Gradually we were making everything we wanted to eat. In the first month hardly any dish or any recipie got repeated. How can we forget those days when we all used to go to market for grocery shopping and after that our lunch and dinner. Breakfast and Snacks were usually avoided. Not because of  lack of time or tempo but because of lack of space. Yeah.. the taste of our food kept us always full. Sometimes we used to make Upma , polao, French toast or egg bread bhujia.

After Rupa left Kgp we started exploring the non veg world. Made Chicken four times and every time it was a different preparation. chicken tikka, chilli chicken, fried chicken and finally chicken roast.

Well our achievement doesnt ends here. We got guests too. Nanda, G Khan, Uppu, bando, Haluda, Mukki, Biplab, Gonda. I hope they enjoyed here too and made us enjoy too by their drinks.

By the way…here are the cooks.

Now I donno what to say… now I donno what to do against this terrorism….and now I donno what to do to those parents who have lost their dreams.

Rest in Peace their Souls.

Ankik … you know…you were the best person i have seen. we will remember you. May your soul rest in peace.

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

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.

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