Some Random Thoughts..
Just a place to put some random thoughts..

Today morning I got up, got ready. I usually lock bedroom doors so that cook who comes in the evening has access only to the kitchen. As usual I locked the door only to realize that I locked the keys inside! My roommate has another set of keys. He gave it to me when he left for US. And these keys were safe(!?) inside my cupboard. All these things flashed infront of my eyes as soon as I locked the door. I asked the neighbour if the landlord has given him the keys to the bedroom and got a negetive response. He told me that only landlord has one set of keys. The problem was my landlord/landlady they stay in Hyderabad. I also asked the security guy but even he dint have the keys.

Now only option was to go to a keymaker and get him to unlock the door. I went to a keymaker I know from a couple of days back when my friend had to get a key duplicated. He said it could be done. We came back to the house. There were three of them. They entered the house, saw the lock, put a key inside, removed it, hammered it a little, put it inside again, twisted it a couple of time and WOW!!!! They opened the door in less than a minute. That was just unbelievable. By then, my paranoid mind was thinking about all the possible thing these guys could do now that they know where I live. No lock would be too good for them. Just like any computer system can be hacked, any door can be unlocked.

So much for the security!
