Happy April Fools Day

Appreciate all the support, encouragement and unexpressed words that you gave me in the last week. Just one person came close to guessing that its a joke (yes K.D).

So here it is – I have quit no job – Since I never had any. The whole spy thingee was a prank and completely a creation of my imagination. The immediate TG was really small but it seems to have spread wild over Twitter. Thanks to my crime partner @ankita_gaba

Here is the 2009 Annkur April Fool Prank in pictures:

Mixed reactions … Vivekk, Mayank .. thx

ROFL.. Comment on my blog

Sensonize’s DM to ankita_gaba about some person (Now I have become a scale to measure people huh)

Sensonize’s Chat with Crime Partner Ankita lol

Really appreciate the kind gesture and encouragement by some of my Twitter friends. I wanted to tell them its a prank and not to take it seriously. It was meant for a small audience and not the whole twitter world. But I am really touched by the support from a few of you …

Also the ones who un-followed me on twitter following the post … You can get back. Don’t be scared

Also this prank was replicated on ManagementParadise (after Kartik himself was puzzled for a moment, see his reaction above) as their official April Fools Day joke. So this one actually reached over 100000 people.

Btw Guyz (and Gals) – do subscribe to my Rss Feeds. I do have some really cool things apart from this prank on this blog

1. Old is gold ‘Disappearing Desktop’: This ones is tried and tested, though many know abou this one, its still good for many. Here is how we go about it; minimize all windows on the desktop and ht ‘Print Screen – PrtScn’. Now save this desktop image (maybe after pasting it in paint) and set it as the desktop background. Now hide all desktop icons (put them in some folder) and watch the unsuspecting user trying to click non existent icons. A good variation is to leave open a Notepad file on the right end of the desktop before taking the screenshot. This will make the person go crazy trying to close a non existent notepad.

2. Extra mouse: So planning to be a little naughty @ your office? You can really make life hell for your co-workers.  Just plug a second USB mouse to your co-workers system and pull it at your end. Now ocassionally control his mouse (probably when he is not doing something / or even when he is doing something) and launch random applications. Would be really fun seeing him figure out how the mouse is behaving on its own…

3. Mouse Pointer: Go to Control Panel> Mouse Settings> Change the default pointer to HourGlass. The system would always appear busy!

4. Change Phone No: So your co-worker / Friend left his phone unattanded? How about changing the phone no of his/her spouse with someone elses number, may be some other co-worker of the other sex or probably his/her’s Ex –
