			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We keep hearing rumours every now and then; sometimes they scare the hell out of you. In 25 years of my life, I myself have encountered few rumours which scared me to the hell. </p>
<p>Here are the biggest rumours I have heard till date.</p>
<h3>Steal Body (1993) </h3>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/image.png" width="520" height="349" />This happened when I was in 2<sup>nd</sup> Standard, according to the rumours Steal Body was a RoboCop like Man who was made of steel (or wore a steel cover), and he was capable of jumping 100ft above the ground, grab a dozen of people and many more features which a human brain can imagine. </p>
<p>But, it was a rumour created by Army men to keep people locked down in their homes at night so that they can perform their daily operations to capture the militants. This was early 1990s and terrors was at its peak. And you know what? I got shot in the foot.</p>
<p>Just Kidding <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" /></p>
<h3>Mrig attacking Children (1997)</h3>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/image2.png" width="520" height="390" />When I lived in Chamba, there again was a rumour about a Narnia (the movie) like Lion or Tiger (No one actually knew about what it was) which turn itself into anything, be it stone, plant or a cute little girl and could attack anyone and eat them. </p>
<p>But the actual story was, there was a tiger (which is called Mrig in local language of Chamba) and it attacked domestic animals to eat them. Parents used this to scare their children to stop them playing for long and concentrate on their studies. Parents are so mean sometimes. </p>
<h3>Monkey Man (2001)</h3>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/image3.png" width="410" height="360" /></p>
<p>This was when I was in Delhi; there was a rumour that a Man (which looked like a monkey) or a Monkey (which looked like a man) used to attack people in Chandni Chowk area. And the best part was that people actually claimed to see that thing in real. Nothing came out and it was turn into a Rumour, which become a plot for a movie called Delhi 6 (Staring Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor) </p>
<h3>Man giving Birth to a baby (2008)</h3>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/image4.png" width="468" height="490" /></p>
<p>When I heard it for the first time, I imaged myself giving birth to a baby and I swear to the holy sprits, it was THE painful thing I have ever imagined. I asked to GOD, why are you changing your plans? </p>
<p>Anyways, I later read that he/she was a girl and had paid the doctors to make her a boy, but, I guess no one can mess up with God’s machinery and thus, she/he Got pregnant leading to the rumours that a Guy got pregnant. Thank you God…Thank you for making me a Man. </p>
<h3>People Turing into Stone (2012) </h3>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/image5.png" width="520" height="390" />This was the most recent one, I think that was 2012 effect, people were spreading this rumour that the world will end in 2012 since 2010. Everyone knew it was a rumour, but few people of Lucknow play this prank on 4<sup>Th</sup> January that the person who will sleep will turn into stones. And it was all over Lucknow till 4 AM. People were getting calls from their relatives about that. </p>
<p>Everyone was scared while I was thinking, Wow, what a viral effect. It was spread all over Lucknow in just few hours and that too via phone. I wish I could do viral effect to one of my products. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I am here after <strike>centuries </strike>months to writer another piece of article on my personal blog. I am too busy, is the reason for not updating my blog. </p>
<p>Not that I am building a Time machine or working with NASA on a space mission or something, but I am busy doing nothing, away from the internet world, actually the real world also.</p>
<p>I am in Assam, a North Eastern state of India. and to be more specific ( if you want to keep a tab on my from Google Earth) I am in <em>Gerukhamukh, </em>which is 460KMs away from Guwahati (a big city of Assam).</p>
<p>After a full week of sitting at Home ( <em>now why I call Home here is another Big story and you have to read my <a href="http://asifahmed.net/about/" target="_blank">about page</a> for that</em>), Sunday was the day we decided to visit the local Tea factory. </p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PB200566.jpg" width="520" height="390" />This article is not about How to make tea, but it’s about How tea leaves are prepared in the Factory. </p>
<p>On my way from Guwahati to <em>Gherukhamukh</em> which is about 460KMs, I saw many Tea Gardens, and Assam is the largest producer of Tea. </p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PB200576.jpg" width="520" height="370" />So the Tea leaves make their way to the factory by local worker who are paid Rs3 for plucking 1KG of tea leaves from Tea Garden. </p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PB200545.jpg" width="520" height="390" />Now here in the Factory, the tea leaves are then crushed into small particles so that they can be processed further </p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PB200538.jpg" width="520" height="390" />The tea is then kept on the floor for sometime so that the color turns Red from Green.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PB200554.jpg" width="520" height="427" />It is then taken further for making it even more fine, and then Big Machines separate them according to their sizes, </p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PB200522.jpg" width="520" height="260" />Which again goes to different big machines where it is separated according to the quality of the tea.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PB200536.jpg" width="520" height="390" />Then they are Filled in the Big Bags which are then bought by Different Companies who sell it with their Labels. </p>
