Praveen’s Magic Quill

I was a lying in my bed finding it difficult to sleep, especially after all those rumors about my DOJ getting postponed and stuff that was circulating in the past 24 hrs .Now it’s clear though, I am still joining on June 2^nd for sure! The previous information was supposed to be only for students placed in Vel Tech, but as usual, everyone had started to panic.

Now, as I was in a condition of half awake and half asleep, my brother shoved something (at first sleepy glance looked like a letter) to one of my hands and said “You have got a postcard from USA da! Looks like it’s from Google!” But barely had he completed the sentence I had almost drifted away to some proper solid sleep and thus the last few words did not actually go inside my ears.

An hour later, I woke up and the first think I noticed was the postcard that was slightly crumpled under my pillow. On one side of the card was printed GOOGLE in its trademark font and colors and a seal. My mind started racing as to what made Google send me a mail? Has it by any chance got to do with Orkut?

I flipped to the other side and found neatly printed “Google AdSense Support”. Yet, I failed to understand what this is all about! My account has barely reached 15 dollars! So, there is no chance of a payout. So, I just went on, ripped of the 3 seals at three sides and silently read the body of the mail.

That’s when I realized that this is a part of their strict procedure to verify the ad publisher’s authenticity and the correctness of the Contact Address given. They had sent me a 6 digit PIN that I had to enter somewhere inside my account.

Phew! For a moment I thought that Google had sent something special to me, probably to invite me for a party or probably for a job at Google Services! Don’t blame me for it, as you can see, I was too sleepy to clearly think of anything!
