Readers’ Discretion Advised: If you get bored while reading this post then please go to the last paragraph. If you don’t know what is counter strike and what is unreal tournament then don’t read. Moreover pardon for my poor grammar.

I was in a lodge in Kolkata. Target: Toefl test. Met Sumit somewhere the next morning .We were loitering around. I forgot when was the test scheduled to start, later remembered that I forgot my Passport too at Kgp . Quickly came to Howrah Station. Now I forgot to bring my bag from the hotel. I went back. I remembered I fixed a  dinner with Susweta. She came to meet me at the hotel. We were unable to find the exit. I saw one well painted room .The artistic red , black and yellow sprays made me wish if it had been my hostel room. when I came out of the room I found I was in my wing and the whole wing has been painted in this way as a order from the new director.  Then I saw Prateek  Poddar ,my friend from IITB ,was coming and waved at me “Kaise ho aap” I asked ” What the hell are you doing here” Before his reply I remembered that my room was painted in my absence so I guess nothing should be missing from there. I checked everything. two of the cell phones the ipod, the lappy then I went near the window.It was dusk and saw Xan had a clear shot towards me. Xan is the avatar which I take in Unreal Tournament. I never expected that I will be fighting against Xan today. What happened to him. Is he not happy?  I was forced to retaliate. We Jumped from one place to the other with our Redeemers. Xan took me to one place. There I saw lots of Xan. small, big, all…lots of Xan. They were being trained to fight.  starting from a 1 feet Xan to a 7 feet Xan .Soumik who was standing beside me asked Shreyas …..” Are you their team leader? Shreyas replied… “yes dude ..I learned everything from Counter Strike” .Suddenly I saw black smokes in the sky. It seemed the British bomber planes were airborne and dropping shells on us. An old lady told me how to get rid of those bombs…” Whenever you see a bomb coming on you , try to give it the best shot you can…. like in cricket” Now she gave me a cricket bat. The old lady showed me a picture. One half of the earth had been destroyed by these people. America had been wiped off from the map of the Earth. Too much Nuclear explosions had left nothing. Sky Cities will be made now.People have already started booking for those Sky-cities. Yes planet Earth is too advanced now. But I cannot live here. I am from that old 21st century where I should go back.

Ooops It was already late. Today also I woke up very late. It was her call which made me wake up.”Hi mimi… good morning”

Enough…. now its time to really wake up and have a smoke else After a fight with Xan , I will now be at Babylon fighting against the Prince of Persia.

Hey Mandalda “Do u have a $%^^@.”… “Nahi dada khatam ho gaya”….”u….grrrrrrr”

Well It was a dream only. So It was kinda hopping story as dreams are. It was an effect of prolonged gaming(Unreal Tournament), watching heroes, sounds of gunshots from my neighbor shreyas

So unenthusiastic that I don’t want to write those thoughts coming to my mind.

During School time patriotic stories and songs are meant to plant the seed of Truth ,Strength and Confidence in us.

But there is something ‘evil’ which sucks the life out of that inner self. That ‘evil’ has grown so much that the soul has got split personality.

However this evil is not as powerful to drive off that good is us.And that is why the world is still a good place to live in.

Now where did these thought came from.

I was watching the movie Rang De Basanti. I have seen people coming out of the the theater ,speechless. Movies of these types like “The Legend of Bhagat Singh” , “Blood Diamond”, “October sky”….they produce motivation to do something for us…something for them whom we love we care for, to do something great. But where does those motivations finally go?…do they get poisoned in that ‘evil’ mind? Why can’t they break out of the Prison….or are they waiting to die like a freedom fighter.

You may be asking why I am calling this as evil mind. Dude I will say this not evil. Ye to bas trailer hai.Movie abhi bhi baki hai.The five sense organs anger, fear, anxiety, greed, envy and pride they are the guardians of this evil land. The day out freedom fighters will succeed in their Rebel ….we will win. The world will be a better place to live in.