<p>&#160;<img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PB200557.jpg" width="520" height="336" />Not all of the part of tea leaves make it to the Shiny packets of tea, that is not a mountain of tea but tea dust.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PB200558.jpg" width="520" height="336" /></p>
<p>Which is then packed in these Bags and GOD knows what they do with them, I mean why do I care? </p>
<p>Can anyone count how many times I have used the word Tea in the article?</p>
<p>Ah! Why would you care?</p>
<p>Do you? <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smile.png" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many things which are not worth to blog, but her I set the rules here, so, I’ll be doing whatever I want. Ok, sorry, that’s kind of rude.</p>
<p>This is an incident from my AMU days, it was Sunday and I was in a restaurant in Center Point called <b>Quality</b>, I was with few friends there, suddenly we noticed a girl who entered the restaurant with a bag, she came by and sat next to our seat. The girl looked attractive and it’s obvious that we were staring at her right from the time she entered. </p>
<p>Ok, the next thing we noticed that she ordered a Cola and took her mobile phone out of her bag and played a song. (This was year 2005 where MP3 phones were things to show off). You might be interested to know about the song, it’s was a sad song in female voice from the movie <i>Ishq Vishq. </i>Yes, I have seen the movie and in this song, the female cast is sad and crying over some boyfriend girlfriend issue. But you know what, the girl started crying in the restaurant, it was like <i>oh I am so lonely, someone hold me, I need to be cuddled, my boyfriends was cheating on me, he dumped me, I am so Cinderella type. </i></p>
<p>We were four guys and we were confused, my friends said it’s all a Natak to gain some sympathy. I thought why not should I go ahead and sympathies, suddenly I saw a guy came and sat with her, I thought I am so damn slow I am still thinking and somebody actually did it. Later we found out that it was his boyfriend and we stopped taking interest in their conversation. We already knew what is going to happen, it’s all the usual stuff, girl crying and over reacting over some issue, but this time, it was a source of Sunday entertainment for us, we still laugh out loud talking about the incident. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone is a Geek these days, but if you if someone asks you<em> “How your Gadgets represent how you are?” </em></p>
<p>What would you say?</p>
<p>Well, if you ask me this question, I have a plenty of answers for you.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/image15.png" border="0" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p>I am a Big fan of productivity and I keep looking for things which makes my Job easier to do, I share them on my <a href="http://techtip.org" target="_blank">Technology Blog</a> also. Being a professional blogger, I spend most of my time Online and I make sure I am not leaving my offline world behind, This is the reason I bough a Dell Laptop which I can take out at local Café Shops to get my work done. I love being in the crowd without being the part of the crowd, I am not alone but I am also not disturbed by anyone while I am working on an Article. One more thing, it is as fast as it was on Day 1. I have customized my Laptop with different themes and software, different themes for different mood. It my Virtual Home and I love to take care of it.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/image16.png" border="0" alt="" width="520" height="309" /></p>
<p>Dell is a powerful machine, but I cannot take a laptop everywhere I go, I need to keep in touch with my online world, emails, Facebook, twitter etc.  This is the reason I have got n97 Mini from Nokia. yes Nokia powered by Symbian S60v5 OS. The geek world has totally ignored Symbian but it still is most widely used OS in India. Nokia is the other name of Mobile phones in India and I totally support it, I can check my emails and do all the social networking on this phone, the physical qwerty keypad makes me do things faster and the touch screen ads more to it. I have got all my favorite songs in it. I have personalized my phone with themes and I keep all the important files in it. My phone is a live saver during my traveling.</p>
<p>My Mobile phone works as my Music Player (8GB Inbuilt Memory), My Digital Camera (5MP with Flash), My Pen Drive and my Mini Computer ( Social Networking etc.)</p>
<p>I used to wear a Fast Track watch, but now I have made a habit of looking at the time in the mobile phone instead as I am looking into it most of the time.</p>
<p>Apart from my Mobile Phone and Laptop, I have got few other gadgets, or say Gadgets for doing almost everything, I spend plenty of hours looking at new gadgets and knowing about them. Every gadget I own is handled with care and you will never find a single scratch on them. This shows how I want my thing to be perfect.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/02062011.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="520" height="390" /></p>
