Oops! Wrong number

Lets clear up some stuff before the weekend sets in.

For those who know my real name (not much of a mystery if you look at the right places), this person is NOT me. My dad wanted to "send" me to IIT to "follow in his footsteps" unfortunately for him (fortunately for me) he didn’t succeed. The "other" dude did manage to get in. Hope my dad is happy that at least my namesake in his alma mater.

This has fooled great minds (hi Alpha, Star, Pompy, Kay, and others) already so don’t google my name, you won’t find much. Believe it or not, I have met real people who think I am that other guy…small world and all. Guess somewhere out there, he is writing a similar post.

People, if you are looking for Linkin Park – the band, my weekly clutter aka Linking Park is not what you expected when you landed here. Sorry.

Tinda making your life difficult again??? *sheepish smiles* See, people DO google your name! You The Famous The Patrix :D while googling along with the city name *koff koff* i did land on some unif pictures where you were taking a trophy (or something on the lines) :D
and while we are on the picture subject – small world indeed. send a pic to a common friend, and be sure the others will see it too (psst your cue to Yogu Feel Guilty X( )

Pompy – Guess I have to do some arm-twisting now…but I rather ask just once :) so you better send it now.

He’s your namesake and my birthdaysake (coinage). I am not taking to him – man, look at his hobbies and his goal in life. Seems like a shallow, sad guy. Ugh!

Sampada – Seems like the name didn’t help him much..doesn’t take much to make him happy, I guess. But to each his own, I guess.

Yess! *sheepish grin* Tinda Bhai! You know this story calls for a blog too…but I don’t know if many would be interested..they would have been, a long time ago, when ‘Tinda’ was the rage in Blogdom.
What a story..You wont believe how Star and I burst into peels of laughter everywhere thinking of this. Once I almost choked in the water fountain. Gattu re, If you had really turned out to be this guy..tauba tauba..I would have forced you to do the Ogre belly dance..
hehehe…cakcakcak..haha.*still uncontrollable*
alpha
Pompy, how come we aren’t complaining about Star in the same line….photo..common friend..koff koff

hey Alpha, what I would find funny would be if our dear friend tinda slipped on the peels of laughter and fell !
*wicked grin*

That post made me cringe, wince, feel like rolling into a tight ball, settling down in the deepest corner of a dark, abandoned underground dungeon and shutting myself out till you forget that I made that same mishtaike. Awwwww!!!
Passerby
Tinda? How come? Do Tindas have long..er..noses? AFAIK, no. Patrix, some explanation due here. If you have any takleef in making it public, please feel free to mail me the story. ;)

Alpha, Star wouldn’t do that to me. Tis all about trust you see my dear girl.
(Ye dosti hum nahi torenge…torenge dum agar…Star ka saath na chorenge…. playing in the background. Star and Pompy riding a rickety mopet)
Alphu! DID SHE NOW? she is deadmeat. (*ping* halo disappears)
http://pompy.rediffblogs.com pompy
and…Tinda was awesome. do a post on him Alpha. has loads of potential. he made life look so beautiful and pleasant specially since each of Patrix’s post made me run to the nearest dictionary.
while we are at it, thanks for my newfound vocab Patrix :D

who’s this other tinda being talked abt? something to do with that spoof on indiebloggies guy? or was that a banana :p
You actually had to mention that your posts titled “linkin park” arent abt the band.. u mean someone actually complained or wat?!
alpha
Fairy: Told you, dope is bad!
Pompy: the fact that she showed you our pics…grrr…the background music can still go on clashing with this one- *dost dost na raha*
http://patrix.typepad.com Patrix
Alpha – that sure was your finest royal popat..hehehe. I still remember you trying to give some lameass excuse for all that tinda-gattu names :)
Pompy – oooooooh! that was Star ki bachhi, kya…now just let me post Star’s full-blown up picture with her shedding sweater…and Pompy, your comments sound as if I am dying or have been dead for a while.
Passerby – hehehe..usually you are quite perceptive but how could you think I was *that* guy..tsk tsk. Insult to my sensibilities. But never mind, will spill out the tinda story in a post sometime this week.
Twilight – Nope. No complains. I was getting 40-50 daily hits from that search phrase so I thought I might just direct those poor souls to the right place.

Patrix sincere appologies. but the Tinda (as in the chap who did go to IIT and “the guy you are not”) i assumed was no longer a part of “our” lives…hence the reference in the past tense.
am certain abhi toh aap jawaan hain… and all that. so how dare i indeed.
now Star’s full-blown pic please :)
http://wittsend.rediffblogs.com wandy
Aha!! the story is out and doing rounds…:-)
I caught it somewhere else so thought would check urs out to see if there were any clues to why this story hit the headlines now…
hope u are doing fine.
take care!!

Pompy – Ah-ha! That Tinda is relieved to have escaped everyonez scrutiny….and jawan hoon? I didn’t join the army..hehehe..*ouch* ok ok…no more PJs.
Star’s pic? hmmmm…hum aise yaar-gaddaari nahee karte :) plus the thought of her clobbering me to death is pretty scary.
Wandy – Don’t tell me you saw it somewhere else apart from Alpha’s blog…that would be scary.