 

Do you have an Airtel Connection? then i hope you are also frustrated of the Airtel Advertisement SMSs that comes and litters you Inbox. Many times customers get sms which requests to subscribe to some Airtel service by sending a toll free SMS. Often the  Customer is Airtel illiterate and subscribes(knowingly or unknowingly) to the service without using it,finally to get rid of the service ,gets a new connection dropping the old one. For your kind information I once boasted that I am enough literate about all Airtel services,GPRS,WAP, Net2Phone,Mobile Office .But unfortunately I was wrong. I am also Airtel illiterate.
So it Started like this…One fine morning my 7610 shouts “You have got an SMS”
Service Inbox Message

from 543210

Free upgrade to SMS with colors,emoticons & free content. Click Service Message

url http://10.5.0.83/phonesender/downloadtophone

11:36 AM & 11:31 AM 12/08/2008
If you just open the message(at least only for reading,yes mind it ..only for reading even don’t need to click on the URL)  then you get subscribed to some NUT for NET (or Whatever)service  and Airtel deducts Rs 15 often(may be once in every 2 days or may be once in every 2 minutes).After every Deduction it sends the message
Text Message

from 64611015

Thanks for using (na,Miscellaneous) subscription service on Airtel WAP. You’ve been charged Rs 15.

3:45 pm 12/08/2008
Called Airtel Customer Care . According to them i have used some WAP service. As it was the first time I just gave a damn to the WAP service and my 15 bucks.
After few days

Same text Message from 6411015 on 5:04 PM 19/08/2008

Same text Message again on 5:02 PM 20/08/2008

thus Airtel deducted 30 bucks again.

Called Airtel Customer Care. Some Mr Dipankar was talking to me

yeah this time its the daily subscription charges of that f***ing WAP service. 

………

………

“Please Un subscribe me from the service and I want my 45 Rs back”

” no Sir we cannot return the 45 Rs but we can Un subscribe you from the service”

“Yes please do so……and keep in mind if i again get charged of Rs 15 I will take action”

” no Sir this wont occur again…..Thank you for calling to Airtel..Have a good day”

Same Service Inbox message on 21/08/2008 at 4:44 PM and 4:45 PM(I haven’t read both the messages. May be if i read they will start deducting 15+15=Rs 30 more per day from me) and a text message from 543210
Thank you for your interest in SMS2.0 on Airtel. Click on http://10.5.0.83/download to install SMS2.0(Toll Feee)

on your mobile.

4:43 PM on 21/08/2008
Again the same Service Inbox Message at same times,same day.

And the same Text message about deduction of 15 more bucks from my fucking Airtel balance at 2:14 PM on 22/08/2008
Readers can you suggest me what to do next.

As usual i called them again and this time i asked for a conversion with Mr Dipankar. Regrettably he was not there at that time.

So I had to start my love story(with Airtel ) again from the starting day. Finally the person assured me that 

he has sent a request for unsubsription to that WAP service. Also I asked them about Airtel DND service.

“…….for Subscribing to Airtel DND servie you need to send text START DND to 1909 and its toll free…..Thank you for calling to Airtel..Have a good day”

I had a balance of Rs 0.75.I tried to send that SMS but failed .I remember he said 1909 is a toll free no.
Well Thank you for you kind attention to this love story with my fucking Airtel connection. Can you please suggest me 

some way to get rid of this daily business of Rs 15. All your Ideas are welcome in advance.

however please keep in mind. please don’t suggest me to take a new connection. I cannot do so.
And if any one suggest me to complain at Consumer forum (or Whatever) I have a detailed log of all the SMS Ads,GPRS uses(which i haven’t used for the last three months). 

I hope those log files can help.
A kind request to Mr. Dipankar …If you are reading this please gimme back my 60 bucks.

Several suicides in IIT in past few years

1.Ritika Toya Chatterjee,30 th May 2008, a B.Tech final year student of the IIT-Kanpur .

2.Abhilash J J ,Ph.D. student ,IIT Kanpur committed suicide by consuming cyanide.

3. 30 th December 2006,Shrikant Mullappa (22), an electrical branch student committed suicide in the IIT Bombay campus.

4.Vijay Nakula ,November 2005,4 th year Dept of Physics,IIT Powai.

5.Bal Krishna Gupta ,August 2007,Phd,IIT Bombay. 

6.15 th January 2006.Dhiraj Kumar Anand,2nd yr student ,Department of Mining Engineering,IIT Kharagpur.

7.Shailesh Sharma,4 th May 2006,Chemical Enginnering,IIT Kanpur.

—the list doesnt ends here—

 

 

 

Recently( 2nd June ,2008 ) IIT Kanpur alumni association filed an application under the Right  to Information Act to find out roots of the extreme steps taken by students. The results were a bit shocking to many.
It says The Internet and the Mobile Phone led to a large number of suicides. A 24×7 connection with the Virtual world and a 4-5 hrs of daily use of mobile phones  connects the students with their family and make them a part of every problem arising at  home.internet surfing exposes the students to several sites having information that can  cause a negative impact on the minds.Apart from that students find lots of pressures both  from their academics and their Parents.

