Round of Distributors

Today, GPD, Honda and I took the much needed trip to the distributors of Bollywood flicks, almost all of whom have offices in Naaz Cinema - a C-grade movie theater at Lamington Road. On our way to the place, we took the regular route - auto to Kanjur, train to Grant road, and a walk :) The time between getting down from the auto at Kanjur to getting a ticket for the train was interesting. IDC, IIT Bombay has having a Design Local "fest" kind of thing, for the designing schools of India, for which loads of students (and hot chicks) are thronging the campus. We bump into a similar hot female, and here's how the conversation follows..

She: Hey, can you tell me how to get to IIT Powai?
I: Yeah, sure. Take an auto from here, and say IIT Powai.
S: That's it? :O
I: Haan!
S: (all shocked, and amazed at my brainy head :P) aha!

Now, once at Naaz Cinema, we start walking floor by floor, meeting distributor by distributor. Acting as stupid sales persons, we saw posters of really weird movies, C/D/ and probably E grade movies, and had a ball of a time talking to distributors of the same! At the end of the ordeal that lasted 7 floors, and 3.5 hours, GPD and I realized that we must pay enough respect to the sales persons who show up :) The only reprise was Honda and his camera, for which he had decided to accompany us.. for taking pictures for some photography competition in the institute. After the time spent at this great place, we decided to cancel the trip to Eros Cinema where Hollywood distributors sit, and ate paani-puri, got screwed with the spicy water, drank a litre of water among the 3 of us, caught a train to Church gate, walked to VT, and then back a train to Kanjur. So, after all this, we in short, have moved one more step towards setting up the film soc. :) Good. Now, 2 days I have 2 quizzes. Sad, but true :) Mugging time :D
