The X-Wala Id #atozchallenge

I am pretty sure most of us would have that one incredibly embarrassing email Id created during college or school days. My share of embarrassing ids are never-ending. In an attempt to sound all cool, hip and intriguing, I created email ids with names that would make one crawl under the blanket and never come out.

The first one ain’t that bad I guess – sinister_rajl … yeah that was my way to tell the world that I am boisterous… kickass evil 😛 Sigh!! I was so lame!!

I still use the second one but only for blogging purpose. And if you receive an email from that id I am pretty sure it would be directed into your junk folder. Why? Because it has Triple X in it.

Imagine this scenario. I was filling application for Visa and the agent asked me my email id on phone. I calmly replied,” l … u … x… x…x...”

After a long pause, he hesitantly said,”Excuse me ma’m“

It was only then did it strike me what a ridicule I had made of myself. “Yeah yeah that’s right… yes it is triple x“

The next thing I did after hanging up my phone (and my head in shame) was to create a proper email id.

In my defense, I was in college and had no idea what triple X meant or any X meant … and I couldn’t find a combination with single X or double X (all ids were taken). Now I know why the triple X remained.

Along with Claire, Parul and Shalini we have formed an Unconventional Alliance with A to Z co-host Pam Margolis as the ring leader … all set to rock the party.
