yeah..u read it right..finally after a loooooooooooong wait....i won lottery...let me be nostalgic for sometime..i still remember those kiosks..where lottery tickets were sold...those colourful tiny tickets have always mesmerised me. i used to wonder if i can buy one. once i asked my dad if he could lend me Re 1/- ...when he asked me the reason obviously he got bounced over my interest and literally threatened me to beat to hell if i do so...i never knew he would be so angry..ofcourse he has every reason to be..coz...none from his family might have ever thought of buying a lottery ticket...and i bumped out as a surprise..rather a shock for his life time..."hai ram meri beti...lottery ticket khareedna chahcti hai..woh bhi 8 years ke umr me." 'i never dared to buy one afer that but had huge discussions with my buddies on what i would do if i get luck with a lottery..i never even got a single penny or small gift through scratch cards....each time the scratch card shouts.."better luck next time"..i can visualise the sarcastic smile that the empty scratch cards throw at me..uff..no issues....
i used to play the lucky balls game in melas (exhibitions) where we need to buy 5 plastic balls for Rs 10 and throw them in the rows..the count gives us the gift...the gifts range from a small plastic frame to colour TV..wow..colour Tv at Rs 10. i bet its something beyond temptation...i played it some n number of times...and i managed to win tooth brush, a comb , detergent cake and some other -not-so-useful stuff and convinced my dad that each of them would worth Rs 10 atleast..(just saving my head..) lol
hence i grew without expecting any lottery yet had some hopes of it...after the internet boom, i opened my email account...and then one fine day received a mail from some one unknown saying that she wants to give me some money...i was like..what? why would she ever want to deposit some millions in my account. then she mentioned that she is a lawyer of some big- filthy-rich family, the head died some mysterious death and now they want to secure that money and for that they need an acocunt..luckily (????) she found my email id through internet and now she wants my account number,,,whoa,,,this is something called luck...where -out of billions of people, my email id is chosen and i would be getting money..that too at the cost of none...i didnot reply to that email thinking that i should be a bit cautious before giving out my details (thank goodness..my brain worked for a while) ....next day, i opened my mail id, and replied to the person saying that that i am interested in taking the money and let me know the procedure for the same...within no time, i received a response saying that all i need to do is just fill the form and send it back them. the form has the details of my passport and some other stuff..i..i downloaded the form and before sending it back..i asked them if i could know how legitimate they are..thats it...no correspondence aftermath...yoho..i succeeded in fishing them out yet i failed....i knew it was all fake.but just wanted to give them a punch...but i felt sorry for myself as i couldnot win lottery again...huh..sad sad.....
and its been 6 months since i have been receiving "your email won lottery" messages from, netherlands, switzerland, microsoft, and what not...huh...andrecently everything crossed limits- i received a mail from none other UNITED NATIONS...hmm..now this is it...the mail provoked me to write another blog and my luck in winning a lottery....i know i would never win...
i am one of those...who has to take all the steps to achieve something...no shortcuts for me....yet i love it as at the end of the day..all the happiness is with me (except winning the lottery) lol :)
