My perfect lover

This is a very emotional moment for me. I have been tagged for the first ever since this blog was born. *Sniff sniff* Very few of my friends blog and none of my blogger friends have ever tagged me. I always hoped that somebody would tag me, sometimes even thinking of just tagging myself but never got around to it.

I have been tagged by Koushik, author of My Days in Mumbai blog. The tag goes by the name of "Who can be my Lover?"... basically you try to articulate the qualities of your perfect lover.

Rules of the game are:

  1. The tagged victim has to come up with 8 different points of their perfect lover
  2. You have to mention the sex of the target.
  3. Tag 8 victims to join this game and leave a comment on their comments saying they've been tagged.
  4. If tagged the 2nd time, there's no need to post again.

My new mobile number

Submitted by varun on Tue, 28/02/2006 - 12:11pm.

Hi people. I have acquired a local mobile number.

~~~~~~ Edit (4:33 PM IST on 28th Feb 2006) ~~~~~~

Just subtract 69454496 from my old number and voila! you have my new number. Idea patented by JhQuest.

In case you are wondering why I am doing this you should read the comments to this post. You actually need not read the rest of the post. I am not editing it out just because whenever I am confident of having found the 'right' solution and need to have my confidence shaken I will come and read this post. Sniff.

I asked you to stop reading, didn't I?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ignore the hyphens. I had to put them due to the way browsers render extra spaces in XHTML.

Old mobile number: [ 9--8--a----b----c--d---e--f--g--h ]

New mobile number: [ 9--8--b--(0.5g)-7-(2c)-7--d--g--7 ]

where (2c) is 2 times c and 0.5g is half of g.

Please update my mobile number in your phonebook. Also drop me an SMS so I can be sure you have got it. I was thinking of SMSing all the people in my phonebook but in Delhi SMS rates of all providers and plans is quite high. In fact mobile rates in general are higher compared to Ahmedabad, Pune and Mumbai :-(

I am so happy that I simply had to blog about this.

My life got a little more interesting today. There is some good news I want to share but I will refrain from doing so right now. Formal confirmation is yet to come through so I am holding off the announcement till that happens. OK, some of you know what it is about. But please don't reveal what it is.

The day was spent reading up on Java and security. Found this freely available nice eBook called Securing Java on the Net.

Post without an interesting title

Happy New 2006!

Had a ball of a time on New Year's partying with friends and friends of friends at Taj's Insomnia in Mumbai. Danced a lot, ate a lot, drank a little and remained awake till wee hours of the morning. Then caught a train back to Pune early morning on Sunday and slept for around 18 hours straight.
