Current Tune: Tu Mere Ru Ba Ru Hai – Maqbool
This morning was checking out our photos to see how many hits we have gotten. The hits are going up and even had some comments. One of them was from Neeraj’s friend but the other I am not sure who wrote it.
“really oweful” wrote : what a joke
Hmm. I don’t know who this person is and I really didn’t take the time to track its IP address. If it was one of you – then learn how to spell. 
Also, tell me what you thought was the joke, I would also like to laugh. 
So should we privatize our photos? I talked to Neeraj about it today and they were never meant for just “anyone” in the world. So I think we are going to make our photos private very soon. 
If you all would tell us what you think that would really help. Would you or have you privatized your own photos? Everyone’s thoughts are welcomed, in fact, the more the merrier.
Alvida. Jai Mata Di.
[UPDATE: 22nd August, 2004] After long consideration and with your help, np.com’s photos are now private. If you would like to see the photos — shoot us an email at np@neerajpoonam.com . 
You will get a reply quicker than you can say – “Say Cheese”. 
yaar aisse to hota hi in the web world..dont let these things affect u! :) people will talk let them! they will shut up soon enough too :D:D:lol::wave:
That’s true. I knew that from the beginning that will happen. The question is, do we keep our photos public or private? Which you didn’t answer.
The more I think about it, the more I am moving toward privatization. My philosophy has always been that if you are aware of something and you still don’t try to avoid it — then there is no one to blame other than yourself if something bad happens.
What do you say?
peace of mind! thats all we all look for..and if having a private album gives u that ! than u should do it :D..
Sahi baat kahi.
Thank you. That’s what I needed to hear. 
mereko password dediyo warna i will go on a bhook hartaal
Well we don’t want that to happen. Lag raha hai ke meri bechari bhabhi ko bhi aaise dhamki dene wale ho. Mata Rani, Bhabhi ki rakshaa karna.

hi Poonam,
I will suggest… You must keep Album password protected. It will help you maintain the privacy.
You can provide for option of asking password via email.
Some of them will be person, you already know, no problem for that.
And for those, who visit your site for first time… you can judge about them from their comments before providing with the password.
Example: remember u were not able to access some pics on my site
P.S. In case I don’t get the password, I will revoke the idea, and you won’t be able to use it… as I have all rights to it.
[Ridhish] – Tumhe khush hona chaiye, tumhari biwi ko already itna maan samaan mil raha hai.
Tumhari value toh hai aich hi. 
[Ankur] – You made valid points about password protection. I think that is the way to go.
Of course you will get the password. We met thru the photos first.
So I think will be implemented pretty soon now…
Thanks for the input Ankur and Ridhish! Greatly appreciated!
It was but one comment…and doens’t mean anything :) Hope to see pleny more photos soon! :D
That’s true too Vidya, it was only one comment. But I think Ridhish makes a good point about “peace of mind”. Hehe.
More photos are definitely to come; I just need to get another scanner!
Hi poonam..came across ur comments on Vidya’s blog and found them to be very interesting. Nice to read a different perspective on the issue.
Nice blog btw! :)
take care
Hello Ashwin,
I am glad that you stopped by and keep coming back. 
Yes we had a nice discussion on Vidya’s blog. Its a nice topic and interesting thoughts brought up by everyone.
Thank you for the compliment – Neeraj and I appreciate it.
hey there – just a thought on your photos – do what you need to with them, however I’ve checked them out just to see your fam/friends etc – I keep up with your website to see how you’re doing! Hope all is well, I miss you guys from BMA 478 and the like (though not the class itself!) and I hope the new job is going well. Best of luck, keep in touch!

Hey Kristin!!!
Gosh – I didn’t know you came to the site! 
You just made my day!! 
How’s it going? How’s Caterpillar treatin’ ya?? 
Hope all is well with you!! 
Good point. We have ended up deciding on privatizing them. If only I hadn’t deleted the IP address info so quickly. (Dr. West would have been so proud
) I will give you the info so you can keep up with the photos — my goodness, how about you do me a favor and send me a photo so I can put it up in the friends section. 
btw -I am serious. 
The job is going well — I am in Morton these days because I am on the bench (waiting for the next project). So we should do lunch sometime!
Keep coming to the website! I am so happy to hear that you come!
You are the third friend this week that has told me that they visit the site (but never write comments 
). Two of my school friends told me as well!
Best of luck to you too!
Keep in touch as well! And keep commenting. 
Mera password kahan hai? *sob* *sob*
[Manpreeu] – aap apna gmail account wapas check karo jee.
Hello again!
Sorry it took so long for me to get back, I missed the “check this box to get emails about comments on this post” spot, so I JUST checked back today! I’m doing well, CAT is treating me well. There are some days that I feel out of place still, but it’s just because I am new. I’m working a support job, so every 1st of the month I’m in at 2AM or so to run some stuff, but it’s not too bad. Our group is actually moving to AB at the end of Sept.
If I can find a pic I will send you one – I don’t have any on the computer (alas, no digital camera OR scanner!) but I might have something from Ian’s roommate.
Lunch would be awesome sometime – how long are you going to be around, do you know? We’ll have to figure something out – I don’t think this week will work for me, but next week probably will if it works for you!
And I will definitely keep coming to the site! It’s an awesome way to keep up on how you are doing and how things are with you and Neeraj. I guess that’s it (this is a novel!) – I’ll talk to you later, let me know how long you’ll be in town! Take care!
Hey Kristin!!
My excitement level with all that has been going on in life just jumped two more notches!! (I just found out I got a raise with Accenture! 
)
I read your journal the other nite.
I see that you have bought a cat and a new car!! Congrats friend!! 
So you have to stay up late eh? How do you manage being able to work the whole night?? I am so impressed Kristin!! 
So your group is moving to AB, excited or no?
Yes, please do find a picture! Send to me as soon as you find it.
I will have to tell Swapna as well. She is working some crazy hours @ Kraft too!
Next week lunch sounds fabulous! I don’t really know how long I am going to be in town, but let’s plan.
Beginning of the week is always better than the end. You just let me know when is good for you, and we will put it on our calenders. 
Yes you right – it is a great way to keep in touch! I hope you keep coming back! There is a lot going on in Neeraj and my life right now — hopefully the good things will outlast anything bad.
I hope Ian is well and tell him I said hello. 
Take care!!!
