M-Rock

My friend M-Rock has arrived from India. He has come to travel to China and Tibet with me, so the trip is really getting close.

When a friend visits from another country, it's hard to know what to do. When I visit another country I like to be left alone. But as a host, I should take care of him. I kept asking him, "what do you want to do?" what do you want to do?" but he kept replying "no agenda! no agenda!" I know he's a cricket fanatic so we went to watch England vs. West Indies with Mr. Nick, another cricket fanatic. The game was washed out, so I had to watch TV interviews with Ian Botham and listen to these guys talking cricket for two hours.

You probably think M-Rock is a rapper but he's a pudgy, lovable stockbroker with an unconvincing ponytail. His name is Mrugank but when I first met him I had a hard time pronouncing it, so I called him M-Rock. At one point, I asked him, "as a stockbroker, what do you do all day?"

"Mostly just answer phones."

Ouch! He has more money than I have, but I think I prefer being a teacher.
