winter post

Enough of my croonings about no-net show. I'm kind of assured that whatever education I have received till date has not gone waste, completely.
So, in between cursing my service provider and tossing coin to decide whether to go to a cyber cafe or not, I decided to check whether the connections in modem were fine or not. Obviously the connections were fine. I'm not that dumb that it will strike after 3 damn weeks. But what went wrong was the copper oxides deposits which were blocking the contact between the phone line and the modem port. A few rubbings with a brush , insertion of the wire and there glows the link in the modem !

Inbox full of 'How will be 2009 for you? Dial 12345 @ Rs 9/min to know' messages tells you that new year is round the corner. New year means getting a year older, one more semester less for college to end.
While flipping through the pages of a magazine , I came across this astrology section , which says 'Know what 2009 has in store for you'. Its no wonder that in times of recession temples are doing better business than before. So here's what is in store for me:

1)Get married this year because your spouse will bring you loads of good luck and happiness-
Anyone , with similar predictions?

2)Students will have a bad time as they might have to discontinue their studies-
I mean why? I do pay my college fees, don't see chances of expulsion, will not be entering Miss India contest or Roadies or Indian Idol.
Ah well, if I may comply with the first option , get married in a family which doesn't allow girls to study after marriage like in those daily soaps, then its quite possible. Duh, I should stop uttering crap.

3)Your friends of foreign origin will do you good in times of need-
I do have friends in foreign lands but of Indian origin. So extending the definition of foreign origin , should I expect the likes of ET or Jadoo to help me out?
2009 seems to an exciting year !
