The Switch
Got a real scare today when I saw a mail from one of my good friends. The mail went like this:
‘Sampath, Dunno if you’ve seen it yet.. guess somebody’s hacked in to you blog ..Your photograph with turban taken in kambla has been replaced with somebody else’s snap..Some photographer guy trying hard to pose’
My site- hacked? OMG, has my biggest fear of having my site hacked and replaced with porno pics come true? All’s lost… these were the thoughts that went thru my mind that instant. After I caught up with my racing heart I realized she was talking about the change in my profile pic, you know, the one in my ‘Sez Who’ page. Yes, I changed it when I no longer could stand comments like ‘Which one’s the buffalo’ (this in spite having explicit call outs marking my position in the picture), ‘the buffalo looks cuter than you’ (this one mainly from wifee - you can’t blame her though, the picture was quite grainy you see) etc. And the comment from my friend above definitely tells me that she too hadn’t recognize me in the pic. Hey, I was not the one with the turban. Do you see a cool guy with camera, without horns, and definitely without a turban - that’s me.
Anyways, now that I have replaced that pic with a much slicker one, I hope there won’t be any more sarcasm.

Stumble it!
