OYE TECHIE...TECHIE OYE

This post is purely a work of fiction and its resemblance to any person living or dead is totally coincidental…A computer engineer RAM who completed his B.E. from Sardar Patel Institute of Technology and joined an IT firm…
Let me describe his pre-marital life first...He was obsessed with computers since his college days...When youngsters of his age used to watch fashion models…He was busy in comparing models of laptop and mobile handsets...He still thinks in terms of Memory size/Storage capacity...His dream was (and still is) to have 2 computers with extra-large screen…which would be used only by him...and a big big server also...which will occupy his entire room and will have enormous storage capacity…Whenever he had to give a birthday gift to his friends…He always thought of pen-drive or DVD writer only as gifts…He loved writing Tech blog…He treated his laptop like his own child…
In short…His life was going smoothly on in terms of ‘processing speed’…until he married a girl who was not from IT background…And then hell breaks loose…
Being a wife of a computer nerd...she had to deal with peculiar problems which wives of other kind of professionals do not have to face...Now have a look at their married life...(I mean read what is written below...Don't get excited at the thought of peeping into their home)...
Whenever she wanted to talk to RAM…He used to ask her to come online on yahoo or gmail…
One day she wore a new dress and asked him “How do I look?”…and he switched on webcam on his laptop…so that he could observe his wife through webcam…



One day she questioned…”What do you feel about me?” …and he sent an Orkut testimonial to her…expressing his feelings towards her…
One day she wanted to go out for shopping…He pulled up one chair for her, made her sit and logged onto a shopping website…and specifically gadgets section…forgetting the simple fact that his wife is a woman at the end of the day.
One day they had some arguments…and to continue with this fight…He used slapster on Orkut…and threw an egg on her facebook profile…to give way to his anger…
One day she asked him to buy a necklace for her…and He bought a 4 GB pen-drive with a string attached to it…Seeing strange reactions on her face…He promised her that next time, he would buy her an 8 GB pen-drive…
Strangely…The only time he 'forgot' to carry his laptop was…at the time of his honeymoon… (No prizes for guessing the reason behind it…)
These un'forgettable' moments brought a new small gadget to his home...One day she told him that she had 'good news'…and he logged in his net connection to surf news websites…Unable to find any ‘good’ news of his interest…He sent an offline message on messenger to his wife…She, in turn, sent a pdf file of her medical report(see how wives have to adjust in life especially if they are from a non techie background)…and he sent an e-card congratulating her…undermining his critical role in this news…
On the day of naming ceremony of his daughter, first thing he did was…He registered an email ID and domain name with his new-born daughter’s name…and brought an educational laptop for his baby…he wanted his daughter to be tech-savvy from the initial days only…
One night, RAM was alone at home…busy with his laptop…finding his whereabouts on Google Earth…Thieves entered his house and RAM didn’t notice them…They looted everything from his house…except RAM and his laptop…When his wife got this news, she came back to home and threw his laptop out of the window…hoping that RAM would now devote his time to his family and home…

But haay re biwi ki footi kismat…
Next day…he was found out on the footpath next to his building…updating his status on Tweeter and Orkut as “out-of-home”…and writing a post on his blog…about his experience of being on foot-path…
