Your callers will now listen to tring tring





If you thought taunts are the weapons used only by your wives, girlfriends, moms, aunties (basically all the ladiezz in your life), think again and read on.

Airtel had recently started the caller tune service on my mom's cell without being asked and humbly and politely (and secretly) they started charging her for it. When we noticed it and complained, they admitted the mistake and agreed to stop the services and return the charged amount. All was well but the real fun was the confirmation sms that we received. It went like - "You have been unsubscribed from airtel hello tunes service. Your callers will now listen to tring tring. Call 543213 to listen to full songs". Hahaha. Guys, that was brilliant. I still cant stop laughing. From my side airtel gets 10/10 for humor.

Cheer for Xavier

Visited school today after a long time. Reached there at 6:45pm and it was dark already. Quite a crowd... packing up after the evening sports sessions. Guys at the football field, basketball junta, people running on the upper field. Met the gym coach and some 12thies pumping the iron. Was a great chat. The coach invited me to join the gym till the time i'm in jaipur. Tempting as it sounds, but couldn't as LetsStartUp is keeping me busy full time (yeah i know the word in your head.. excuses excuses... but take my word for this).
Then a walk around the campus. Junior school corridors, assembly ground, canteen, cricket nets, senior school building, senior assembly ground, THE STEPS, and THE STEPS off the school hall(the ones above 9C and 9B), parade ground/cricket pitch... Beautiful.
All was well except one thing. The administration has installed cameras all around the campus!! yes they have..What the.. they cover all the grounds and buildings.. and the toilets too!!. Come on people, how will the guys "install" bummms in there. Spare us a bummm or two at diwali. kiddin.. but still, why? An occasional bunk or two is healthy. Let them do it.

All said, Xaviers rocks.
