Hi Friends

GIRLS BEWARE PLEASE..IT IS SERIOUS! HELP URSELF
It has recently been found out that there are some spammers present on
Orkut who download the Photographs of Girls from their Profile and they get 5percent per photograph.
This photographs are later sent into Image Editors like
Photoshop where they are morphed and superimposed on the images of Porn Stars.
These people are so expert in this field that the photographs looks
completely real and anyone can get deceived by generated images.
These photographs are then used for multiple purposes like Printing in
International Magazines, Uploading on paid Porn Sites and sometimes even
blackmailing. And the post consequences are a known fact.
So after knowing about this fact my advice to all my friends and their sisters.
Please remove their photo’s from Orkut and don’t give the culprits a chance to do play around with You.

After all Prevention is better than Cure

AUR BHAI LOG PLZ IS MAIL KO JAHAAN TAK HO SAKE FORWARD KARO

TAKE CARE

first, we had the mail about how orkut was shutting down, and how we had to forward some tripe.. which is magically tracked; and amazingly this server load will convince them to keep the damn thing alive. orkut decided to spell things out, and luckily put paid to that one.

and now, for the great “girl-saviour-mail”.

to all the people who forward this thinking its true and/or they are doing their friends a social service -

why ?

spammers.. is incidentally the wrong term for pervert morphers, dummy. you actually believe they’re going to spend lots and lots of time in going to through the millions of profiles there for the miniscule percentage of people who have pictures in their profile. then after this exhauting process, they’re going to find pictures that are actually having faces at angles suitable for morphing. the fact that orkut pics are at crappy resolution will obviously not come to such thickskulled lamebrains.

and the end-result of this laboriously stupid process ? they will make morphed images. morphed images that are “completely real”. morphs are the simplest things in the world to identify. i have found ONE apparently real pic in 7 years of surfing the net. and even that ONE, i knew was a fake, because.. the actress in question could not have posed in that manner. she was dead.

my point ? say my friend’s pic is found in the above process. and morphed. no matter HOW much the pervert tries, they’ll never make it convincing enough to fool me. i know her. and if random people you DON’T know find it.. but fucking deal. no-one collects this crap - except other perverts. and they’re beyond help anyway.

so, now these absolutely useless obviously fake morphs are to be sold to “International Magazines”(which are checking their mail for such breaking news every second - international crises be damned, we have to publish bad pics of unknown people morphed onto fake bodies), “Uploading on paid Porn Sites”(which have suddenly faced a shortage in the biggest industry in any country - ie porn, not to mention the faster growing MMS-clip industry), and “even blackmailing”. yes. i am going to give you money for fake pictures of me that no-one can accept as real if in their right minds anyway. and if they do, i certainly don’t want to know them.

“And the post consequences are a known fact.”
what fucking consequences ? post what ? my losing every grey cell in my head, and becoming a blathering numbnut like you ?
give me a fucking break.

incidentally.. should guys be worried about gay porn as well ? why the discrimination ?

and of course, the killer. advice from the demented senile mind that came up with this hogwash: flee ! flee ! remove your pictures ! your “honour” is at stake ! girls, beware ! there are perverts out there ! i believe the solar system goes around a little tiny rock which i keep in my pants, and my mind went to mush when i was 10 years out and was repeatedly bopped on my head with a cricket bat !

and the final appeal ! “BHAI LOG..blah blah blah“.. i should find a “bhai” to track down this braindead nincompoop and put the world out of his misery. and not just because that sentence is in caps. CAPITAL LETTERS ARE ANNOYING, DIDN’T YOU KNOW ?
jesus h. christ.

the best worst part is that people believe this blather. pictures have vanished from orkut.

is it just me, or do i see a trend of stupidity out there ?
lord save me.

or the demented moron who came up with this. if i ever find him.

a legend amongst biology students in bombay, i had him as a teacher for 2 straight years. his perfection, however, only matched by his eccentricities. his diagrams are still etched in my head, having to do them a 100 times.

showed his propensity for being a computer whiz in school.. and really followed it up. one of the reasons we AVMites have not completely fallen apart. luckily, we’re ending up close by in the states, it should hopefully be fun.

#93

owner of an unfortunate nickname (KC), even today. he had the brains, the ethic and the skill.. but managed to rub people up the wrong way. a great attitude though, and so, today, we have a functioning alumni cell.

#92

a big smile, and a great attitude: a real babe, and the reason we had a girl’s basketball team.. i’ve only ever called her ’shetty’. incidentally, one of the first girls i made friends with, or who actually chased me

I wish I was a hunter in search of different food
I wish I was the animal which fits into that mood
I wish I was a person with unlimited breath
I wish I was a heartbeat that never comes to rest
Komm zu mir
Komm zu mir…

i wish.

i wish life didn’t have to be about problems. that those problems didn’t have to be the most important things. i wish i knew some answers to the questions i have. i wish i didn’t really have so many questions.

i wish religion was not the biggest reason to kill. or the biggest reason that people are torn apart. i wish people didn’t let themselves be torn apart. that strength was something you could realise while you had it. i wish that the harsh realities of life didn’t make one so cynical. that cynicism didn’t start dominating every facet of life.

i wish people didn’t have to hide from themselves. or from everyone else. i wish that feelings helped people; rather than screwing with them. that hindsight would actually magically be foresight instead.

i wish none of this sounded like the crap it is.

i wish i could emote. that emotions didn’t have to be repressed by my protection mechanism. i wish i hadn’t screwed up the many things i have. that i could recognize my achievements when i should. that i could see past my screw-ups, and help others not make them. i wish i didn’t regret incidents in the past. and that i could really learn from them. i wish i didn’t run from my feelings, my problems, anything. that i could talk about what is really going on in my head.

i wish i knew whether others think their lives are screwed as well. whether people will ever be able to be totally honest anywhere. and whether that would be a good thing. i wish people would take help when its offered, and not dance the ego-dance alone, until things are beyond redemption. and that i can actually help them then.

i wish life didn’t have to be as alone as it turns out in the end. that you don’t have to realise that every battle, every challenge is eventually to be done alone. i wish some things never change. and that the realisation everything damn well changes, comes to us earlier.

i wish i didn’t miss my thatha sometimes. i wish i knew how i’m going to react when i see his place next. i wish i didn’t feel completely alone inspite of knowing so many people. and knowing so many people care about me.

i wish i knew where i’m going. what i want to do. what i want to be. or even, what i will be. i wish i wasn’t such a whiny little bastard. or i could stop feeling that way.

i wish i wasn’t so screwed up. or that everything else wasn’t.
i wish.

i really wish.

Komm zu mir
Komm zu mir
I wish I was a stranger who understands the sky
I wish I was a starship in silence flying by
I was I was a princess with armies at her hand
I wish I was a ruler who’d make them understand
