Procrastination is good at times.. technically.

Procrastination is an evil... they say. We delay tasks which needs to be done now, thinking "aahh.. will do later, i am having lots of time", where from one aspect this habit can cause serious implications but again this habit can be a boon too... how? Read on...


Most of us use Skype for daily communications mostly in office scenario and my organization is no different. But of late, theres these mass virus on skype pretending to be sent from your skype contact with text like:
Your Funny pic.. Hohoho
check out... bitly.com/12345
And once you click this malware, it silently installs nasty programs like keyloggers which records your keystrokes etc.


During the initial days of the virus even I received alerts like this but I procrastinated thinking that "aahhh... interesting pic, will check later, anyway it will be in my chat history", but eventually forgot to check the link and voila!! I was not affected by the virus!! Yeah!


So  dear all... Technically procrastination is good.. :P
but this doesnot include the emails... you still need to respond to emails and urgent chats on time...


To all who are affected by this virus... CHANGE your skype password first... then search google for a solution., (sorry even I am not having a solution right now, but will provide as soon I come across one...)


Guys, another thing.. we have viruses related to almost everything Microsoft... Windows OS, Win Mobile OS and now Skype??? weird..


Have a great weekend! Happy skype'ing.

New Vehicle in mind? Get your proofs right, first!

Every person's dream... A beautiful house, smiley relations, speedy vehicle/s [and lot of money... ohh! did i miss it :)]. Jokes apart, Its been a couple of months and my wish of purchasing a vehicle is still "Under Construction".
Reason? The government's undying thirst of valid proofs of my identity. And astonishingly every showroom has its own set of unique documents apart from the general ones.


So far for purchasing a two wheeler an outstation resident needs the following:
  • Registered and Notarized Rent Agreement (one with tenant's pics and thumb impression)
  • Police Verification Form (submitted at the time of renting)
  • Electricity Bill (with Owner's name)
  • Government Affidavit for Vehicle passing.
  • PAN Card
  • Driving License
  • Passport (if you have, its good)
  • Employment confirmation from the organization I work for.
  • Voter ID.
  • 5-6 month's statement of the salary account... huhh..
Apart from Registered Rent Agreement and Police Verification Form, rest I have arranged.
Reason for the missing above, My Owner Has Lost The Papers... woww, and now seems like he is reluctant to shell out 3000 bucks getting the registered agreement. I am left with just a photocopy of Agreement papers (Non notarized and registered).
Whatever, I will be posting a review of my vehicle, that too sooon...
So, whats the status in your city on the same? Hows the situation in the city (apart from your native) where you have bought a vehicle?

One quick question though, have I (or hundreds like me) wished something wrong?
May be I should just thank Mr. Ajmal Kasab for all these...

GoodDay!
