BJP wins Karnataka Elections 2008
still in the idea of blaming "BJP" as Hindu special? Almost every other party in the country deserted BJP saying religious party.. none are exceptional including AIADMK, TDP.. but what BJP's stand today in the national Level is everyone knows.. Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, and Now in Karnataka.. doesn't it tell us what the people of this country are thinking about BJP, not the parties.. Yes, its not the parties and their statements.. its the people..
and now they are expressing their support and feelings.. seems like time for congress to think again n again n again on their policies and their administration in the states they are ruling.. if not, very soon.. the word "CONGRESS" will be a history for the generations coming.. :) campaign of giants like "Sonia, Manmohan & Rahul" couldn't save the party in Karnataka.. May be mr.veerappa moily better go and take care of his state CONGRESS.. :) Btw, YSR and NTR's daughter Purandhareswary also went to do campaign for CONGRESS.. :) time for Purandhareswary to understand that she won irrespective of Party Just bcoz of NTR.. not for her personal charm or her husband's ... :) nobody is going to listen to her unless she follow the foot steps of her father.. tht steps we all know.. Against to Congress..
Parties said Modi Modi... but what happened? He won.. not just won.. he won comfortably.. then HP results.. Now Karnataka results.. what Congress is doing in Andhra is nothing but following the foot steps of Narendra Modi... :) saying "Development" .. "Development".. whole state is watching who is really Developing.. :) people or leaders.. then comes TRS.. with Telangana.. what happens if KCR become CM of Telangana and after few years only certain districts of telangana developed much bcoz of good leaders and the others don't? what if the other districts in telangana itself gets united and ask for separate state called "MINI TELANGANA"? will he accept to divide the state into mini telangana? :) all this a** holes are taking care of their own agenda.. why don't we understand? if all these a**holes did sit for drinking in the night and getting up in d afternoon and do nothing for their districts or constituencies to which they r representing, ofcourse.. the place won't b developed.. they created it.. they are responsible for it.. its not a united state.. all this while what these a**holes did?
please don'y buy the stories of these leaders and their stories.. we r all one.. we shouldn't forget on what grounds our state has been formed.. if everybody wants a separate .. Guys.. I also want a separate state for NALGONDA or KARIMNAGAR or ADILABAD.. i want to be the CM... :)

Actual call centre conversations !!!!! :)
Customer: 'I've been ringing 0800 2100 for two days and can't get through to enquiries, can you help?'.
Operator: 'Where did you get that number from, sir?'.
Customer: 'It was on the door to the Travel Centre'.
Operator: 'Sir, they are our opening hours'.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------
Samsung Electronics
Caller: 'Can you give me the telephone number for Jack?'
Operator: 'I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand who you are talking about'.
Caller: 'On page 1, section 5, of the user guide it clearly states that I need to unplug the fax machine from the AC wall socket and telephone Jack before cleaning. Now, can you give me the number for Jack?'
Operator: 'I think you mean the telephone point on the wall'.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
RAC Motoring Services
Caller: 'Does your European Breakdown Policy cover me when I am travelling in Australia ?'
Operator: ' Doesn't the product name give you a clue?'
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
Caller (enquiring about legal requirements while travelling in France ):
'If I register my car in France , do I have to change the steering wheel to the other side of the car?'
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
Directory Enquiries
Caller: 'I'd like the number of the Argoed Fish Bar in Cardiff please'.
Operator: 'I'm sorry, there's no listing. Is the spelling correct?'
Caller: 'Well, it used to be called the Bargoed Fish Bar but the 'B' fell off'.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven.
Operator: 'Woven? Are you sure?'
Caller: 'Yes. That's what it says on the label; Woven in Scotland '.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone box told a worried operator:
'I haven't got a pen, so I'm steaming up the window to write the number on'.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
Tech Support: 'I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop'.
Customer: 'OK'.
Tech Support: 'Did you get a pop-up menu?'.
Customer: 'No'.
Tech Support: 'OK. Right-Click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?'
Customer: 'No'.
Tech Support: 'OK, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?'.