Internet surfing exposes the students to several sites having information that can cause a  negative impact on the minds, leading students to suicides according to the results.

According to Professor Prakash Gopalan, Dean, Students’ Welfare, IIT-Bombay “We can’t really  say that the Internet and mobile phones drive students to suicide as there are many parents  who act as support systems via Internet and cellphones.”
Consequently IIT Delhi Director Surendra Prasad comments that “mobile phones and internet  cannot be linked, to suicides.To reach such a conclusion you need to sociologically study past history and data and do a detailed survey. At IIT Delhi we have not done any such thing.”
Some different views.
The brand “IIT” have no role to play here.An IITian or a Non-IItian both have a 24×7  Internet access with long duration mobile chat with friends and family members.An Indian or  a Japanese or Chinese or US student all have access to this electronic facilited virtual  world.Suicide rate is highest in Japan.Should we blame the Virtual world for it?

I have heard about thosands of reasons behind the suicide of an IITian.Inablility to persue  academics, inability to be accepted by his class-mates ,love triangle , Internet addiction. A person fed up with Academics ,getting X grades, sometimes get addicted to the  Internet,anime,X-Men.Anyone among them who escapes into the internet world does it only for  one reason: to fulfill a human being’s very basic need – a sense of belonging. This is  something which fuels for the idea of relinquishing self, when the individual lacks that  sense of belongingness.
If you blame the Internet for suicides then add to the list..Internet causes inflation  deflation in stock markets which rises to Oil Proces subsequently everything.The internet  can be used by unscrupulous people to spread cruel and immoral images and information and  it’s difficult to act against them at present. and blah blah blah…
So close the Internet.

Do any one remember we used to write an essay or composition on the topic “Is science a Bless  or Curse?”

I think we should find some better solution
Do u have one?If yes.please write down.

Someone’s idea of a Perfect First Date!

With a girl who has at least a little crush on me.
Place – Any sea beach in Goa.
Time – Evening, Sunset.

And we both are sitting idle, holding hands, just hoping that the Sunset will never end.

Another foolish romantic who whines and moans all day about the importance of love and the agony of being single? Or is it just another of those guys, who actually make life worth living for, those who still dare to find romanticism in the simplicity of sunset over the glamor of posh restaurants and soft music?

Well, whatever it may be, I have just one thing to say to the guy. If you made this up, you could be a brilliant poet or a politician. And if you wrote it from your heart, any girl would be lucky to have you.

All the best!

The first Comment which I posted and deleted after few days..Posting the same Comment again with few Modifications.
—————————————-

In my Profile in Orkut
it was written sometime.
ideal Match:A bit less confused about herself then other girls.A less freaky about any decision.And a girl who is not sure that she will get the ideal match she has written in her orkut profile.
and lastly beautiful .
Abhi bhi agar Attitude pe nahi laga and any girl thinks herself suitable then can apply by a scrap.You will be well entertained.

Well girls always remains confused about whom to choose as their life partner.And boys do not..it is because girls are in need for Permanent relationship(not another breakup ) and for boys(Specially IIT boys)…”yaar ek gf to mil jaye….yaar nahi mila…aab koi bhi chalega…yaar ek to search kar de”.(hehehe) Boys goes after looks.A Girl goes after boy who can have some time for her and will love her a lot.
—————————————
Now coming to the point..The perfect date part.I like Goa sea beaches the most.Time is evening because i dont like morning time or sit in the afty sunshine.The situation will be more enjoying if it is spring time and a bit less windy day.Now if the girl has a little crush for me…and i have some for her also…in the date i will try to know her she will try to know me.(it will most probably be enjoying )
Else(if either of us have no crush or interest or like that) I will end up with discussions on matters like good features of Vista/Linux or she will end up with what she did with her Ex Boy friends.(bored up!!!)
If we both are hoping for the sunset not to end then both are enjoying what we are talking about.And Thats life!!!

About Posh Restaurants and Soft Musics..Ppl i am a bit short of Money.I will change it soon when i get a good Job.
What i wrote abt this date..It was not fully from my heart.Some other ideas were modified with my choices of place and time.
Among Some more ideas i like…
“Its a long straight highway in the midst of Jungle.I am slowly biking with her on my bike.”

–Complete–
Hopefully I don’t look frustrated (as many ppl infer abt me ) And People please do comment about this discussion.I am liking it.
