The Google Incident

Hi.... my friends and lovers (if any).... here i am ...back at home in Ranchi.....after a most uninteresting journey by train.....nothing worth mentioning .....unless u r interested in knowing that the railways are campaigning for saving paper....and encouraging us to carry digital tickets in mobiles as pdf or sms....i sincerely obliged...

Besides the rail journey even the midsems were unhappening...i mean i did not miss any 40% midsem exam of any course....Back at home today saw the UP poll results .....glad on seeing the elephant woman uprooted from her throne......was not any good.....raising gigantic elephant statues and making expensive parks can hardly be considered synonymns for growth.....growth means growth of the people and of the state .....not growth of the party.....besides every political, physical, chemical and biological happening in India stimulated only one response from Mayawati- rubbish Dalit talk! Also the new successor of UP- Akhilesh Yadav looks decent to me....people would be expecting a Bihar like change from him.....How things have changed.....What image did Bihar evoke in times of Laloo yadav and Now Bihar is seen as a symbol of change, of growth, of success!!

Speaking of Bihar it reminds me of another incident-more than 6 months back.....i refer it to as The Google Incident. A friend of mine pinged me on Gtalk and sent me a link.....inviting me to watch a 'hot' video......it almost made me smile,we have more than hot videos available on hard disks and that too in HD prints......so i would hardly take pain to open his link for watching any crap.....He insisted that the video had spread like fire among my friends and i would not believe who was in it!! Curiosity got better of me , the link directed me to my gmail account and was asked to log in....i didnt give any thought  and logged in my gmail account.....to find nothing but my read mails....soon i got a ping back.....saying ur account is mankey365@gmail,com and passwd was kungpanda2.....if u want ur new passwd u r advised not to log out of ur gtalk and follow the given instructions.....!! and then he gave me a phone number asking me for a Rs 200 recharge within two hours if i wanted to see my account!

Now i did not exactly consider my gmail account as my girlfriend or wife or sister....in fact not any relative as far as i know...but i loved my gmail account.....i wd never have deserted my gmail or cheated on it ......but only as long as i did not have to spend a single penny on it! I called my roomie to my rescue.....now my roomie Anurag KS did play a role in the whole rescue operation but i wd hv been much more proud of him if he had shown some style in the rescue like in Hollywood flicks !! My roomie threw some lines at him on the gtalk....something like if he realized what he was doing and could go to jail and he was messing with wrong people.....i will hardly consider ever using such threats....they only reveal ur weakness and desperation .....instead i would love to annoy him saying something like he must raise his standards and not beg for Rs 200 from people like me to buy his bread.....not that these lines would do any good.......!!

 Meanwhile my gtalk refreshed and i was signed out ....the guy had the nerves of calling me and asked me why was the recharge not done yet.....I should have said something funny mayb like "wait a sec dude ...Ambani is on the other line waiting for my order to recharge ur number"......he had already removed my security question......still somehow i reset my passwd using my alternative email id.....I was going to remove his phone number he had fed .....when he pinged me to see if i really had logged into my account back !! He wrote '?'.... i replied ':)'......it would have been greater pleasure writing "Nobody gets the better of Sherlock Mayank Holmes" but what a pity, it did not strike me then and before i could write anything on the chat he rechanged my passwd again using his fed phone no...... And then so did I again using my alternative mail id ! The "El Classico" of password changing continued for a brief time before my roomie came with a  David Villa killer instinct and shut the game with a winning goal in an awesome 1 minute game—removing his phone number and   other data before he could do anythg !! If i was wearing a Barca t shirt then i would have removed it and waved it like we had won the La Liga!  My roomie did not even ask for a treat!!

Now if you were Sherlock Holmes like me a question wd have crossed ur mind......why did i write earlier Bihar reminded me of this incident.....it so happened that after everything ended i spent quite a time on securing my gmail and fb accounts .....doing so i found ip addresses of some place of recent login-- the ip is 117.197.76.114 and on doing some googling it shows as Bihar- Bailey Road- the coordinates are 25.6N 85.1167E .......no idea if its correct or not......if any of my readers know sci fi stuff or have any news related to cyber complaints pls do tell me !!
