I just read somewhere that a movie called Pulse will be releasing next year. This movie is a story of a guy who dies and then starts sending his buddies e-mails.
I apologize to all those folks on my floor that I scared silly by suddenly bursting into laughter after reading this news. It took me a good half an hour of giggling to recover from this news.
What cracked me up was the thought of a ghost using email!!! After battling with spam and forwards now we will get unsolicited mails from ghosts too?? :-p I tried to conjure up a hypothetical situation wherein a ghost sends emails and the resultant turn of events. Now imagine that one day you get a spine chilling e-mail from a ghost:
ghost@xyz.com: “I want your credit card numbers!”
Mail comes back to ghost with this message: “this user does not exist!”
Ghost resends mail to your other email ID
Mail comes back with this message: “sorry, this user has exceeded his quota.”
Ghost tries your office ID, mail returns with this message: TRANSACTION FAILED - Unrepairable Virus Detected. Please contact your mail administrator.
Now what can a honest upright ghost do in such a situation? He has tried all legal routes to haunt you but failed. So he does a Patrick Swayze act to intimidate you by typing this sinister message on a MS Word document on your PC.
“Silverine,
I want all your credit card numbers. Or else....”
Signed:
Mr. Ghost
Suddenly an ugly talking paper clip materializes from nowhere, blinks and enquires: It looks like you are writing a letter. Would you like help?
Ghost jumps out of his ectoplasm in fright at the sudden appearance of the ugly talking paper clip.The ugly talking paper clip looks awfully like his skeleton back in the grave. He doesn't like the ugly talking paper clip. He tries to scare ugly talking paper clip but ugly talking paper clip stares right back at him unfazed smiling and blinking. Ghost tries to close document to get rid of ugly talking paper clip but ugly talking paper clip enquires : Do you want to save changes to the document?
Ghost retreats in haste, thinks for some time and tries new tactic. He opens Microsoft Outlook. Ugly talking paper clip reappears. Now it is the ghost's turn to feel haunted! He clicks on ugly talking paper clip in trepidation. Ugly talking paper clip asks: What would you like to do?
Ghost types: Get Silverine’s credit card numbers.
Ugly talking paper clip replies: Listen buster! I have been trying to get her credit card numbers too for the past two years, now buzz off!!
Ghost makes New Year resolution never to mess with technology again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok folks, I will stop here for now. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2006. I don’t think I will be able to blog till month end as I have a very noble duty to accomplish! And that is to ensure my chetan ( my eldest brother) reaches the wedding altar willingly or unwillingly ( even if I have to drag him there). My to-be-sis-in-law is paying me big money for this.
So take care, have a blast partying this Xmas and New Year. Don’t drink and drive, observe lane discipline, tip the traffic cops generously etc. etc. ( this is a FREE public service message for which the cops have agreed to pay scant attention to my traffic misdemeanors for the next one month! Yipeee)

Happy holidays! (Politically correct)
Hope you manage to drag your bro to the altar and leave him there!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year..
And hearty congratulations to your bro.. :-)
"I tried to conjure up"
and i began to conjure up another rofl begining to yet another silverine post day :)
honestly, i dont think ghost would have had any success even if her mails didnt bounce(i make the assumption that unlike popular imagination devil is actually a female..trust me here :) ). After all, a person who suffers from amnesia when it comes to remembering her passwords can hardly be expected to remember her 16 digit credit card number!
enjoy ragging ur poor elder bro (ahem..but remember that he will get a chance to return the favor!).
as per your advice i shall strictly follow "line" discipline during this vacaion :)
Cheerio
MoC
PS: where is the wedding invitation??
PPS: The nasrani community is yet to take a decision on ur punishment. The meeting had to be twice adjourned as barrels of anthi kallu was found (placed there by an achayathi i am sure!) at the location and members realigned their priorities.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Enjoy this break from blogs and marriage proposals concealed as comments.
MM
Wishing you a Merry Xmas & a great New Year! And yeah, congrats to your bro too!
May the silver fox do well at the Happy Hunting Grounds!
the ghost opened MS word that this ugly looking paper clip appeared from no where..
"entammachi!!" the ghost screamed out of fear for the first time in his life..
"what do u want son?" the ugly lookin paper clip asked.
having decided not to lose his 'value' the ghost replied, "i want 'SILVERINE's' cred...."
"entammooo!!" that was from the ugly lookin paper clip as if it heard something scary and it disappeared into nowhere in no time. and the circle of irony completes..
merry christmas to u and ur family and all and also best wishes for ur bro and sis-in-law.. :-)
then think about an evil warlord who starts typin up his plan for world domination! Word would be so buggy, he'd never finish. I think bill gates did that pre emptively:D
aich ghost sending emails. wadda scene. make it use gmail, never fails. tch tch, movies ppl make these days. very saddenin too see ppl run out of ideas. king kong sucked ass. :((
anyways, yappy chrismas and a merry new yeer. dont drink n drive, smoke weed n fly. :laugh laugh:

@MoC:Why do you think the ugly paper clip was so pissed off? lol Getting me to remember 6 digit passwords is in itself a herculean task lol The change in location has been noted, further reinforcements in the form of more anthi kallu and an additional piece of entertainment has been arranged to tilt nasrani priorities forever!!!( SF)
@Jithu: Kahani mein twist!!!! lol
