Mujhse dosti karoge?
Today, as I opened my University email box, this message flashed in front of me, which totally drove me crazy! Hi , I am XYZ now working in City X as an engineer in the ABC project. I did my graduation in "Timbaktoo" university. I got ur mail address from net. so if u like to be a good friend u can contact me. Regards, XYZ I was so furious, not at what the guy had written, but the medium. I don't understand why people, confuse professional life with personal life! Off late, there have been people who have written unacceptable emails to be by acquring email address from my website. That email address has always been for professional reasons and so far, even my family members and close friends have not written to me on that address. Maybe I am over reacting, but I certainly don't appreciate people approaching me in this manner. Its another story, that people still write to me on that address, considering that its the only public email id, and approach me for strictly educational purposes. There was a guy, whom I tried to help with his GRE enquiries and he straight away shot an email, as to whether we can talk on the phone!!!!!!! Then, there are few others, who address me as "Dr. ROS" or "Madam ROS" Gosh!! I have still not got that degree and please don't ever call me MADAM!(Some of my friends do use this word for me, but I dont mind it from their mouth) The meaning of word "Madam" assumes a totally different meaning in this Country:O Few others, from Hyderabad have contacted me with different enquiries "ranging from my major until my marital status" only coz I have a Telugu sounding last name! No! I cannot speak Telugu and nor I speak Latin, french, German!!!! I talked to a friend about it, and was surprised to know that one gentleman used her University email address to contact her for matrimonial purposes! And now someone from "some farway land" wants to be good friends with me!! No! my dear, you need something else to be friends with me! AND THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT THE WAY!!!!! The qualifications, you possess are not enough for you to be my friend. Talk about cons of having a website:( |

