Do Not Disturb..

Lately, I was harassed by more than 10 unnecessary push messages being sent daily, having download links for ringtones, wallpapers, contests and everything under the sun!! My mistake!! I had activated push messages service by mistake. So I rectified it by disabling the service and thus saving myself from this torture.

But that’s not all.. There are still lot of messages being sent by Hutch and yeah.. how can I forget those unwanted automated promotional calls. Clever people!! The call is from different number each time. The worst part is that if you disconnect any call from some numbers", you keep getting a call from the same number once in 6 hours till u receive it. Imagine, on a holiday, you are sleeping peacefully and you get a call. Thinking that it’s from someone you know, happily you grab your cell and what you get to listen is “Kabhie kabhie mere dil mein khayal aata hai...... Is gaane ko apni caller tune set karne liye keval 20 rupaye prati mahina.... bla.. bla....” Sooooooo annoying!!!

Tired of all this I decided to call Hutch Customer Care. Fortunately, I didn’t had to wait for hours to talk to a customer care executive (unlike last time, well, it was around an year back, I had to wait for 1 hour and I stopped calling to 111 after that). The solution given was either to register here or to send DND to 111. Hutch claims to stop sending promotional SMSes and they won’t disturb with their automated calls either. A blessing indeed!! Without wasting a minute, at 5:02pm I sent DND to 111.

5:03pm (from 111) -> We respect your privacy. Please give us 72 hours to include your number on our Do Not Disturb list. Thank you.

5:04pm (from 6789) -> Hi!! You just spoke to Babu Kumar. We’d like to know if you were satisfied with the experience. Reply Toll Free with Yes or No.

And I thought that they won’t DISTURB!!Huh!! Anyway, replied with a Yes because Mr Babu Kumar helped me out by telling about DND te fer main socheya ki chalo hun taan theek hai, relaxo, hun nhi khange dimag.. isle me = very very happy.. with two capital V’s and a capital H.

5:06pm (from 6789) -> Thank you for your feedback. We would like to know more about the experience. Would you like to respond to a few questions? Reply Toll Free with Yes or No.

Oye!! hudd ho gyi!! I am telling not to disturb te eh ne ki fir msg te msg bheji jande ne. Chalo koi na, I sent NO to 6789 and there popped a message again:

Thank you for your feedback. If there is more you’d like to share please SMS your comments Toll Free to 6790.

Gosh!! Limit hundi hai kisi gal di!! Hutch.. Pleaseeeeeee.. DO NOT DISTURB!!

Let’s see how much you respect customer privacy. Will update after “72” hours..

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows rocks..

This is my first review and I am not a professional as far as the reviews are concerned. So, the readers (though very few) please bear with me.

I took the book on the day it was released, much awaited “21st July” and finished reading it by 22nd July, 8am. J.K.Rowling has definitely met reader’s expectations with her seventh and the last book “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”. It is awesome. Cool plot. Deep storyline. Harry has been fantastic and mind blowing, as always. Ron and Hermione showed their bravery and it matches to that of Harry. So many characters died, disappointing many fans. But as Dumbledore would have said “It was all for the greater good”. There are many twists and surprises many which you couldn’t have imagined. The final duel between Voldemort and Harry was short. But it is ok. There are some 50 pages in between where Harry doesn’t know what to do and you might feel little bored and frustrated just like Ron.

All this time we had been thinking that the Harry Potter series is about Harry. Well, is it? Not exactly. I feel it wasn’t Harry’s game, it was Dumbledore’s game. Right from the beginning till the end, he was the wizard knowing everything, knowing all the details. He knew when exactly what was going to happen. It seems that JKR has written the series on Dumbledore’s command. He is the real narrator of the series.

As expected by many of us, Severus Snape turned out to be on Harry’s side. The Prince’s Tale is the best chapter in the whole book. An eye opener, for those who doubted Snape, and thus Dumbledore. It almost made me cry. Snape had been figured as a negative character in the series and here we come to know the real Snape, who loved Lily more than anything. His love for her was so great that he was ready to sacrifice his life for James’ son. The same James whom he hated a lot, but his love for Lily was much more than his hatred for James . The most touching lines were on page 553 when Nigellus calls Hermoine as Mudblood and snape tells not to use this word. The same Snape ,who was shown hating so-called Mudbloods in the other books of the series.

I think the Half Blood Prince is a true masterpiece, and the Deathly Hallows comes close to it. I would give the book 8/10

Spoilers: (Read at your own risk)
I have a few doubts and all the Potter fans are welcomed to clear these .
1.Hermione said that she obliviated her parents(page 84) and then when they are in the muggle restaurant with the Death Eaters(Page 139) she says that she only knows the theory and has never practiced it.
2. Ron suddenly speaks parseltongue and opens the chamber. (Page 501)

Weird..

"If You Don't Get What You Want, It's Because There Is Something Good To Come."



Sometimes when we don't get "something" that we really want but we can never have, while waiting for "something good" we hope that this "something good" is that "something" that we wanted but could never have. Weird na!!
