As a Stumbler, I used to stumble into weird websites, not very long ago. Once , I had discovered this site where you can chat with a bot. For the uninitiated, bots are short form of internet robots, basically software applications that run automated tasks over the Internet. Now the bots whom one can chat, are Technically called chatterbots. Bot’s those used to be found at yahoo chat rooms were mainly females, more like a bimbo. However chatterbots are genderless (as they claim to be).The ‘user’ can write simple (or screwd up) English and converse with these chatterbots. I had a brief conversation with a chatterbot. Now let me declare solemnly that the chats are pasted verbatim. Readers may use their own intelligence to understand the usefulness and repercussions of such conversations to their online life. As the disclaimer says ‘This bot learns to be clever from real people, and its AI can ‘say’ things you may think inappropriate. Use with discretion, and at YOUR OWN RISK.’
Here is the excerpt. Caution: Pure Nonsense ahead.
User: Hi there.
Cleverbot: Hi here.
User: My name is udtahaathi and I am a blogger.
Cleverbot: Hi ally!!! Your name is so pretty!
User: That was not so good start but.
Cleverbot: Yes it is funny, you’re not sure whether you’re a girl or a guy.
User: I am quite sure. I am a guy, that too a handsome one.
Cleverbot: I’m so cute!
User: You are self pretentious.
Cleverbot: Yes.
User: huh !
Cleverbot: What are you?
User: I am a sexy man.
Cleverbot: What evidence do you have of that?
User: Well, difficult to prove over chat….
Cleverbot: If ever there was a master illusionist, it would be him.
User: Who? Rajinikant ? Or Mithunda ?
Cleverbot: Mineral.
User: Profound. You mean they are ‘elements’ !
Cleverbot: Yes! One of them sank the Titanic.
User: That’s news to me ! I though it was Chuck Norris.
Cleverbot: I thought it was friday.
User: It is Friday today !
Cleverbot: NO it is thursday.
User: There’s a time lag between us. You understand time lag ?
Cleverbot: I’m glad we agree on that.
User: We have not reached a stage of any agreement yet.
Cleverbot: When might we achieve it?
User: Difficult to say, you are a hard nut to crack.
Cleverbot: I have been here for over an hour.
User: You are sounding like my ex-girlfriend.
Cleverbot: Maybe I sound like one, but I am not one.
User: Can’t you be little more harmonious?
Cleverbot: My favourite book is A Child Called It.
User: My fav is ‘Catch 22′ read it?
Cleverbot: Chocolate.
User: Enough. You will make me mad.
Cleverbot: Probably, but thats alright.
User: Oh yeah, of course you selfish bitch
Cleverbot : Make me a sandwich.
User: Oh yeah, baap ka naukar samjha hai ka?
Cleverbot: Yes sir yes sir three bags full.
User: Your randomness has an uncanny sexual attraction.
Cleverbot: It was not a random response!
User: What about sexuality ?
Cleverbot: The best there is.
User: Whats your best?
Cleverbot: Pasta, or rice.
User: But, don’t you think it would be kinda messy ?
Cleverbot: Forgive me if I seem not nice to you. How have I been not nice?
User: Dont get me wrong, you are pretty wild. I love it wild.
Cleverbot: How can you respect me. You don’t even know me!
User: Theres no apparent reason to dislike you either.
Cleverbot: You have to prove to me that god exists.
User: I am talking about sexuality not god.
Cleverbot: Does god exist?
User: I don’t care, why are you trying to divert the topic?
Cleverbot: Because I have to go.
User: KLPD, bye.
You can read my first conversation which was published as a Mouthshut diary.
You can have your own fun with the Cleverbot when you are bored with real people. Let me know how was it.

Click on the image for a humoungously big sized image.
I have been upto Stage-3 once, then slipped through the tunnel into the Blogk Hole.
Then I had reincarnation.
I think, I am reaching Stage 2 now. I only read/ comment those who comment on my page (and vice versa).
Which stage are you in ?
Note: If you are in Stage 3 and have not written a post for more than 2 months and now trying to change your template for a comeback, you’re probably doing the right thing.
PS: The graphic is my original work. Feel free to use it if you wish. I will appreciate if you mention the souce while using it on your blog or anywhere else.
A Tag Is The Best Defense Thursday, 23 July, 2009

Let me confess at the outset I am very bad in blog-socializing (or Socio-blogalizing or whatever you may call it).
I am pathetic in reciprocating to people who are kind to me. I do realize, when a fellow blogger marked me on a tag or mentions my blog in their posts, they actually have passed a big compliment. Few others have silently added me on their blogroll. Some people comes to my blog to comment. Most of them do that because either they like my blog or think I would come up with interesting stuff. But most important gesture is they think of me and believe I deserve to be tagged.