So you were saying....#Prad!
Hahhahhaa.Man! I can never do that, yaar:( Sounds tempting, though:D
Lolz @"Sir";)Brilliant one-liner:D
#Sheels!
WOW! Prad's comment must give you an explanation. Someone might have done the honors for you:O
In my case, our University server automatically treats them as spam:)
ROS - Be happy ke koi "aunty" nahi bulata hai tumhe ;) he he he
Well if your e-mail address is out there then I guess you should expect e-mails from anyone and everyone....cause you can't prevent anyone from sending you an e-mail. I wouldn't be furious as long as its not spam.
#Bhole,
Maar chahiye kya tujhe:p
Aunty, please..mere photos aur meree harkaton se kya mein tumhein aunty lagtee hoon???
Anyhow, if the email was regarding Drug Delivery and Nanotechnology, then its fine, otherwise I am not willing to answer questions that relate to my marital status nor the email address is for making friendships in wonderland!
Amazing, coz in 3 years of stay, none has ever sent me such email:o
hey won't call you madam... can we call you aunty???
ROS Aunty??? it looks good believe me... :-)
Shhh!! Virdi uncle...Shishter, kyun nahi bulate:p
Hey ROS, Ya, that is so irritating na. Ridiculous requests. Sometimes one wonders whether to laugh or cry at such things :-)
'Dr. ROS' sounds soooo cool! :-)
I totally understand what u mean Rays...it's disgusting how ppl market their qualifications to gain friendship, how can they even begin to think that way??
Keshi.
#Viks,
I have not yet replied, but this is what I am going to write, depends whether I would"
Well, thanks for taking the pains to write to me. I certainly appreciate your offer, but I am sorry I cannot accept that.
This email address is strictly for "professional"purposes, so if you foresee a business networking or have a job for me in the near future, please do not hesitate to contact me!
Ya, I can be a bad girl at times:D
#Keshi,
Welcome to my "Life":)
Exactly, this is just friendship offer, have seen worse cases! Skewed perceptions about friendships!!
Anyhow, I just checked your blog after hopping at Puneet's and found you here.Strange coincidence:)
Keep coming!
prad's idea is good..
btut ingeneral..yar this happens all the time everywhere
i get so many mainls/orkut scraps/msgs at yahoo blah blah wat not with friendship offers
(u shd read the Nathu ban gaya CD post at mydayzwithmyself.blogspot.com , if u havent already....it's worth a laugh!)
chill yaar
and ya, even i'm called Ma'am by sooo many ppl, esp ppl older and senior to me..it gets irritating.!
Ah!
#Kiddo!
Oops! missed your comment. No re, I haven't read the my dayz with myself wala blog!
Are, nahi..Im chillaxed! I don't mind the scraps etc, on any other "alternative" email address, but you know there are certain things that means something.
For me, I don't allow any random junta writing to me over there.
P.S- Saw my bosses email, so that blew my lid so I read that email with contempt:(
thank god u didnt get a "mujhse shaadi karogi" mail !!
ekdum salman khan-priyanka chopra ishtyle..bole toh..
:)
#Kini,
"Welcome to my Life"..nahi yaar, that would have been too shocking, especially when there was no photo attached with the email:p
/*Thanks for your great blog that will help me add knowledge to my own site on Self-Talk. Keep up the good work, you are providing a great resource on the Internet here! */
yeh le..khush reh..ek aur !!! my..my !! u seem to have a lot on your plate...
=))
#Life scenario,
Thanks, atleast my "talk"helped some soul, over here:))
#Kini!
Hehehe..Itnon ko leke mein kya karoon??Too many options in life, can confuse you to no extent;)
What an offer!!
Pehle, title dek ke ye laga ki tuje ye kaisi museebat aagayi ki, dost doondne me lag gayi??(my hindi is baaad!!!!)
Its really disgusting and you were apt in overreacting over it.
Well! when it calls for a professional id, you need to be ready for Dr.Ross....hehehe(now, my humour is baaaad!!!)
Ohh this is so irritating seriously.
The funniest thing was somebody trying to get in touch coz of the telugu sounding surname!
Reminded me I was in a silly press conference recently - yawning n one Mr Sharma of "Punjab Kesari" newspaper got after me coz we shared the same last name. The first Q was .. whts my 'gotra' n then - if I'm single hehe .. Gosh how can I marry a punjab kesari journo!
Some ppl don't mind fishing anywhere.
Ohh I saw your website and email and SSN on your blog....will you be friends with me...I am from North Central Chilli..and I like riding bicycles, and taking long romantic walks. Friendship..yes?
hey ROS
i hear you gal..it drives me mad too when ppl send forwards to my university ID.. i especially hate those junk emails i get these day like "viagra for cheap.." u get the picture...
anyways girlie try not to let those emails get u
cheers
jeenu
Hey Dr ROS,

#Rik,
Nahi yaar, thankfully aaj tak aisee naubat nahi ayee ki dost "dhondne" pada hai:D
@ur humor is bad---> Semester is goin on, I can understand:)
#Aria,
ROTFL@ gotra:))
I can imagine, if this punjab kesri journo doing this to you..
So now, I know..Your surname is Sharma and that you are a Journo for a magazine/newspaper and that paper is certainly not "Punjab Kesri":)))
#Hahaha Freako!
Funny..this so doesnt sound like a friendhip offer;)
Why would I like to have a "romantic" walk along the beach with "just-a-friend"??
:)
BTW, how have you been, long time no see..
#Jeens Baby,
Wow, sad that email addresses do not say anything about sex of the concerned person.Hahha
P.S-Got your message, shall call you tonite. Have been thoda busy.
#Sash,
Tab tak doosra post aa jayega:(
Thida time bhi nahi nikal saktee, too bad:O
Just kidding dear, Hum to yaheen hai,,aate rehna:)

Hey ROS,

Oklahoma City?? So how did your "visit"go??;)
#Gangadhar!!
Hahaa,,the guy has some really good ideas and he so knows that they aren't suitable for me:O
For that, I have to personally log on to "those"sites and I WON'T do that:))
Thanks for blog rolling me:)
er.... how do I address ye? Dr. ROS or Madam ROS or Shishter ROS. :-) LoL...
First time here. And enjoyed your blog. Kya title hai, yaar, mast.

Hang in here, you will know exactly how to address me:)Hahhahaha, Prad rocks, when it comes to ideas:) man!how you guys are drolling over his thought..Hahaha
