it was last sunday afternoon. I was quite busy at the office, when i recieved a phone call from a fellow frend. from the way she greeted i knew something exciting had happened.. so i asked her what she was upto and she burst out laughing, she said "hahaa! you and your dhiraagu!".. i grinned and asked what made her say that.. she then began talking about the "imaginative story" i posted in my blog, in which i discover a lame flaw in the dhiraagu e-bill system, that let me view users' e-bill statements.
it was from her i came to know that the "imaginative story" had turned out to be a reality! i was kinda shocked and felt ashamed for being a Dhiraagu customer as well.. cos if it were to be a reality, it was doubtless that any e-bill user cud view other e-bill users' bill details.. and obviously, i dont want anyone to monitor my call details.. that was it! she hung up! i stood on my spot, speechless... with a thousand questions in mind..
i was lost.. curious about the news i just got, i rang to 123 Dhiraagu Helpdesk.. just as i had expected, the Dhiraagu music clip began playing.. it kept on playing repeatedly.. a minute passed by... i was still listening to it, waiting for one of their staff to attend my call.. minute by minute passed.. two, three, four... and during half-way through the fifth minute, i lost consciousness, and fell asleep...
Dhiraagu: Assalaam Alaikum, Dhiraagu Customer Services!
Me: hello! mee mauloomaatheh saafu kollan ingeythoa!
Me: e-bill system ah access nukurevigen miulhenee?!
Dhiraagu: e-bill ga eba ulhey ingeythoa... alhugandumennah faahaga kurevifa othee ehen vaakan...
Dhiraagu: dhen mihaaru mikolhun check kuramun gendhanee!
Dhiraagu: aslu vaagothakee Dhivehiraajje akun noon e check kuramun gendhaneekee.. LONDON in check kuramun gedhanee.. dhen miadhu Sunday veema bandhu dhuvahakah dhehthoa vaanee...
Me: aadhe!
Dhiraagu: ehenveema thankolheh lasvanee ingeythoa e!
Me: eheneveema vaahaka akee, thikolhuge massala ekey dhehthoa.. alhugandhuge eh noon dhehthoa?
Dhiraagu: aadhe! aadhe! thikolhu ge massala eh noon!
Me: kihaa thaakuthoa eythi up vaanee?
Dhiraagu: alhugandakah hiyeh nuvey miadhu vaane heneh Sunday veema, maadhamaa ge vaguthegga check kollavvaa ingeythoa!
Me: aaah ok! thank you!
Dhiraagu: welcome!
at that moment, my conscience came back into play... i was awakened. i began to think abt what just had happened.. why wud Dhiraagu just stay cool while regular users of e-bill are waiting impatiently for the system to be back online.. why cudnt have they issued a press release about the downtime of the system? why cudnt have they given a more specific answer about what had really happened? no wonder hundreds of ppl wud have known about the flaw in their system by then?! i... i.... i..... zzZ!

hello jantey.... this is really cool i wonder how long this dhiraagu dudes will take to fid there own bugs and fix them.
hehe..
dude, they had it fixed last monday, 12th december 2005.. after three days of site being unavailable and displaying a "temporarily down for maintenance" message, they finally fixed it, according to sources..
i, myself, havent messed with the "fixed system" yet!
sorry for the delay in posting this, i really couldnt spare sometime as i was pretty busy throughout the week!
cheers! :)
Aahh! The consequences of an OverActive Imagination......
Nuthin evr happend...ur frend was jus playin wit u..... U nevr actually discovered a flaw...Dhiraagu is flawless....U jus imagined evrythin...otherwise Dhiraagu wud hav issued a press release or sumthin.....or atleast made an acknowledgement....Or wud they?????
Reminds me of Asterix n Obelix cartoon...
"an the priest says: by the power of Osiris and Isis, u r a wild boar....a wild boar....a wild boar i tell u....a wild boar....."
