Our college’s annual inter-college technical fest Jagriti ended yesterday . The three days of Jagriti were really awesome and we enjoyed it to the brim ( Afterall a break from studies is always welcomed by us ) . Now what ? Back to studies ? Obviously , semesters are approaching . But before going back to the same old routine , we decided to celebrate the last study-free days in our own way . Someone coined an idea of invading the roads of Delhi right through the night , until Sun appears to end the party . Everyone agreed and slowly but surely , after a few arrangements , we had nine bikes and twenty engineers ready to take off .

Warden allowed us to leave the campus on the condition that we won’t return until the broad daylight . We were not in much of a hurry anyway . First thing first , it was made sure that petrol tank of all the bikes were more than filled with the fuel . But the things didn’t went exactly as planned . A puncture in the back tyre of one of the bikes ( and that too , twice
) delayed our caravan by one hour . As a result , we were
not able to enter New Delhi until 1’0 clock . But as they say , better late than never . Once in the capital , we were flying towards our first and foremost destination . No points for guessing . India Gate .
No doubt India Gate is a wonderful piece of architecture . Its beautiful . You could actually look at it continously for a day or two and still want to have a better look at the masterpiece . While we were parking our bikes , we were surprised to see a noticeable number of people gathered near India Gate , this late at night ( or should I say , early in the morning) . Guess what !!! On our way towards India Gate , we heard someone shout “Lights…Camera…Action” . There was a shooting in progress . It was Pankaj Kapoor shooting for his upcoming movie “Office Office” . Never ever a trip to India Gate was so exciting .
Soon enough , after the pack up , it was time for us to click a pose . Snaps for every possible angle were captured and after admiring India Gate for some time , we were back to the roads of the capital .
Our next spot was the famous Gurudwara at Bangla Sahib . After washing my hands and feet , when I entered the place , I was spellbound to see how beautiful the Gurudwaara looked amidst the lake . I have never been to a Gurudwara before . So obviously , it was a moment to remember for me . We stayed there for about an hour . It was so relaxing and a lovely feeling staying there . All the headache which was caused by the numerous mishappenings caused at the Sky Fest had gone by now .
On the roads again . We took care to avoid any police car patrolling the roads . Many of the guys didn’t had the license + many bikes had papers missing + few bikes without the rear view mirror + three bikes were enjoying tripling + few of us were without helmet as well . Enough reasons for the cops to gift us fine . But lucky we were , as we did not experience any such misfortune . Making our way from the Red Fort to Rajghaat , Feroz Shah Kotla to Cannaught Palace , finally we were back in hostel at around 6 A.M.
Last night was one to remember . Riding on the empty roads of Delhi , with the peers , all night long was an experience of lifetime .

Don’t get confused by the title and start thinking that I have hacked something big ….. just couldn’t come up with a more flamboyant title to describe something interesting that I did last summer ….. Just have a look at the snapshot of the inbox of my temporary “hacking special” yahoo account …..

Please don’t get me wrong …… I am not a professional hacker
…. And all the victims listed here are no one but my college mates ……. Almost everyone in the hostel having an orkut account had their password at my disposal within a week of setting down the trap ……
Well , it was just a mixture of few fake login pages and recently released greasemonkey hack that led so many victims towards my inbox …….. It feels so great to have the power in your hand ….. to have all your buddies requesting you not to tamper with their account …… Infact I didn’t tampered with any of those passwords …… Almost all of them are unread till date (except a few…..some of them wanted to confirm the tragic incident)….
……
So that was till a few days ago …. I stopped receiving any more mails titled “Password Hacked by Ethical Hacker”……Either the script has stopped working (never checked it again) or my friends have gone extra careful knowing that someone’s always sniping them down ….
All was going well …. I had given my hacking business a halt ……Everything was going as per the routine until one day when Ashutosh called me …….
Ashu : Harsh , have you hacked me off late ?
Me : No buddie , not this time . (in a mocking tone)
Ashu : Its not a joke . I am serious this time around .I am unable to login into my orkut account . It’s got to be you . No one else can .
Me : Are you gone nuts ? What interest will I hold in changing your password and robbing your account off you . It doesn’t make any sense.
Ashu : Don’t give me any excuses . I am dead sure its you . So , are you telling me or what ?
Me : Don’t act foolish . I told you its not me . For God sake , believe me damed.
Ashu : So you are not telling . Go to hell . I don’t give a damn about that account , I am better off making a new one than pleading before you . By the way , thanks a lot .
With these words he finished the call .The “Boy who cried Wolf” story started flashing in my mind . I was blamed of doing something that I hadn’t done and more so by one of my close friends . I don’t blame him . I would be baffled too if someone hack me down ….. and anyways , I blackmailed him a number of times saying that I have got his password “safe” in my inbox ……
Though it took just one meeting for us to clear all the misunderstandings , I learnt the same lesson that the wolf story teaches us ….
“Don’t cry ‘wolf’ , when there is no ‘wolf’ , even if there are few wolfs around! “
