Twitter down

Files under Internet, tech | 6 Comments

Recently i have been hanging a lot on twitter.Its a great platform for _not_so_active bloggers like me. And guess what its down! Its making me bit impatient now but in a way also good that my exams have started,keeping me away from unnecessary browsing.

twitter down

Twitter have been down or showing marks of going down for a few days now. I just wish it comes back with a bang again and NO downtime.

Twitter bot is also off-line from a day now. Waiting !

EDIT: After visiting iGrace’s site, found a new cool site istwitterdown to check if twitter is down or not.

Read article this by Jacob priya grace(i hope its her correct name) to find out what she discovered yesterday :D .Its worth visiting.

Freebies

Files under tech | 3 Comments

Mathew McConaughey has been sent a year’s supply of deodorants by AXE. The american company AXE sent The actor their new pocket-siezed body spray to last him a year,after he revealed he “never uses deodorants”

A letter from company read

We know that you already have a stunning girl Camila Alves.But in a survey we recently conducted, nearly nice out of ten girls (89 per cent) told us that they would turn down a guy because he smelled bad no matter how inshape or successful he is. We read that you ‘never use deodorants’ and we sure want you to keep Camila around,so we have enclosed a one year supply of new AXE Bullet,the first pocket-sized deodoran body spray for guys

Well what the heck if he never use deodorant let him alone. Agreed its their(AXE company) marketing stunt, and they successfully managed to catch attention enough that my brother is out to get his new AXE Bullet pocket edition. Ironically the funda of life is exactly opposite. Will they ever give such freebies to person,no matter how successful he is,nope.JUst for that they are here to do business

Discussing this matter with my brother,who is just 14yrs old, i asked him what IF i declare that i don’t use deodorants. what will be the effects-sideeffects? The result of group discussion was out in first few seconds itself by his reaction which goes:

erm…didi don’t try that ever, you’ll stink to death,of course our death.

That makes it clear, i won’t be getting any freebies which i yearn for now :P

Types of Gals n Guys

Files under tech | 5 Comments

We usually get a chance to talk with new people and wonder which type/category they fall in. This question really haunts guys specially. Why? well i am not a guy yo answer that.

So here is how guys categorize gals.

  1. Miranda gals: They are the gals with balance. No over exposure, yet maintain the spice. Guys like these types more. Ask why? cause they like to struggle for everything. Can’t take it when gals simply go for them, not letting them to patoafy them.
  2. Pepsi Gals: They always let guys say yeh dil mange more. erm..i hope you get that.
  3. Thumbs up Gals: These gals are with perfect figure/physic but not _that_ good looking.Guys want them as Girlfriend but not as wife as these usually have _not_so_good history.

Alright now you have graduated in types of Gals.Now how do gals graduate in guys? Sadly guys dont come in variety so there is no good option for gals and have to satisfy/adjust just with one.

And that is

Also i will be installing few more games like Worms,Portal and Midtown Madness 2 which were

sent to me by my dear friend .I really want to thank him for he sent me few( around 23GB stuff) along with those games.Ah i will be updating on my gaming mania soon.

Meanwhile please let me know which all games you guys/gals play,though i doubt any replies from later ones.

Also if you want to play online,if any of these games can be played i mean buzz me on yahoo

messenger or tweet me.

Oh btw my vivas were awesome.Hope to catch you guys soon bbye for now. Me off for gaming.