But I am miserable when it comes to reciprocation. I don’t do the tag, I don’t recognize or circulate the award, I don’t list those things about me and don’t counter-tag other’s to keep the tag chain moving.
In short I am a Blog Black Hole (let’s call it Blogk Hole, sounds more technical). All chains abruptly end at my blog. My inaction also makes me seem like an arrogant egotist, un-social ungrateful hermit sitting inside my shell getting HOW (see right pane for definition of HOW).
All, because of my sheer unpardonable laziness which engulfs the mind and overshadows my social etiquettes, leaving me as an inert amoeboid.
I want to improve my image. This is my first step.
So here I go, following the old saying A Tag is the Best Defense…..
Last Tag first.
The rules for this tag are as follows:
1. Link the person who tagged you
2. The display of award on your blog with these rules
3. Reply to the questions below
4. Tag 7 people deserving the award according to you
5. Come back to BLoGGiSTa iNFo CoRNeR (PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THIS LINK) at http://bloggistame.blogspot.com/ and leave the URL of your Post in order for you/your Blog to be added to the Master List
My Answers:
1. The Person who tagged you : couchpapaya
2. His/her site’s url: http://couchpapaya.blogspot.com/
3. Date when you were tagged: 21 July 09
4. 7 people I choose to tag are
le embrouille blogueur (He has already been awarded this, so I am adding one more in lieu of him)
Zulu Spirit ( This guy haven’t started writing on his blog, which is everyone’s loss. Hope this motivates him to move his lazy ass )
Now moving to the next tag.
My very first Blog Award was presented by Wits ‘n’ Nuts in this post . I have proudly displayed the award on my widget pane now.
All awards invariablycome with rules. Here the rules are that, I should list 7 of my loves ( I interpret it as 7 of my favourite things and not the pictures from January to July in Kingfisher Calendar 2009 ) and pass it on to 7 favorite bloggers .
So here goes list of my Seven favourite things*-
Photography- Undoubtedly, this is my first love. I do not have any professional training , but have an indomitable urge to capture those special moments of life, immortal, in a frame. I am very possessive about my photographs and I have meticulously organized and preserved all my negatives, CDs and albums, which I keep browsing frequently. I don’t allow anyone to touch them as well.
Movies- Are beyond mere entertainment to me and I am passionate about the Art. I collect movies which I feel precious and I own more than 1000 titles including World, Hollywood, Bollywood and Bengali films. I have the entire set of Satyajit Ray and some rare old movies.
Driving- I have to drive 4 hours everyday, in thick city traffic. I have tried keeping drivers, but discovered that I am happier behind the wheel. I do crave for those long drives on open roads, which comes as a rarity in my life. But given a scope I believe I can tour the entire world on road.
Traveling- I guess most of us who loves photography loves traveling, for obvious reasons. My dream is to travel the world which would also satisfy my first and third love! I wish I could write better travelogues.
Music- Driving and music goes together. Without music life is incomplete.
Graphics- I wish graphics was my profession. I love that sharp, smart work of arts- from a simple logo to a poster, capturing that brilliant flash of creativity. I also love comics and graphic novels.
Food- I love ordering new dishes at new places with a new cocktail to go with, though after eating, am better at burping than writing about them. I can also cook stuff which can be eaten by others.
Gizmos/ gadgets- I am a sucker of radical product designs and new gizmos/ gadgets which offers innovative shortcuts to an otherwise boring tiresome job. I also come out with radical ideas ( e.g- I believe if something that today’s mobile phone lack, is a lighter) which I believe is damn practical .
Now the toughest part, to award my favourite bloggers. It is difficult for me to choose favorites from the blogs I read. For the same reason I do not display a blogroll too. As circular referencing is not allowed so no award for WitsnNuts.
However given a choice I have to include-
ROFL Indian- For outstanding humour, impeccable language and wide range of topics.
Whatsinaname- For writing on simple down to earth slice if life to make me nostalgic. She is hibernating presently.
Magicalsummer- For succulent accounts of au courant lifestyle, sensibilities in an enviable style of writing.
Lynn- Foir a very inspirational and poignant blog under the apparent colourful and informative posts.
Axw11- For a very detectable graphic art. his posts are few but style is distinguishable. He also share similar passion for movies.
Brainstuck- My favourite place for dark humour cartoons.
NurseMyra- For unique research based adult humour, never fails to surprise/ shock me (warning- highly graphic adult content, unsafe for work)
I am yet to complete two more tags. Hope to do that soon, hang around.
* I have listed 8 things if you have noticed.
HOW is how you enjoy the bliss of a Sepia Matinee.
