The Colukabki Disease
IIT Bombay student Anupam Biswas 5th Year Mechanical Engg is suffering from Colukabki (caused due to excessive nabad and depression) a disease very rarely found (3 in a billion). His condition is very pathetic and the treatment is very expensive, obviously his parents are not able to afford his treatment. Orkut has agreed to pay 1 paisa after each time this message is forward. So please pass to all ur friends.
Colukabki is a pretty interesting disease. It is one of those rare diseases that are not indexed by google and no information can be found on it. When I get this kind of spam from well meaning friends, I am left wondering how could they be so stupid. Okay, most people who have forwarded this message are not stupid per se, its just that they probably know it well enough that companies (Google, Orkut, Yahoo, MSN etc etc) don’t pay people to forward messages but somehow forget this when faced with a message that could “help save a life”. Something to do with human psychology?
Oh Btw, I was under the impression that Engineering courses were of 4 year duration, since when did we have a 5th year Mechanical Engineering student?
