The following is a real conversation I had yesterday with Mr. X (who will remain nameless to save him public embarrassment :-)) over Facebook chat and SMS.<\/p>\n

I was sitting at my computer, and suddenly, without any warning or context, the following facebook chat message from Mr. X to me popped up:<\/p>\n

\n

why dont u die
\nwe dont want you here
\nnobody
\njust go<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now Mr. X is a pretty sober, and mature, Pune entrepreneur, so I instantly realized something was wrong. Assuming that his Facebook account had gotten hacked, I sent him SMS, and the following exchange ensued:<\/p>\n

\n

Navin to Mr. X: Did your facebook account get hacked?<\/p>\n

Mr. X to Navin: No why?<\/p>\n

Navin to Mr. X: Chat message you are sending me right now: why dont u die. we dont want you here. nobody. just go.<\/p>\n

Mr. X to Navin: Jeez that was for my friend sorry haha<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And on Facebook he typed:<\/p>\n

\n

Arre sorry
\nWrong window<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Abu walked past my computer when all of this was happening, and he saw the first facebook chat message from Mr. X to me.<\/p>\n

\n

Abu: Did somebody write that to you on Facebook?<\/p>\n

Navin: Yes, Abu<\/p>\n

Abu (with frown lines on his forehead): But why would somebody tell you “why dont u die.”? You are the best dad in the world.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thank you, Mr. X, for creating this opportunity!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
