chain mail

i'd forgotten about having written this a couple of years back

Basha is, by the way, the beloved net centre guy in college.
------------------------------------------------------------

dearest friends,

Please take a minute out of your busy work schedules
and read the small story below.

it is a true life story.

Basha is a carefree young man, loved for his
enthusiasm and his endearing one liners. With his
striking good looks and personal charm he was loved by
all who knew him. A peace abiding man, he worked as a
Computer Administrator in a Law College. In his spare
time he wrote short stories for children and played
the flute (baasuri).

....does all this sound familiar? it gets worse, dear
friends... please read on...

On one weekday - not too long back - Basha woke up and
after his customary prayers and ablutions, reported to
his work place at nine o clock, sharp, as has always
been his practice. On his way be helped an old lady
carry a load of sticks but still made it on time to
his work place.

At about 10:30 am Basha was sitting at his desk.
Listening to his favourite songs from Chiru's new
movie (Vastala Pumpistanu Rundi) he was contemplating
his new plaster of paris model of subhas chandra bose.
(Basha is also a talented sculptor, who makes special
models of freedom fighters). All of a sudden he heard
loud cries of "A/C ON NAHI KAR SAKTA KYA
B**NCH**TH?!!" and "SAALA INTERNET KO GAAND MEIN GHUSA
LO!!"

Before the startled young man had a chance to even
blink his eyes (like limpid pools they were) a pair of
hooligans had jumped at him and proceeded to smash a
computer monitor on his unsuspecting face and
attempted to feed him a mouse pad. To add injury to
(injury) they dropped a 1000 pound Xerox workstation
on his face.

Basha, miraculously, survived the assault. However,
even his loving wife has severe problems looking at
his once handsome face and has run off to her parents
house in Mahaboobnagar.

Basha requires extensive plastic surgery in order to
restore him to even a shadow of the man he was.

Have a heart... do the right thing... send this to all
your friends... for every mail send Microsoft will pay
an amount of $.37 to THE BASHA FACE FUND.

thanking you for your time, dear friends,

siddharth.
