My Gulti Fan

Well, I have been packing up for my long ride home from SFO to MUMBAI, I returned my rental car today so weekends I am kinda locomotionless. I had procured enough fuel for the weekend anyway. So since its my turn to get bored and stoned, I decided to get onto yahoo chat. And since I was stoned I just got onto it onto the #India chatroom with my primary ID.

I use gaim for messaging, I like it. Gaim sucks at times with its tooltips getting stuck on a specific region of screen area. Today I noticed that even when I signed out of the chatroom gaim didnt log me out completely.
The author would like to dedicate the following post to the developers at http://gaim.sourceforge.net and the makers of Heineken who made this possible. The author is also greatful to Redpine Signals, for hiring the author for a period of 2003-2004, and letting the author discover the gulti mess called Hyderabad.
So, gaim didnt sign me out completely and it started a series of 99% gulti IMs when author was busy freeing up disk space for pr0n and consuming Heineken.

Disclaimer: I am least bothered to mask the IM Ids in the following conversation, if you try bug the author, you would be reported to yahoo. I dont know about the other man. Gult chicks, maybe you can try your luck. So here we go.
