I get all kind of emails, some talking about the atrocities
of some unknown government in an unknown land, a girl saying that we are
compatible (how shaadi.com...how?) and should meet up, other ladies simply flaunting
the assets they paid for and well some are downright...ummm stupid? And no! The
stupid kinds are not my phone/ credit card / yada yada yada bills ( they are
important..well maybe)
The stupid kinds, OK I will find a new word for it before
the end of this post, are those which say that be careful before you read. Curiosity
kills the cat and I open the email. It contains a picture. And then I regret
opening the email. It has the power to change my world for good or worse.
The picture is of some god, saint or god knows what. It is
supposed to get me good luck, if I share it with say 10 people. But hey, if you
want more luck you can share it with 20 people, 30 people if you want even more
luck and guess if I share it with a 10000000 I will be Bill Gates! The world is
a good place again.
And I know a lot of us get these emails and we know there is
a catch. If you do not send it then the whatever in the picture gets angry (oh
you don’t want these things angry do you?) The wheels turn anti clockwise and
you end up getting bad luck (cue...Goosebumps!). Some of the emails even give examples
of people who pissed them off, trust me; some of the victims get so unlucky
that they aren't even unlucky anymore.
So here we stand at a crossroad wondering which road we want
to take and then I see a light bulb slowly flickering to life. What if, I start
one of these? With a picture of my ahem ahem...and send it around? You never
know who might end up getting lucky you know (I hope it’s me!)
But then wouldn't forwarding the email I get just do? Why
take all the efforts? That’s it then! let’s just forward these emails and hope
you get luckier, richer than the richest and hope these emails don’t reach the
already rich and they get richer than what we end up at.
Have a nice weekend guys and gals!
PS: Yes I couldn't find a word for the stupid emails, any suggestions
