Day 7 - The Real Bond

“A minute may be sixty seconds but sixty seconds is not minute. That is a Real-Time system in one sentence!!”

- Leo da Mirci in his book on “Programming Real-Time Operating Systems”

I had recently attended a quiz which had a question on James Bond movies. Since then I had been thinking of how a James Bond movie should be. This is how a good Bond movie should be… The first version of the script for the movie is here. Recommendations and feedback will be taken positively. So please give the recommendations you have and changes that you would like to make. The movie is named ‘The Real Bond’.

The Real Bond - the story of how James Bond joined TCS

James Bond was walking down the Bond Street in London. He was in a gloomy mood. On the way he saw a tea shop serving Indian made Brooke Bond Tea. Drinking the tea, he was thinking of his physical bond with Samantha Bond which had resulted in a big confusion inside his mind. He had decided to practice self bondage for the next few months. Also, he had to find a person who can sign a surety bond for the loan he got for his new house. But his immediate assignment was different. He had to release the bonded labourers from Gold Coast Australia. He went to Gold Coast Australia and his first mission was to interview the students of Bond University, Australia.

Bond got all the information he wanted. He even got some information on valence bond theory of chemical bonding which he did not want. After getting all the information from the University he realized that the villains were currently hiding in the Bond Place Hotel, Toronto. He took an immediate flight to Toronto. He went to his room, switched on the music player, heard a few songs of Bond, the Australian string quartet and slept off. The next day he woke up only to find that he was in jail. The Canadian police had arrested him thinking that he was a terrorist on a tip from the villains. He had to call one of his friends, who got him out on a bail bond of 5000 Canadian Dollars. Furious he took his gun, went to the Bond Place hotel, and after a few fight sequences arrested all the villains. The bonded labourers were released the next day in Australia.

Bond returned back to London to find that the fixed bond he had taken 10 years back had matured. This would mean that he would get the 200000 dollars he needed for his new house and he no longer needed a surety bond for his loan. Though happy, he found that something else, was bugging him. Yes, it was his emotional bond with Samantha Bond. To get out of his psychological bonding with Samantha Bond he decided to move to India, a very calm place and get a new job. He submitted his resignation letter the next day, neatly drafted in an Executive Bond paper. Finally he came down to India, and is now working for a software company. No wonder he working for TCS on a one year bond.

The film ends with James Bond saying the following quote of Leo da Mirci when he starts for work.

“Bonding is an art. Book binding is also an art. Bonds are bonds only till you bind by them. Books are bound only if you bind them. Human beings should be bonded well for better quality of life. So, to improve the quality of life all you need is two human beings, a knife, two pieces of cardboard, some cloth tape, a little bit of glue”

Post Script (literally and logically): All Bonds given in the script are real and do exist. Obviously, I googled to get them.
