The Furobiker

After much fanfare and lot of begging, pleading, threatening, and blackmailing, The Furobiker got a Google Wave invite! I used it for about half an hour, checking all the geeky nerdy websites, and for what all it can be used. My final verdict - Its waste!

I mean unless you have to collaborate with people sitting 7 samundar paar, or you are soo lazy to play sudoku alone, you can use google wave and its sudoku and other apps. It is basically a big chat window, where many people can lazily chat with each other at their own convenient times and inserting whatever apps, video, yes/no questions or whatever in it! I am just wondering why the hell was so much craze and fanfare among people for this?

Anyways one good feature can be termed as "beware!!" feature in Google Wave. If two people are sending each other a wave, Person 2 can real-time character by character read what person 1 is typing! So if you are a patni ka sataya hua pati or girlfriend ka sataya hua boyfriend who vents out his frustration by typing abuses in the chat window but deletes before pressing enter (zindagi kisse pyari nahi hoti bhayya? - who doesn't fear for his life?!). Your game is over now. Buuuhuuuhuuu :(

Anyways if you belong to the rare well read - pade likhe log, here is this site which supposidly is Google Wave 101 guide. If you find a single good reason for me to use google wave, do let me know.

Like they taught us to end letters in school -

Thanking you, Yours Faithfully, Yours sincerely, Yours Truly

A friend of mine recently got specs. And he thinks he became God in the world of chashmish people by wearing them for 2 weeks? I saw his specs and asked do you have cylindrical number

Friend: This specs does not have a cylindrical number.
ME: Bacche tu pichle 5 din se chashma laga raha hai aur main pichle 20 saal se!!

And that was the What the FCUK! moment of the day. I mean considering the fact that i am just 23, having a 20 years experience in wearing chashme is really a big deal. Feels like eternity since i have been wearing them! Phew. And these new arrivals on the chashma team are teaching me !! :O :O

I was going through an old childhood album of mine some days back and i could not find a single fotograph where i am not wearing glasses! Even where i am sleeping i am wearing them! I think i used to believe in the story that you get clear and high quality dreams if you are wearing a chashma! Phew!

By the way, continuing on the chashma topic, the biggest downside of wearing glasses is that you can not wear Goggle-shoggle sharukh eshtyle or Goa eshtyle (holiday fun eyeglasses). So does any of my readers is a chashmish?

Do share your views about the chashmish people / or your experiences of being a chashmish!!
