Here's a summary of the latest hot topic on OWTI, or better still, two versions of it.
J.R.R. Tolkien version--
For LOTR fans, look at Mitu as Frodo, Rams as Aragorn, Nerli as Legolas, Devika as Gandalf, Vadu as Boromir, and Gochi as Sauron. Note: Atish is always Mordor, come what may!
Frodo takes the trouble of carrying her digicam, taking pictures of the gang and uploading it for the benefit of us guys abroad. Credit must be given to her for that. On one occasion, she mentions that 'pictures have been uploaded' in the subject line of her email. Anyone with average IQ would know that he/she should go to www.ofoto.com and view the pictures. Everyone in OWTI defi is above-average IQ. BEEP! Wrong. Some people are too far above the average, making them the 'Smart Alecs' of the hobbits. But giving them the benefit of doubt for now, lets assume it was pure ignorance on their part. So Boromir replies on OWTI with a vengence pointing out Frodo's incompetence. History would s uggest that people do not argue with Boromir (good reason for this!) and more inportantly, Frodo is too innocent to counter-attack. But, expect the unexpected. Frodo launches a verbal attack on Boromir casting doubts on his common sense. Boromir realizes his folly and keeps quiet. Issue settled, or so it may seem.
Once again for LOTR fans, look at Mitu as Frodo, Rams as Aragorn, Nerli as Legolas, Devika as Gandalf, Vadu as Boromir, and Gochi as Sauron. Note: Atish is always Mordor, come what may!
Now the interesting part. Sauron, who loves to maul everyone (and usually fails) eyes this as a great opportunity to become the 'new-Kapil', one who relentlessly mauls his friends with smarts and wit. He looks at Frodo as an easy target and his road to stardom. (Yea right!) So Sauron send a mail on OWTI, pretty much reiterating what Boromir said, trying to mock Frodo. He even buys himself a medal and celebrates with Adit and AV over a bottle of champagne. Meanwhile, Aragorn and Legolas have the crafty side of their brains bubbling with excitement. Aragorn mails in support of Frodo with a series of SSPMS-special tirades thereby lambasting Sauron's claims. ("Gaandi la daat aale ka" easily becomes the crowd favourite.) He also plays the famous ego-card and challenges Sauron to write in response. Legolas, in the meantime, also comes up with an email that completely derails any doubts of Sauron's stupidity. This is the third email of "Nerli's trilogy - Ghhalun ghe Gochya". By now, Sauron is trying to recover from shock, not knowing how his sure-to-succees plan failed. Just then, Gandalf rises to the occasion and decides to once and for all, show people what she's all about. In an mano-e-mano duel, Sauron becomes the unfortunate victim. Her email seals the argument beyond doubt that Sauron should pack his bags and leave for another time-era, not just city. Only time will tell whether Sauron has wisened from this experience.
Final outcome-- Gochi out cold not knowing what hit him. Vadu licking wounds knowing that he was lucky to escape. Victory for Mitu, Rams, Nerli, and Devika is two-fold; massacring Gochi and providing the group with some entertainment. Others enjoy the confabulation without even a bit of remorse for the vanquished.
The non-Lord of the Rings fans version--
Mitu is a nice, good-to-all person. Mitu makes small error. All notice it, but know the answer anyway. Continue with life. Vadu, Gochi try to ridicule her for it. Novice attacks showing no virtuoso whatsoever. Mitu hits back (Surprise, surprise!). Vadu shows maturity, backs out. Gochi persists. Rams, Nerli (both pros) jump in and pummel poor Gochi. Devika delivers final knockout blow.
Final outcome-- Gochi out cold. Vadu licking wounds. Mitu, Rams, Nerli, and Devika victorious. Others enjoy the confabulation.
Just offering a third-person interpretation of it all. No offence intended. It's a 4-day weekend for us guys here, so I had some free time at hand.
