1x02: You've got mail

Emails now have become too predictable. All i gotta do is read the senders' name and the subject to know what the content would be. To add to that there are persons and formats who just wouldn't change.

For weeks now,one of the last emails that i check is from the same sender, henceforth I shall call her Barbie Doll. For she resembles a doll and for a change her emails are all about races, films and Music shows. She has devised three formats for the three subjects thati just mentioned. It was a very convenient arrangement for everyone.

Options:

* delete it straight away (another junk)
* Delete it (Subject not of choice)
* Open it


and if you are not interested in one of them you can safely click the .

Races: I have never been a fan/follower of this particular form of race but during the course of last year things changed.

to bear the pain on your arse as well as wallet) but all these were I had a television at home, lot of spare time to kill, i lived at a place which offered zero possibility of venturing out for recreation ( unless you decide to ride down to Noidaminuscule in comparison with the Barbie Doll's plea to watch and cheer for her driver and her team, I just can't turn down her appeal.
So armed with valid reasons I started watching them from July 2, 2006.

I don't remember anything about it for i was mourning the English retreat from Gelsenkirchen.
Something or the other always kept me occupied so that i have nothing valuable to say about the next 15 races that have taken place between now and than. The results however mattered a lot, with every win for her driver, the barbie doll would oblige me with a mail which just went on to aggravate my Monday Morning blues. I received just 4 such emails so I sat down to review all the matches and the results.

Nothing but a graph would be appropriate.

What i interpret is the driver is awesome and i will cheer for him more when he goes on to compete in car rally or changes pavilion but the Machine ain't.

The reason i get pissed off receiving such emails is there ain't people in this company who care about what goes on with Moto GP, heck we don't even have a circuit here. It ain't the machine that's fetching you the victories but the man ( in this local domain he is more famous than schumi) and in the Indian context we are nothing but a teetotaller for such talks.

Lastly, this is how i receive those emails.

Hi,

Finally, the 2007 season is about to begin.The inaugural year of the XXX era commences on March XXth, 2007.

Together with the XXX-machine, XXX-the man will draw his sword in the land of sand, and fight to take the championship back.

XXX-thecompany is the Sponsor for XXX-the event.

So tomorrow do watch XXX at 17:30 hrs on ESPN and Cheer for XXX-the company.

Barbie Doll's team

Films: I recall my days watching films in cinema halls, Isolated as they were than. The intervals were met with either a sudden urge to relief yourself or grab a cold drink, for one was least interested in reading "smoking cigarette is injurious to your health" over the large screen.

Those still social messages have given way to full length motion commercials and that's exactly what she conveys to me next. She tells me which Multiplexes should i be going if i have to convince my Friends that i work with a firm which is still operational for they all keep doubting the same. These so and so multiplexes spread all over India will be screening our ads during the intermission break. Now that's something i will definitely keep in mind next time i go out for a film.


Music Shows: I never deleted such mails without noticing the venue and the time. Though i never took the trouble to actually attend one. Some of the bands that performed in these shows were good and i had heard them before and i repent not attending one. For the last 2 months, i hadn't received any such mails and i bet if i would have, i would have gone.

There are other group mails that i receive, but more about them later.

Prologue:
Before it commences and survives the test of time, I would reiterate that i wanted to pursue blogging as a hobby but someway or the other it never materialized. Now that I have started I hope i will pay heed to it in the same way as i am about some of the other things in my life.


Act 1:
Curiosity(strike through) A Wanton to kill time drew me closer to the monitor of rahul1821 who after the departure of sethi is the only one left to Cooperate with me while we go on leg pulling one of our colleagues over the lunch table.

The window on top had an appearance of Word web interface and i thought may be he is mugging.

Mugging ??

Naah, I thought so he was deeply engrossed into knowing his future pondering over his horoscope thanks to an email forwards that you keep on receiving again and again.
Naturally I took turn to feed in my details and the first line said " You have lived for 9002 days". That's too many. Now if i gotta write something about me where should i being with. Office hours i finally up and i am left by myself with some thinking to do.

Later last night i did spent some time thinking over the same and came up with some of the pit stops worth mentioning
