The evolution of Orkut fransheep requests

2 comments
Friendship requests on Orkut keep getting increasingly interesting:
Hi!!!!!!! I Was going through your profile, found it interesting, so am writing to u..... As a normal routine, I know u must be tired of people saying,
"hiii there,
u r cute,
u r pretty,
i like ur smile,
i like ur eyes....... and stuff"......and i can imagine how irritating it can be when someone out of know where jumps up and says....... "DO u wanna be my friend, or can i be ur friend" and u feel like, Man DO i KNow u ..........

Hence i would definately not do the same, neither would i ask u to be my friend... All i shall say is, "Why dont we start a conversation and let friendship develop on its on.........."

What Wikipedia think of the BCCI

0 comments
The BCCI's profile on Wikipedia throws up some interesting insights into their cricket editors' minds.



Interestingly, it seems the image belongs to NDTV — and I have a few reasons to think that way — but the Wikipedia page says the image was taken off BCCI.tv.

Reporting

3 comments
Often during a major cricket event, you read reports such as this of bookies being busted.

Invariably, the report would describe the scene of action:
A cash of Rs two lakh, a TV set, a dish antenna, recorder connected to a laptop, calculators and mobile phones were recovered from the flat, they said.
It reads as if the police had just unearthed two tonnes of RDX from a terrorist's lair.

But the really sad part is this:
The accused booked under Bombay Prevention of Gambling Act, were later released on bail.
So much for doing what you thought fit with your own money.
