1) "Unavailable": This is what prompted me to write this article. The person in question has a nice green dot next to his name while the status was set to "Unavailable". Now who's to tell him that normal people consider green on Gtalk = available. Almost everyone (excluding members of crackpots-inc.) considers green to mean go/free/open etc. It was with this common sense knowledge that Google set green = available. Either he has a very clingy (and dumb) someone he hopes to fool or he's just plain bonkers. I have a feeling it's the latter. (Though anyone wanting to contact him that often has to be dumb)
2) "Russian Rock Machans :-)": Hmmm... What does this mean? What are its implications for the quasi-static universe of Gaudi art? Does the person who wrote this have any connections to the abyss beyond? Does he/she hope to renew longing for the metaphysical universe of retro-moderno-virtuso-writing? Your guess is as good as mine. I'm no expert on ancient calls to departed spirits :) And what's with the smiley? Anybody willing to enlighten me on the meaning of 'Machans' and how it applies to Russian rock? (whatever that is...)
3) "The Year of The Prime": OK. Prime WHAT? Jackass? Nitwit? Fool? Empty-Headed-Psychopath? I really don't think we were meant to get what it means. I'll have to report this to the committee handling the Roswell cases. Sounds suspiciously like an ET communique to me.
4) "Good God!! It's Working!! Eureka!! (no, m nt runnin around :P)"
As before, I've run out of status messages I can insult. Please do add anything you can think of. We could always do with some extra laughs :)
P.S. This article is meant to be read in a lighter vein. Don't get angry, for I don't mean any harm.

it was russians rock, machans when i saw it :P but i am not too sure what it means..and btw, both of them seem to have changed their stat messages to more safer options (both busy) as soon as you posted ;)
Maybe we should come up with our own creative status messages like :
"Rushil wants the aliens to hurry" as arbit as it can get.. wait a minute I'm gonna make that my facebook status.
Well, I'm pretty sure the comma was missing. That would be the key to understanding it wouldn't it?
well well ... gullu is back to his good ol' blunt,sarcastic self :D
"The year of the prime"- Rushil Anirudh.
[If you find it intriguing, ask me about it, preferably hot girls 18-24 ;D]
Yeah, it was russians rock. Euro 2008 obvious reference
Ah! Now it makes sense. My apologies to the person who had that as his status.
Good post!
:)
And @ chirubeta
No blog entry yet but he's gone around commenting! Lol!!
One more thing i don't understand about Gtalk status messages are things like Not here, and Out for lunch etc. Why bother signing in if you do not want people to talk to you. Is it supposed to be something 'cool' to be online always and you don't want to talk!?
Seriously. Stuff like "very busy pls no PM" or "DND, at work". As MV pointed out, why sign in?
they are probably using gtalk for that which makes them very busy... or expecting a ping from someone in particular. It starts making sense if you are in that situation... given the lack of invisibility mode in gtalk.
There is invisible mode, only not in the GTalk application, use GMail chat you have that feature
I guess not many people know of that
good one gulati :)... there was one very joyous desperado whose stat msg was 'lunch'!!! Does he dine while chatting??? Beats me... and there was the near-transvestite Goan(raghavan had noticed it:)...ob) who proudly claimed "NO BLOG HERE". But the best status msgs I've ever seen are from one gcg(now ex-gcg) fellow... On new year's day, guess what his stat msg was... "2008ax"!!!! :D
"aankhom mein teri" is the best so far
@ eccentrix, please get your facts about gcg right! If there are any doubts feel free to add kaushiklakshman@gmail.com a member of the very much still in existant gcg but just doesnt have that member you were referring to :)
still existant*
:) for all who thought only us NITKians come up with hilarious status msgs, there's this guy I know who keeps us updated on his health... "I can throw up anytime now...","Fever - 103 deg.", "no ice-creams for a week :(", "just pulled a muscle" are just a few of them. Boy, he never fails to amuse me :)
