Forward me please

Greetings, my email-forwarding friend. In view of the undying sincerity with which you have been forwarding all previous emails, I trust that you shall do the same justice to this one as well. Instead of all the previous scams where Bill Gates did not share his fortune with you or those millions from the rebel general's bank account from Nigeria never came... trust me, this is real. You don't have to worry about increasing the size of something or about bad luck coming your way because you did not forward some multi-coloured alphabet to at leasst 50 more weirdos like you. No madam, no such worry.

Answer the simple questionnaire I have prepared below, and you shall know the true nature of your madness. Oh did I say madness? I'm sorry -- I meant that if you answer these questions faithfully, I the mind-reader can reveal the traits of personality which determine your true love type. This has been verified by 108 sorceresses and fortune tellers, and they have unanimously agreed that these questions can truly determine, "What kind of a lover are you?"

Serious answers, only -- keep a list of your answers on a piece of paper:

1. What is 2+2?
a) 4
b) 0
c) 22
d) 5

2. What is your favourite colour?
a) red
b) blue
c) green
d) yellow

3. When you enter a party, you prefer to enter from the ___ side:
a) east (you're the sunrise type)
b) west (the sunset type)
c) north (you're the cold wintry type)
d) south (you're the hot summer type)


4. Which quote do you think applies to you the most
a) Friendship is like an apple; it always falls on Newton's head
b) Friendship is a goat; you must always keep feeding it to get the milk
c) Friendship is like a broken pencil; you must sharpen it to use it
d) Friendship is a trash can; your friends cover up the smelly stuff for you

5. Steve Jobs is sharing his fortune. How many people should you forward this email to if you need $100?
a) one person
b) seven people
c) seventeen people
d) everyone on your contact list

6. If you do not forward this email, Shree Param Sai-bar Baba will
a) curse you into eternal damnation
b) make you lose your job
c) get your butt kicked by the next enunch you meet
d) all of the above


Now, don't cheat! Make sure you have your answers jotted down, and scroll below.






















No you need to scroll a little more ;)




















Okay so here we go.
  1. 1. It is always 4, you idiot. You actually answered that question and thought it had a bearing on your "love and friendship", didn't you? What other stupid things have you answered in your life to determine which type of lover you are? I have the answer - the idiotic kind.

  2. 2. Now, how exactly does the choice of a favourite colour determine what kind of a lover you are? Or for that matter, how does it determine anything other than your favourite colour? I am so fed up of seeing this question on Facebook quizzes, stupid forwards, offline Yahoo messages... Seriously, get a life and choose black, you moron!

  3. 3. Again, how does it matter? Do you ever stop to question the rationale behind these questions when you eagerly answer them? Really... you are the hot hot sizzling summer type if you enter a party from the south?! I know your type -- the dumbass type.

  4. 4. Apple, goat, broken pencil and trash can -- hahhahahaha... is that what you think of friendship? I am really tired of all you jackasses sending these absolute phlegm-atic dainty cupcake quotes everywhere. Go read some real literature if you want to read and/or find quotes. And stop forwarding and leaving these pithy quotes on my orkut scrapbook!

  5. 5. Yeah right... Steve Jobs is sharing his fortune! Please stop forwarding these pieces of junk - they are worse than those "increase your size" emails! And you think he has time to keep track of every single one of the million emails forwarded thus? Also, do you really think anyone should be able to see who you are sending what emails to? Finally, even if you were as rich as he, will you ever share fortune with anyone who sends any lamebrains email?

  6. 6. Hahahaa... my favourite! Seriously, what kind of a "cyber-baba" do you pray to who can even read/send email? And what kind of a god punishes people for not sending out emails? You know, even if all of those things happened to you, you will still forward these pieces of garbage. If you want favours from any such Baba/Ma, please go and donate some money somewhere: that'll do.
So, my dear friend, hope you have achieved enlightenment and are on your path to Nirvana. Please forward this email to everyone you know so that they may also see the light.

Maa khuh chihal a panjam hastam

The hit counter on my blog reached 20074 today. Why you may ask, is that news, and why hadn't I cheered myself up when it was at 20,000 for example? Well, it is news because 20074 has been a very special number for me during my entire college life: it was my admission number, and my system-wide unique identity. It is strange, and surprising, how these numbers become a part of our identity. The social security number, the passport number, the id number in the college, or even your roll number somehow becomes an almost innate part of the day-to-day life. As soon as I see the same number somewhere else: maybe on a telephone, on a hitcounter, maybe somewhere else... a thousand memories are triggered. As my eyes struck the hitcounter showing 20074 right now, I was thrown back to memories of filling up exam answer sheets, hostel admission forms, library recall requests, and so much more! I believe that number was present on almost every official form which I filled in college: even when

Swami Vivekananda and the Indian Renaissance

The following is an article I sent to my mother based on which she presented at one of her conferences. Do read. =======================================  The common perception of Swami Vivekananda as the religious leader who preached Hinduism to the West and established the Ramakrishna Mission in India is a very limited definition of the impact he had on the collective psyche of the common Indian. Besides his direct impact in adding steam to the Indian Renaissance, a large part of his thoughts and writings also affected the other stalwarts of the movement. While fathoming the entirety of his impact on the Indian Renaissance would be impossible, we will briefly explore some aspects of his influence in the following pages. Raja Ram Mohan Roy is generally credited with ushering in the revolution. His numerous ventures that contradicted the prevailing religious opinion of right and wrong broke the stranglehold of the prevalent quasi-religion, the norms of society and its sole autocrati

Tips and tricks for the GRE

Hello everybody, First of all, I thank all of you for the good wishes and congratulations that you have sent... either as mails, PMs, or anyhow. I have also been getting a lot of mails from people asking for tips and tricks and how I made it to the 800 in quants and 700 on the verbal. So if you are prepared for a lot of gyaan (which I love shelling out), here you go: 1. How long does it take to prepare? A: There is no definite time frame. But about 2-3 dedicated hours a day, for about two-and-a-half months is enough. Then, again, it is dependent on your level. To find that out, I'd suggest that you should take one paper-based test that is there in the front of the book (Barron's, Kaplan, anything... or even the Big Book). If you score about 750 on the quants, and about 500 on the verbal (no cheatings, etc) then the time frame I've said should be enough. If you scored more, great... you should try to get to around 1550!! But if less... well, spruce up depending on how
