Fear knows no bounds! (Boooo Hoooooo!)

This is a true 'spirited' story!


Disclaimer: I flicked it off a forward, but its still a nice read!



This is a true story of a young college girl who passed away last month. Her name was Priya. She was hit by a lorry. She has a boy friend named Shankar. Both of them are true lovers. They always hang on the phone. You can never see her without her handphone. In fact she also changed her phone from Airtel to Hutch, so both of them can be on the same network, and save on the cost.

She spends half of the day talking with shankar. Priya's family knows about their relationship. Shankar is very close with Priya's family. (just imagine their love) . Before she passed away she always told her friends "If I pass away please burn me with my handphone" she also said the same thing to her parents.

After her death, people cant carry her coffin, I was there. A lot of them tried to do so but still cant , everybody including me, had tried to carry the coffin, the result is still the same. Eventually, they called their neighbour, a "bomoh" from Thailand (pak Darin), who is a friend of her father. He took a stick and started speaking to himself slowly.

After a few minutes, he said "this girl misses something here". then her friends told Darin about her intentions to burn her with her phone. He then opened the coffin and place her phone and SIM card inside the casket. after that they tried to carry the coffin. It could be moved and they carried it into the van easily. All of us were shocked. (can u feel the fear. I'm shaking at this moment)

Priya's parents did not inform Shankar that Priya had passed away. After 2 weeks Shankar called Priya's mom. Shankar :...."I'm coming home today. Cook something nice for me. Dont tell Priya that I'm coming home today, i wanna surprise her." Her mother replied....."You come home first, i wanna tell you something very important."

After he came, they told him the truth about Priya. Shankar thinks that they were fooling him. He was laughing and said "dont try to fool me - tell Priya to come out, i have a gift for her Please stop this nonsense". then they show him the original death certificate to him. They gave him proof to make him believe. (Shankar started to sweat) ..

He said... "Its not true. we spoke yesterday. She still calls me. Shankar was shaking.

Suddenly, Shankar's phone rang. "see this is from Priya, see this..." he showed the phone to priya's family. all of them told him to answer.he talked using the loudspeaker mode. all of them heard his conversation.

Loud and clear, no cross lines, no humming. It is the actual voice of Priya there is no way others could use her SIM card since it is nailed inside the coffin they were so shocked and asked for pak Darin's help again. pak Darin brought his master (tok Chen) to solve this matter. He Darin worked for 5 hours and found out.............





Wherever you go, our network follows!!!! (Heaven or Hell)



HUTCH has the best coverage :P


Aussies and their Ego!

"I watched Roger Federer [at the Australian Open] the other day and thought, 'What a true champion'," Vincent said on Newstalk ZB."He's the sort of guy you want to watch because he plays the game well and he's humble about it." This actually sums up everything about arrogance on the field and sledging that I've been wanting to say over years.


I think many a times aussies get away with sledging the opponents by covering up the same way hayden did. He says: 'We could be playing kick a cockroach from here to the wall and we'd want to be competitive.' Now, there is a lot of difference between being competitive and then going over the line and sledging and abusing people.


For once, I think technology would help curb this menace at least for the time being. We should have better stump mikes which would be able to hear anything that reaches the batsman's ear. I still dont understand the difference between a racial slur and sledging (care to explain!).


When you call someone a 'pig' (remember Big Brother and Shilpa Shetty), its how the other person perceives that matters not your inner meaning. So, if Gibbs could be banned for racial slur, so should aussies too. And for these players to be convicted we should have evidence on the table.


Bottom Line: Get a big stump mike (mic) with whatever booster you need and record everything. Let a separate panel analyze these tapes after every game. I am sure Ricky Ponting would be the first one to be banned! :) "Talk about red-blooded competition then Mr. Hayden!"
