Happy April Fools Day #2009

Janta,

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:

I have quit my job!

Over the past year friends and family have been asking me what am I doing? And I always managed to escape with some excuse. Often telling things that I was doing years back. However the fact remains that I worked in a very secretive environment.

Last year I was approached by a rather unusual startup. What they did is secondary; but the point it was that none of us were ever allowed to reveal about our work, our team members or any other details. Yeah creepy, but it was the nature of business that required us to do so.

When I first heard the idea I said it to them “This wont work”! But the work they had already done and the money promised was too much to resist. It was challenging. And I sure did live up to the task. Being one of the top performers in the 17 member team; I find myself to be a changed person now. Annkur@2007 was way too different than Annkur@today! And this change prompted me to QUIT without spending even a day more working for those SICK B*&%&^*!

So what is this organization about?

How people say things over the WWW (Part 1)

  • Shall I buy a MacBook Air? = U know मेरे पास बहुत पैसा है / I am very rich!
  • Girl: You know I had a fantastic outing, night out with friends, movie and this this this person was there. = Loser, you asked me out and I went with them 😛 (Jealous?)
  • I am so excited I am going to meet my cousins. Its been 10 years since they shifted to US. = [I am going on a foreign trip]
  • What is the best tool to do xyz … = Yeah go ahead and tell me what you use; I will prove m smarter than you!
  • Scrap: Not seen you since long? Where have you been? = When the hell are you returning my BOOK!

Keeping it short as per feedback received; will post Part II soon (Suggestions Welcome)

There is loads that I want to write and share; but I would be going slow henceforth. Also apologies for making some posts private, they shouldn’t have been here in the first place (maybe)…

Here are some of my personal favourites:

Additionally you can see the Humour and Picture tags!

Shopping with Mom

After ages I went shopping with my Mom. Was real fun and some new experiences:

  • Sales girls treat you as kid
  • You are 2x more confused on what to buy
  • The importance of Price Tag goes up by 2x
  • If you are lucky you get some cool things (Read: Expensive) – aka Affordability increases by 4x (you must know how to get them though!)
  • You cannot really stare at those revealing posters at the SpyKar outlet 😛
  • Every fourth line you speak is edited before words come out of your mouth – Yes the beepsssss – Though I slipped a couple of times 😛

And lastly you end up buying some really good stuff…
