Dear Friend :D

January 28, 2010 / / 0 Comments

Nothing special, just a stupid spam mail. Found it really funny 😀

Dear friend,

Do accept my apology if my email does not meet your personal ethics but i
hope it makes our acquaintance. I have a business proposal for you, worth
the sum of US$17,500,000.00 Million of which you will be fully entitled
to. if you so desire. This transaction is legal and totally risk free but
due to the high level of insecurity over the internet, it’s really
difficult to know if you are trust worthy because it will take a great
deal of trust for me to let you in on this transaction.
Therefore, if you are fully interested in this deal and want more
information, kindly send me an email to my private email address [
chen.guan0ff1@yahoo.com.hk ] and please include your
FULL NAME; ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER; so that i can contact you immediately.

Regards,
Mr. Chen Guan

Shopping grrrrrrrr….

Note: This post is the result of the frustration coming from a failed shoopping attempt that took almost the whole day 🙁 .

I had to buy a pair of sports shoes. So attempts for that have been going on since last few months 😀 . Today was just another attempt with some hope but it failed miserably. Now it has been few months, I guess and many places in Delhi and all the main brands ie Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Puma but I haven’t got a decent pair of shoes. Don’t know there is nothing available in the market or there is something seriously stupid with my choice. People love it but for me, in general, shopping is a really tough exercise, specially when it needs to be done in a time frame. Like there comes a marriage next week and comes a need to get a new shirt. I haven’t been much successful in all such endeavors. But yes, many times I have got good stuff while visiting some mall without any specific shopping ideas. So folks, not much stuff to write. Just wanted to release some frustration 😛 . But seriously, these days buying some decent clothes is becoming really tough. Leave proper formals, otherwise decent clothes are hard to find. India is running really fast in this fashion (wearing some seriously not-so-decent clothes is fashion, no ? 😉 ) lane !!!

How do you keep track of comments ?

For the people, who read a number of blogs, how exactly you keep track of comments you post and then their replies ? I find it really difficult to do job. It is kind of a manual stuff for me. I don’t see Subscribing to comments as a really good option as it would send mail after each and every comment on the post. Any better suggestions ?

Are you sure ?

In last 6 months or so, I was looking for a job change so I created my profiles on different job portals. This post is an advice that if you are doing the same, never create your profile on timesjobs.com. It is completely crappy website. They have nothing useful to send you. Rather you will get some useless mails talking about say Storage Admin whereas your profile is of a C/C++ developer.  Moreover I couldn’t find an option to delete the profile from there. Some of the standard mail subjects you will always be receiving from their side:

  • Xyz, are you sure you are in the right job?
  • Xyz, grab these jobs before they are gone.
  • Xyz, 7 job opportunities waiting inside.

That is it. You will receive nothing more, nothing less. So stick to Naukri & Monster, if you are looking for a change 🙂 .
