Parliament Attack: A day to remember.

It was about 4 years ago on December 13, 2001 Indian Parliament was attacked by terrorists. It resulted in the death of all the terrorists and seven Indian policemen. I still remember how the news was flashed Indian Parliament Under Attack by all the Indian news channels aka the 9/11 attack when American channels showed America Under Attack.
After the attack there were questions asked to the MPs inside about what they felt and most of them said they would have been happy to give their life for the country. The best was from then Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Nirupam that he would have killed atleast 5 0r 6 terrorist before dying. The verdict against few of the people who had master minded is still pending. Also during these years there was an attack on one of the person whom police claims to have master minded the all episode.
In the Feb this year I had the previlege to go to the Parliament House. It was quite an experience. I also saw the marks made by the bullets.
The attack created a big hole into Indian Intelligence Services. Nowhere would have been a attack such as this where armed men were almost successfull to seige the highest government building. Had it not been for those Seven Great Men who gave their life, India would have been having elections at various constituencies in six months time.

Getting Started

Days ago I got an email with subject head: UK Requirement, from my cousin. The mail was a part of a long forwarded message asking to send the same to as many people as possible and you might get some rewards from Microsoft. There were many comments from people claiming to be working in well known MNCs that they got money for the same. After going through it for 15 mins, I thought why not try luck for myself. But I had very few list of email ids of my friends or relatives. So I thought the best I can do is to copy-paste the email ids of all the people from where this mail had been forwarded. As I was about to do it, I thought it would be dangerous and God Knows if there were any IT laws that will result in me behind the bars. So I opened up the Gods gift to netlings--GOOGLE. I searched for UK requirement. Was unlucky and couldn't find any site leading to the mail I got. After few other tries, I entered Microsoft mail. And voila I got a few sites about Microsoft Mail Hoax and Virus Busters etc.. I came to know that the same variant(mail) is been running in the net since 1997 and it is a hoax mail. Even there are warnings regarding the same put up at the Microsoft site. And I was depressed that I came to know just hours back. I thought why it took such a long time for the mail to start off in my country. At that point I was going through Google News and the answer was there : Bill Gates in India.
