#RangChaddiDa

08th January, 2010.
Sitting before this KNOWLEDGE BANK aka COMPUTER; with Network Connections enabled, while I was twittering I saw something trending up. It was for a good cause though; The Breast Cancer Awareness.
So, obviously it was for girls; except a few gynecomastic bodybuilders. I was more amazed to see even boys taking interest in the same. I am an example and not any exception.
That made me think for a while: Why should Girls have all the fun? AND THEN, the trend started.
I planned out something kewl and trendy to begin with, came up with #RangChaddiDa.

Rang = Color.
Chaddi = Underwear.
Da = of.
RangChaddiDa = Color Of Underwear.

Many of my friends inspired to begin with the same, special credit goes to @aagan21 and @AmolMathur. And, then that just skyrocketed.
It was now BOYS taking over this color thing, and revealing their underwear's color. NO, SERIOUSLY. Thats true.
We planned to emphasize more on this, not only to have fun... But, also for Prostate Cancer Awareness.
Yes, absolutely. Prostate Cancer Awareness.
We made it happen.
It was soon a trending topic, though, not global trend... But, atleast it was a national trend.
Proof: 90di - What is India Thinking Today. HOT TOPICS OF THE DAY ON 09/Jan/2010
It could have turned global, but, damn... on 09th January, 2010; around 3 AM, there was Twitter's "Fail Whale" who interrupted all of us. And, that readily declined the number of active tweeps [or, people in twitter]. Just because of that, we faced rumblers. Activity decreased. And, finally... we were off the list.
But, in the national twitter scenario, it is still THE TRENDING TOPIC. As of 09th January 2010, it was.
And, I suppose; it will be one of its kind DAILY HASHTAG-able hashtag.
Thanks a tonne for your awesome support, chaddi buddies.

SHAHRUKH KHAN, YES!!!
Even Shahrukh Khan did that for us.
Just like other celebrities, Shahrukh Khan was called for his support through twitter. Minutes later, he DID IT for us guys. He uploaded his Profile Picture on his twitter account: @iamsrk.
He not only showed us the color, but also updated us with his brand. He wears a D&G.
BTW, he hesitated a bit for sharing our hashtag #RangChaddiDa
Anyways, THANKS SHAHRUKH for your awesome-pawsome support.

Twitter Status Proof:

All about LOCKERZ...

For those of you asking, WHAT IS LOCKERZ ALL ABOUT?
Here is their OFFICIAL FAQ REPLICA.

Posting it, as it was--->
Check this out.
Hope this clears all of your doubts...

1. What is Lockerz?
Lockerz is an invitation-only worldwide community where members can find entertainment, shopping and a full social network all on one website. Members are rewarded for almost everything they do on the site--whether it's buying a cool new brand, watching a video, playing a game, answering a daily question or even just logging in. At launch, Lockerz will have more than 15 ways for members to earn PTZ.

2. What types of products can be purchased at Lockerz?
We’ve partnered with thousands of the best brands and stores to bring you the latest and greatest in every category – electronics, designer gear, stylish accessories, sports equipment and more. Members will soon be able to purchase digital assets such as music, videos, art, and decals.


3. What can you do with PTZ on Lockerz?
PTZ can be used only on www.Lockerz.com right now for free prizes in PTZ Place, for entering amazing sweepstakes as many times as you want in the same contest, and for charity donations. After launch, PTZ may be used for amazing discounts on items for sale, free shipping, VIP experiences across the globe as well as free prizes and charity donations in PTZ Place.

4. Why is Lockerz giving away prizes at low levels on PTZ Place?
We set PTZ very low to thank our earliest members for helping us build the site. Beginning December 1, PTZ values will increase by 4x on average although there will be many more ways to earn PTZ than ever before. Even with the PTZ increase, prizes will still be very attainable for the active Lockerz member.

5. What does “More Soon” mean?
We are working to get you more products in PTZ Place because the overwhelming early response to Lockerz blew right through our inventory. We will re-stock PTZ Place on a periodic basis.

6. When is the next "restock" happening?
Due to huge traffic issues from our last redemption, we are no longer pre-announcing re-stock dates. However, we can say that the next redemption event will be limited to Z-list members and will occur in November. There will be a general membership redemption before the end of November as well. We will announce redemptions on the morning of the event on the Lockerz Hallway only.

7. Does Lockerz ship internationally?
Yes. Keep in mind that you will be responsible for any incoming taxes or duties into your country if your country does not deem a free prize as a gift. Check out this link to better understand what duties and taxes you might have to pay:
http://fedex.com/us/international/irc/profiles/?link=2
. If you are in Brazil, we are working to find a distribution partner to help us reduce or even eliminate any tax/duty penalties.

8. When will I get my shipment (i.e, Redeemed PTZ Place prize, Purchased Order, Z-List t-shirt)?
Please allow two weeks for delivery in the U.S., 14-21 days outside of the U.S.

9. How many accounts can I have?
Members are entitled to one account per person. Each person within a household can have their own account.

10. How will Lockerz make money?
Starting later this fall, you will be able to purchase products at Lockerz. But don’t worry, PTZ Place will still be around, with way more prizes and experiences. Members will be able to earn PTZ every time they buy, watch, play, share, invite friends, or simply show up on Lockerz. PTZ will be redeemable for both products and experiences.

11. When will Lockerz launch?
Lockerz is launching in stages. PTZ Place, Lockerz’ Prize Redemption Center, is now live. Other components will be launched soon. The complete site will be launched later this fall.

12. What kind of dog is Odyss?
Thanks for asking! He’s a Norwich terrier.