Customer: 'Sure. You told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click''.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
Tech Support: 'OK. In the bottom left hand side of the screen, can you see the 'OK' button displayed?'
Customer: 'Wow. How can you see my screen from there?'
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
Caller: 'I deleted a file from my PC last week and I have just realised that I need it. If I turn my system clock back two weeks will I have my file back again?'.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---- ------------ --------- ---------
There's always one. This has got to be one of the funniest things in a long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for 'Termination without Cause'.
Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now I know why they record these conversations! ):
Operator: 'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?'
Caller: 'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect. '
Operator: 'What sort of trouble??'
Caller: 'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.'
Operator: 'Went away?'
Caller: 'They disappeared. '
Operator: 'Hmm So what does your screen look like now?'
Caller: 'Nothing.'
Operator: 'Nothing??'
Caller: 'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.'
Operator: 'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??'
Caller: 'How do I tell?'
Operator: 'Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??'
Caller: 'What's a sea-prompt?'
Operator: 'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?'
Caller: 'There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type.'
Operator: 'Does your monitor have a power indicator??'
Caller: 'What's a monitor?'
Operator: 'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??'
Caller: 'I don't know.'
Operator: 'Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??'
Caller: 'Yes, I think so.'
Operator: 'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.
Caller: 'Yes, it is.'
Operator: 'When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??'
Caller: 'No.'
Operator: 'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.'
Caller: 'Okay, here it is.'
Operator: 'Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer.'
Caller: 'I can't reach.'
Operator: 'Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??'
Caller: 'No.'
Operator: 'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??'
Caller: 'Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark.'
Operator: 'Dark??'
Caller: 'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.
Operator: 'Well, turn on the office light then.'
Caller: 'I can't.'
Operator: 'No? Why not??'
Caller: 'Because there's a power failure.'
Operator: 'A power....... .. A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now.
Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in??'
Caller: 'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.'
Operator: 'Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.'
Caller: 'Really? Is it that bad?'
Operator: 'Yes, I'm afraid it is.'
Caller: 'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??'
Operator: 'Tell them you're too f *** ing stupid to own a computer!!!! !

Fighting Terrorism? :)
I found this information interesting. But I don't know the validity of the information.
Did you know that:
a.. USA supported Bin Laden and the Taliban for years, and viewed them as freedom fighters against the Russians?
b.. As late as 1998, the US was paying the salary of every single Taliban official in Afghanistan ?
c.. There is more oil and gas in the Caspian Sea , but you need a pipeline through Afghanistan to get that out?
d.. UNOCAL, a giant oil conglomerate, wanted to build a 1000 mile pipeline from the Caspian Sea through Afghanistan to the Arabian Sea ?
e.. UNOCAL spend $ 10,000,000,000 on geological studies for the pipeline construction, and courted the Taliban for their support in allowing the construction to begin?
f.. All leading Taliban officials were in Texas negotiating with UNOCAL in 1998?
g.. In 1999, Taliban changed its mind and threw UNOCAL out of the country and awarded the pipeline project to a company in Argentina ?
h.. John Maresca, VP of UNOCAL testified before Congress and said no pipeline should be set until the Taliban was gone and a more friendly government was established?
i.. After 1999, the Taliban became the most evil people in the world
j.. In 2001, Bush declares war against Afghanistan , though not a single Afghani was involved in the plane hijacking?
k.. Bush blamed Bin Laden, but did not offer any proof, saying it was confidential?
l.. Talibans offered to hand over Bin Laden if there was proof, but Bush bombed Afghanistan instead?
m.. We now have a new government in Afghanistan , which is friendlier?
n.. That the leader of the new government is one gentleman called Hamid Karzai, who formerly worked for UNOCAL?
o.. Bush appoints a special envoy (Lakhdar Ibrahimi) to represent the US to deal with the new government. This special envoy was formerly chief consultant to UNOCAL?
p.. The US government quietly announces in January 2002 that it will support the Trans-Afghan pipeline construction?
q.. President Musharraf and Hamid Karzai announce agreement in February 2002 to build proposed gas pipeline from Central Asia to Pakistan through Afghanistan ?
And you thought we were fighting terrorism here, didn't you?
