted twit who did NOT get what the fuss was…

I thought I should take a pic of this today for posterity; who knows, if they decide to change the board next year… 😐

The Dark Knight stuff

Just thought I’d put up some posters and stuff of the best movie of 2008….

Posters

Pics

Must say, whatever doubts I had about The Dark Knight not matching upto Batman Begins, were dispelled after I saw this:

Bootlegged footage, not good quality. But still, this sure is one helluva FREAKING AWESOME trailer!!!
Heath Ledger just kicks butt as the Joker! It sure is so damn dark (not the footage, but the act)! Joker, in Mr Ledger’s words is

a “psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy”

and, he sure does look the part. His chilling laughter! Shit man! And all that “Why so Serious” dialogue! Take my word for it,

Ledger.is.gonna.kick.butt.

People who have seen The Dark Knight Prologue (6 minutes of footage shot in IMAX format which shows Joker’s first bank robbery. Already out in every damn country except our beloved India), say that he really excels in the part, and that everyone should be set for something really very different from Jack Nicholson’s portrayal (in Tim Burton’s Batman)-the humour is very dark and the Joker really is (quoting Mr Ledger)

a “psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy”.

Aargh!!! Why are the days so long! Can’t wait for July 18, 2008!

Let’s put a smile on that face of yours!

My advice to people who don’t like Batman: just go and watch this movie. It’ll blow you away! It’s gonna be one helluva ride. If after watching this, you still don’t like Batman, you are a damn flibbertigibbet.
