Failed testrun

Finally… finally the wait has ended. No I did not meet Trisha. How I wish!! The wait I am talking about is my rendezvous with New Asia Bar

Yep.. spent the entire Saturday evening(only evening.. the pervert P3A please read it correctly) at the highest vantage point in Singapore located on Level 71 and 72 of Swissotel, foreseeing the (almost) entire Signapore. Woww..watta view!!! And when you have your friends accompanying you over a Margarita, the ecstasy is two-fold. Somehow pakku was not in a mood to hit the dancefloor and had to don the cap of a spoilsport. Sorry guys, some other time. More on this, in coming days.

Reality shows in TV, blockbuster movies, hit-songs, cooking, technical articles, old syrupy mail-threads fail to enthrall you on few sultry days. That’s when you think of talking to your family, friends in des. First thing you think of is, trying internet telephony. Trying to find your friends over that right rectangular space of yahoo messenger over a weekend is a herculean task. Even if you find them online, some will be in deep slumber and others would be trying to woo the gal/guy who scraped a “Hi-How-are-you-bye” in Orkut. The previous sarcastic phrase is because I am not in orkut anymore :-). Me thinks, I should again join orkut and start a community ‘delete your orkut account NOW’. Phunny!!

So fed up of waiting for their reply, immediately realize how great an individual, Alexander Graham Bell was. So straight away start testing his invention. Hoping for a successful test run, you set the source test environment appropriately. TV volume is muted, 24/7 service of winamp is paused(on weekends), yahoo messenger status is changed to avoid audibles, roomie is formally asked not to disturb by banging the door. So all set for calling, expecting a nice smooth chat to glory.

Just to make things smoother, you contemplate if the timing would be proper for the other person. Now, if you are really enthu to speak to the individual, you assume it as ‘Passed’. Finally, the environment is set. The test trigger invoked. There goes the ‘Tring-Tring’ or whatever caller tune they would have.

Repolishing your voice to bring-in the enthu mood over the OFC, wait for the call to be picked up. Two – three- four rings and finally an elegant(not always) voice pops out from the other side. After those ‘Hi –hows work- watssup’ conversation, you finally hear the most irritating words you could imagine over an ISD call ‘pakku.. swalpa busy kano… amele mathadana aaita’ bit busy mann..lets talk later

*pakku fuming yet cannot display his furore* ‘ok no issues.. enjoy maadi .. bye’ with a 'smiling voice' which is so artificial yet unavoidable.

Post-Test: Test environment destroyed.
Test result: Test run successful-yet-failed with showstoppers as target environment not responding.

cheers...