<p>Well, almost perfect. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /></p>
<p><strong>Short Note</strong>:<em> If you want to Own a <a href="http://bitly.com/inspiron" target="_blank">Dell Inspiron Laptop</a>, there is a contest running on IndiBlogger till 11 July, 9PM IST.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" align="right" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/SNAGHTML6542fa8.png" width="212" height="178" />You don’t need to be Einstein to differentiate between a fake appointment letter and a real one. But I still have heard of may people and even my friends falling for these Spam email which send you appointment letters directly to your inbox, mostly they are filtered to a spam folder, but few of them manage to hit your Inbox. </p>
<p>Just to make you understand, how can you recognize a Spam email, I am attaching an email which I got from a spammer who is claiming to be from Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. </p>
<p>Looking at the present scene of the market, we know how tough it is to get a good job, and if you get a random email from a Big company like Maruti Suzuki, its to tough to believe. </p>
<p>&#160;&#160;&#160; <img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/image.png" width="541" height="1250" /></p>
<p>The email above was sent to thousands of email IDs by using a Mass email sender, <em>(Even the footer of the email says its been sent using the Internet Messaging Program).</em></p>
<p>Another thing to notice is that the email is sent using a <em>hotmail.co.uk</em> email, which can be created for FREE. </p>
<p>You should always check where is the email sent from and keep in mind that no company send appointment letters randomly.</p>
<p>So, if next time you get such email just Mark it as Spam.</p>
<p>There are many type of Spams happening on the internet, read about the other <a href="http://asifahmed.net/my-james-bond-brain/">Spam I wrote</a> about few years ago. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 10px 0px 0px 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" align="right" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/image1.png" width="264" height="149" />It was almost three years for her to be in this phase of life. She wanted to change the things around her. She wanted to be happy. She deserved it. The only way for her to be happy was, if she goes back to him. But it was late, or maybe too late. Things have changed a lot in these three years. He met another girl, the new girl who was just like her. They both were happy together. But she wanted him back so eagerly, desperately. Yes she wanted him back. She was ready to play the bad guy by splitting a happy couple. She was jealous that how can he be happy without her. It was only her who made him happy. She knew him since ages or maybe more than that, she took him for granted she thought he will never love any other girl and will wait for her entire life. But it happened. He found the new girl. He found the love of his life. The girl he could kiss in public, the girl who never disagrees with his any word. Yes this new girl loved him more than her.</p>
<p>But after every try to steal him away, she was told that she will never get him again. It was her who left him alone for something. He cried. Yes he is a guy but he cried. Guys don’t cry but some emotional fools do. He cried and waited for her for two years. He thought about ending his life many times but he just could not. He had a family to look after.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/image2.png" width="460" height="300" />She never had a family, she was all alone. The only thing she had was Him. But this city made him so blind that she could not see him beside her. She was surrounded by new people.</p>
<p>Now, as the times passed. And she has waked up from this three year old dream. She has no one beside her. Not even the guy who loved her the most. She now realizes his importance. But it’s too late she decides to end her life and writes a letter. </p>
<h3>A suicide letter</h3>
<p>She writes to him. Accepting what she has done and how guilty she feels. It says.</p>
<p>&quot;Hi</p>
<p>By the time you are reading this letter I’d be gone, Gone to the God. I had no reason to live this life so i thought to end it. But before I let the knife cut my veins; I want to tell you something. I love you, i know that it doesn’t matter to you anymore but i really love you. I am sorry for hurting you so much giving you the pain you never deserved. You were always good to me. I was bad. You cared for me but i used to get irritated by you treating me like a kid. For these years living in an unreal world I really miss the song you used to sing to me every night. Remembering that put tears to my eyes. I am sorry for not taking your calls and making every possible excuse not to see you. I was trying to ignore you so that you can observe that I need to end this. I wanted you to know that i am ignoring you i had no courage to look into your eyes and say i don’t need you anymore, I did not want to be bad, I was just so stupid……<i>to be continued.</i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" align="right" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/image.png" width="256" height="256" />I am really tired of writing stories about me. My Google Analytics says that no one cares for it. So why do I write about me? For future maybe! Maybe someday I’ll be that famous that people come and visit my blog and read everything about me. Yes, it feels good to think about it, but at the same time, there are few things I’ll need to delete before someone from Media makes news of it. Yes they do it when they don’t have anything else to show. People blog about their Dogs and get it the news. I have written few extra personal things here, I really need to delete them before they track it down. </p>
