Heart-touching..

"Sing me no songs of daylight,
For the sun is the enemy of lovers
Sing instead of shadows and darkness,
And memories of midnight"

GOOD SATURDAY

If you are a frequent user of social networking sites then last afternoon has surely made you confused. You have got scraps from many of your friends saying the word "bom sabado". Yes, its not only you, this happened with thousands of  orkut users, and the situation gets awful when people find their own scrap saying "bom sabado" on their orkut friends' scrapbook!
What does the phrase "bom sabado" mean? Well, in Portuguese, this means "good saturday". But why everyone is posting this and most importantly how scraps are posting from one's account without his/her knowledge? I experienced the problem too. Moreover some new communities were added in my community list. Then Google enlightened me that "bom sabado" is a worm that attacked Orkut. and the virus infected profiles are automatically posting virus scraps on to the other’s scrapbooks and adding communities. This is not the 1st time when orkut got affected by a major XSS (cross-site scripting) attack, same virus attacked orkut in last February as well. Even the most happening social site twitter got affected by XSS attack last week.
What should be the next step for infected account holders? Experts advise to delete these scraps and communities and then to change the password for orkut. Users are also advised not to open Orkut account until the problem solved.
Well, apart from all these tech-talk we have to admit one thing, the name "bom sabado" suits the worm, it really made our Saturday funny and awfully spicy ;-)

Bored of being bored

Four months passed after my semester exams...four long months of idle life! Well people busy with their work or studies will find it as a rare and beautiful phase of life, but trust me it drives you crazy when you have to sit at home for such a long time with nothing meaningful to do. Moreover many of my friends have got their joining and the rest are busy to find jobs. So meetings and freaking outs are scheduled only on weekends :-(.. But what about the rest of the days? I have tried many things for fun and entertainment and to keep myself busy.... books, movies, TV, yoga, computer-games, chitchatting, day dreaming, shopping, roaming around the city and many more but one cannot have much fun all alone :-( and honestly now I have become tired and bored of doing all this. Books seem to need more patience, TV,chatting have become boring and shopping have become meaningless( yeah yeah its true..even I cannot believe it :P ) and movies? Well then I should mention that no good movies(bollywood / tollywood) are releasing for days.(yes I have seen We are family and Byomkesh , but still feeling the crisis). One of my friend says, I should utilize this time to rediscover myself but I am actually becoming confused about myself!! Things which used to be my passion or hobbies are now boring to me. The main thing is that when pass time becomes a regular job, it looses its charm and the same thing happens with me. There is a limit of having holidays yaar!!
It doesn't mean that I am a workaholic or serious type of person but now I really want to start my job. I know job-life is gonna be hectic and I might not experience this kind of extended holidays again but still I would rather prefer a busy life than a nothing-to-do-wholeday type one..So just keeping my fingers crossed and waiting for my joining letter.
