"AAJ TAK" - the fastest news service spreading rumours

How can people be so stupid?
well.. just yesterday while I was out attending a marriage... one of my relatives came to me sounding distressed... apparently he had been watching the news and "aaj tak" news channel reported some 27 deaths .. and the cause?
You get a call from an unkown number.. and when you answer the call ... you instantly die of brain hemorrhage. This is because the call activates a virus which sends out high-frequency waves...

I mean.. how stupid is that!
First... how the hell does a call activate a virus?

Second... Are the handset makers stupid enough to provide speakers that can emit such high frequency tones? (well ... even NORMAL programs do go wrong.. and they are aware of that.. so they will never take such a risk)

Third... Why does the screen turn red?.. does the mobile OS somehow get a premonition of the forthcoming death? :P

and Last... technical.. but well.. even the techies were taken for a ride by this rumour...
Do you know the concept of bands? .. no signal outside a band of frequencies is accepted or transmitted.. bandpass filters ensure that.. so how the heck does this new virus circumvent that?

New cell

its been 10 days since i got this new cell : Sony Ericsson W200i...




cool, isn't it?
I've been addicted to this ...

although there are some shortcomings like no bluetooth, only a VGA camera and only 128MB mem, it has everything I want.
Walkman facility with high quality mega-bass headphones and the usual games and applications. The GUI is great. and unlike the LG or panasonic handsets, the buttons are easy to use.
The lack of bluetooth is somewhat compensated by infrared. atleast I can transfer themes and small wallpapers, if not large applications and games.
The looks are typically Sony Ericsson, rocks !!

and the most imp thing : its real cheap... 6380 bucks is what it costs !! with amazing functionality packed in!!

The worst thing

the worst thing in life is to be dependent on someone...
no doubt people will say that social life is full of dependencies.. but you can sometimes do without them.. what i am talking about are dependencies from which you can't even flee... you are like a helpless animal in the cage... you can't live with it, you can't live without it !!

badd!!

What do you make of this?

(This is purely a work of fiction:P)

what do you make of it when -
1. You find yourself frequenting places where she hangs out?
2. When you can't concentrate on your fav work just coz you may miss out a glance at her?
3. When your eyes constantly search for her?
4. When you can't act normally when she is around?
5. When you are tongue-tied when she is around?
6. When you get a sudden surge of gloom when she says "bye"?
7. When you are jealous if she talks to someone else?
8. When you feel down if there's no contact since days?
9. When your insides toss and turn just looking at her smile?
10. When you feel at the top of the world when you make her laugh?
11. When you just want the time to freeze and the "others" to vanish in thin air, when you are with her?
12. And finally, when you are disappointed when she calls you only a "friend"?:D .. sigh!