<p>But surely I am wasting a lot of time writing about me. Well, it’s a personal blog, what else Am I suppose to write? I already have got couple of other blogs on various topics. I am not able to update anyone them. Should I let my Cousin Blog here? Or should I Start being Informative by writing more <i>How to Make Tea</i> kind of posts?</p>
<p>Well, this kind of posts work, they get a lot of people from Search, Last time I wrote about how to gain confidence, and I got few hundreds of people visiting that particular post in January from Google. Yes, I think I need to change this. My friend <a href="http://www.chetanbhawani.com">Chetan Bhawani</a> does that. He blogs about everything informative! He does it good. I might follow him.</p>
<p>I have got so many things on hold. I don’t know when I can say I have achieved it. Even after planning my year 2010, I am not able to do a single thing so far. Ok time up, no more cribbing, I’ll be regular on this blog. I promise that. Someone told me I write well, but I know I can’t write Book, but couple of blog posts will do. </p>
<p>What I’ll do is I’ll unplug my laptop from internet and write blog posts in offline mode. Maybe that will help. This Social media thing has made me crazy. I can live without food at times but no without them. I want to change it desperately. I need to get sometime offline and live it. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/image2.png" width="512" height="290" /><font size="2"></font></p>
<p>People will laugh at you if you say that t you haven’t heard of <b>MTV Roadie</b>, For all those people (who were living under the rocks) If you ask me, it’s totally a nonsense fake reality show where people are tortured till the end and the judges do every possible thing to make it their (contestants’’) worst experience in their lives. </p>
<p>But if you still want to consider as I reality show then here are few facts that can prove you wrong. Here is an Interesting Wrap up <a href="http://ankkkit.blogspot.com/2009/05/roadies-hit-disaster-i-am-very-sure.html">Story from Roadies 4 to Roadies 7</a> (Opens in new tab).</p>
<h3>Roadies 8 Auditions </h3>
<p>It’s the time when the bald brothers again started screwing people with their shits. I have watched couple of Episodes of MTV Roadies myself and have observed that only people whom they (judges) think will be some entertainment to them or people would be interested to see them further in the show, are selected and others are sent home. </p>
<p>Raghu and Rajiv are two people who get a lot of entertainment for free, even I enjoy watching it, I mean I love when they screw guys who try to be cool or disrespect girls, but sometimes it pisses me off when I see these two bald boys going completely *ssholes making fun of people and abusing them for no reason.    <br />Okay guys, you have a popular show in your hands and the show has a great following.</p>
<p align="left"><iframe style="width: 520px; height: 349px" title="YouTube video player" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hsik0DzgFdw?rel=0" frameborder="0" width="425" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><font size="1"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsik0DzgFdw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Watch on YouTube</a></font> </p>
<p>Here is an the video of Roadies 8 Auditions where a guy Suraj aka Nagesh trying to get the sympathy of the judges and he actually gets it, but the sad part is, <a href="http://www.phototamasha.com/blogs/2011/02/16/mtv-roadies-8-fake-truth-of-suraj-aka-nagesh/" target="_blank">He is a Fake</a>. If you watch the above video, do you think he is that unlucky? I mean Okay, you are from a village and you don’t have any friends, you worked as a floor cleaner, dish washer and even sweeper. Before going inside the dark room he said he never watched any episode so far and when he is talking to these three idiots (R, R, and R) he mention that he made a decision to go for Roadies after watching it on TV. You can <a href="http://www.phototamasha.com/blogs/2011/02/18/suraj-aka-nagesh-episode-spoliers/" target="_blank">read more here</a>.</p>
<h3>If the show is not scripted</h3>
<p>So, this leads me to say that Raghu and Rajiv and also Ranavijay (R, R, and R) are the biggest fools who were not able to catch or point out any lie of this guy. </p>
<h3>And if the show is scripted</h3>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://asifahmed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/image3.png" width="500" height="347" />I would say again, these two Dumb and Bald ( R and R) know nothing about life, all the statements which impressed me and made me think that Raghu is the creator of a popular show for a reason. But hey Raghu, if you shout about something which is already planned and reading all those statements form a Script, you are just Barking like a DOG. </p>
<p>If I still believe that the show was not scripted when it started but you guys started adding <i>masala</i> to it which really bores. I would prefer to watch a <i>saas bahu</i> show which I can watch with my family. </p>
