I got a new Airtel postpaid in the last week of January. When their executive came to get the documents verified, his records showed my name with my father’s name as my middle name, which I promptly got omitted (because none of my other official documents have it, I don’t use a middle name). He gave a stupid reply “Sir, this is Maharashtra, it is compulsory to use a middle name”. I still “forced” him to strike it out.

Now coming back to the topic, just 24 hours after I bought my connection and this “middle name” incident happened, I get a call from Bharti Axa Life Insurance’s Mumbai office selling me some oh-so-wow insurance policy. This executive called me by [<First Name> <Middle Name>] which makes it very obvious who was “selling” customers’ personal information. Note that both Airtel and Bharti Axa Life Insurance are associated to the Bharti group. I told the insurance salesman that I didn’t want one and hung up.

But this morning again, he called up again, and I was writing my Financial & Cost Accounting exam. The mobile rang right 30 minutes into the exam (okay my bad, I forgot to switch it off). Had it not been for the understanding invigilator, I would have been PWND.

I just eyewitnessed a snatch-and-run crime right outside my place here in Pune. I was logging on to my blog (we have to sit outside in the parking for the wi-fi to work) and my next door neighbor was sitting outside his building on the steps. Suddenly two people appeared out of nowhere on a bike, snatched his cellphone, apparently kicked him in the abdomen and fled even as half a dozen people tried to chase but in vain.

My landlady promptly opened her window from the first floor and advised to lock the front gate. I am still shocked though, I could have been a target, if that guy was not there, I had my roommate’s laptop (you guys might not know, but my own laptop was stolen last September and it wasn’t even a month old then), my PSP, my wallet and my cellphone, all waiting to be snatched, and the fact that barely 30 seconds ago, I was out on the road to stretch myself doesn’t make me feel too comfortable either!

To be on the safer side, we’ve decided that whenever we use the laptop, the front gate should be locked (NO EXCUSES). I’ve also taken an individual decision that my PSP doesn’t go out of the main gate in the night. I am not too worried about my cellphone though… (it cost just INR 1200 and already has a bad display, so…).

I just finished reading Chetan Bhagat’s Five Point Someone.

I somehow could not relate to the book and there is a very silly, although real reason for that. So here’s the shocker, how on earth did these 3 jokers miss most of their classes and still remain on the rolls. I mean here in my college, I have to have 75% attendance by hook or by crook to be even eligible for appearing in the exams.

Moving on to the part when Hari is caught in Professor Cherian’s car, no smartass would ever make that big a mistake to travel in the devil’s car on the devil’s campus, I mean just how careless could he get!

The book although is based on a true story, seemed like a fiction work wanting to be real-life-inspired.

I’ll not rate this more than 1.5 out of 5.

Another one from the Ninzy stable.

There is a burgalary at a bank. When the police arrives (the usual Indian police way, hours after the incident), the bank manager is still screaming Chor! Chor! Chor!

The police arrests the bank manager on charges of this burgalary. WHY ?

Because “Chor Machaye Shor”.

This is the first one in the Ninzy series. He’s translated the “Maa..” song from Taare Zameen Par.

Orignal Lyrics (Hindi)

Main Kabhi Batlata Nahin
Par Andhere Se Darta Hoon Main Maa
Yun To Main,Dikhlata Nahin
Teri Parwaah Karta Hoon Main Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata, Hain Na Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata,,Meri Maa

Bheed Mein Yun Na Chodo Mujhe
Ghar Laut Ke Bhi Aa Naa Paoon Maa
Bhej Na Itna Door Mujkko Tu
Yaad Bhi Tujhko Aa Naa Paoon Maa
Kya Itna Bura Hoon Main Maa
Kya Itna Bura Meri Maa
Jab Bhi Kabhi Papa Mujhe
Jo Zor Se Jhoola Jhulate Hain Maa
Meri Nazar Dhoondhe Tujhe
Sochu Yahi Tu Aa Ke Thaamegi Maa

Unse Main Yeh Kehta Nahin
Par Main Seham Jaata Hoon Maa
Chehre Pe Aana Deta Nahin
Dil Hi Dil Mein Ghabraata Hoon Maa
Tujhe Sab Hai Pata Hai Naa Maa
Tujhe Sab Hai Pata Meri Maa

Main Kabhi Batlata Nahin
Par Andhere Se Darta Hoon Main Maa
Yun To Main,Dikhlata Nahin
Teri Parwaah Karta Hoon Main Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata, Hain Na Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata,,Meri Maa

I just wanted to introduce my classmate (and jokemate) Ninzy (officially goes by the name of Ninad Mahajan) to my readers.

Ninzy aka Ninad Mahajan

He is extremely funny and quick witted, so expect yourself to be ROFLOLing with his jokes from now on.

Maharashtra’s CM Deshmukh has resigned. But like a true politician, he has spat some venom on the cameras. “The BJP Ministers did not resign after the attack on parliament”,

Just to remind you Mr Deshmukh, the terrorists involved in the attack were either killed on the spot or investigated and sentenced. It was your government who failed to execute the setence.

I hope you’ve got your facts right now.

I nearly lost out on booking my tickets back to college in Pune ( via Mumbai) when I was using IRCTC’s online booking. The site just isnt compatible with Firefox, a fact which I was not aware of (I’d rather use IE than trying to work around because the tickets in Tatkal quota finish in 2-3 minutes of the counter opening).

IRCTC is not the only case, the same happens with most of the other websites run by the government, like those of the MCD & NDPL.

I thought you guys you should check this excellent blog post.

… it’s just a Bollywood Joke.

SRK is eating out at a restaurant. He’s almost finished with his meal and it’s the time the restaurant closed.
