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.

Alibis for not starting up

Ideas for blaming the procrastination you showed in starting your venture/startup, on factors outside your other"wise" ..duh later.. field of influence-

1. Not many of your facebook friends "Like" the idea.
2. Your maid didn't show up and you had to do all the dishes yourself and so could not work on your business plan.
3. (Only for geeks) Your object reference was not set to an instance of an object.
4. You had so many great ideas and could not decide which one to start with.

But if you're through with all such gastroendomytholingualdynacrosiac
reasons, you can start by visiting

Passions and Fears

Graffitaria View

Passions and fears make a lethal combination. The nature of both these is such that one contradicts the other, but when they do collide it is annihilation, matter meeting anti matter. The hollow spaces created suck the instruments of life and form within.
These two forces are generally mutually exclusive and strong enough to curb the other. But in the rare scenarios where their scopes mingle into each other, a havoc is created. The observer of such a scene may look at the results from different perspectives and come out with different conclusions accordingly. One might say that greater sense of the passion prevailed, though with a tough fight, and finally fears were crushed. The other might have another vantage point and will conclude exactly the opposite. It is only a careful all round observation that reveals the destruction of everything; passions and fears alike.

Passion and fear though seemingly antithetical might not necessarily be so. There are instances when fear leads to passion. In fact, fear is a fuel for passion, I would say. Imagine a person stuck in a deep well with no apparent way out. The first emotion in such a scenario would no doubt be fear. Fuelled by the fear of getting stuck in the well forever, a person will be motivated to find a way out. The forced need for persistence in searching for a way will gradually lead to a passion of the subject. Surely this is not always the case but I see a few instances when this is imminent.

Idea-lly

Ideas have a peculiar time when they pop up in the usually vast crevices of our brains. As Oasis said... "All your dreams are made, when you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade"... Though these lines do not encompass half of the demographic, however they've been proving quite true for me at least, provided I'm not rushing for office and peeling off in a hurry rather than shaving. The other, rather more creative time, i guess, is when I'm in my bed and not asleep at night. That makes up a long time considering the inveterate insomniac i am. The ideas range from all the song structures i want to write, all the scales i want to play, all the lyrics i wish to write, all that i want to do in my life, all that i could have said, all that i should not have said, all i could have expected, all i should have expected, the time i had been right, the time i thought i was right. The problem is that most of them are either forgotten or are suppressed by an even stronger idea which eventually gets forgotten. Well today's shaving session went into trying to figure out a solution for this. Don't tell me i could write the ideas down!!... Neither i would get up from bed to get my notepad and if writing while shaving, i don't want to end up using pen on my face and razor on the paper...
