RajIt’s been a long time since I wrote my favorite kind of post, the one with an unordered list. So here it is.
- I used to get a lot of spam 2-3 years back when hotmail didn’t have a spam detection engine. Most of these mails claimed that I had pre-approved credit cards and loans waiting for me. Of course, it was a lie. But last week, I got a real mail from Citibank telling me that I had a gold credit card waiting for me and I just had to login to their site, click on a button and it would be delivered to me. Now, I know it’s no big deal and I already have the card they are offering me so I won’t even be taking it but still it felt really good to be “pre-approved”.
- Last weekend, I watched The Omen and Chup Chup Ke. The Omen was supposed to be a horror movie but it wasn’t too scary. Of course, there were scenes when the women in the audience got scared and shouted and I laughed but the movie was just okay. Also, I could clearly see the boom in at least three scenes. Chup Chup Ke was supposed to be a comedy, on the other hand, which it was in the first half but in the second half it became a cheap family melodrama where both the main actresses (Kareena Kapoor and Sushma Reddy) wanted the actor to marry the other one and the actor (Shahid Kapoor) just moved from side to side like a puppet. It was difficult to sit in the theatre for the last 30 minutes of the movie. On the whole, it was an average movie.
- My training is finally over. It feels so good to sit in a cubicle again instead of a training room. And it’s a pretty nice and big cubicle so I like it here.
what is with u and lucio and credit cards
*sigh when will boys grow up and stop playin with plastic toys*
i get scared easily so i wont watch omen even tho u didnt find it sooooo scary!
and chup chup ke sounds like a dud man ! how could u go and see it!!!
cool.. r the cublicles bigger than the prev company .. mail me afew pics
i just *hate* spam.
have not watched the 2 movies. though i wanted to watch the original movie “omen”.
Also, I could clearly see the boom in at least three scenes.
HUH!?!! boom?!
@akanksha: This time its not about the credit card. Its about “pre-approved”. I would have been just as happy if I was offered a pre-approved personal loan or something.
I for some reason thot that Chup Chup Ke wud be good and it wasnt too bad.
Ya, the cubicles are yooge! Dont have any pics but will mail u once i take few.
@freeze: Ya, everyone hates spam, of course, expect the people who are in the business of spam creation.
Boom n. a pole carrying an overhead microphone projected over a film or tv set.
I hope that made it clear
I had also got a call from citibank saying that a pre approved gold card was waiting for me…I said no just because I have 3 cards and did not want one more
It feels good to have a pre approved card…and it feels even better to say no
I cannont stand a horror movie … those are too scary…neways i watched X-Men 3 finally.
it felt really good to be “pre-approved” Imagine u getting 3 calls a day 6 days a week from them .. and hearing the same word “pre-approved” doesn’t excites me…next time they say that esp for personal loan ask them is it FREE .. he he .. they have not replied back to me
Congrats on your completion of training.
And yeah I have only seen the Gregory Peck’s original OMEN. It was not like Exorcist but still scary.
@lucio: You are right. It does feel even better to say no
@abhinav: Really? Scary? How?
How was X-3? The reviews werent too good.
Free personal loan, huh!
Well, ya, they have only called me twice besides mailing me till now. I hope they dont call anymore.
@greensatya: Thanks!
Yup, the exorcist is the best. I remember watching the original omen but dont remember the movie itself.
yeah now it is clear.. hehe. i know what it was, but didnt know that it was called “boom”
And finally, it’s good to see a blog post!
@freeze: I guess u r not as filmy as I am
@vinaya: Thanks. I’m free these days so expect more posts
It is good that you at least take time to check if it is a spam.Recenlty ended a very famous T.V show (Big love) based on polygamy,in which one of the wives just started using the checks and credit card and the huband was finally on debt of $ 60 thousand.
It is very common here in The U.S.A,that credit card companys keep sending you the credit cards and checks and if you fall in their trap,you are going to cry for your whole life.
@sharda: Well, even in India, the trend of sending unwanted cards is catching on. Credit card frauds are also increasing.
