If you are too lazy, then this is what his profile says:
Hi, I'm Rabi. 24-year old Introverted Homo Sapiens of the Masculine sub-species; Cerebrum gorges on the food-for-thought served by Franz Kafka & Gabriel Garcia Marquez.; Tympanic Membrane flaps in Pachydermian delight at the lilting sounds of Pink Floyd, Doors and Suman Chatorjee; Pet peeves include Capitalism, Communalism and Commercialism of Quizzing.
"Fine Words! I wonder where you stole them?" so said, Jonathan Swift. I guess you are one of those "we all came too late in the world to produce anything new" believers. Inspired by Kaavya, eh?
We all have heard about articles being copied and music being plagiarised. I have even seen questions that I post on certain quizzing yahoogroups being reproduced verbatim at other college quizzes. And that too being directed at me. But, what kind of a freeloader could 'internalise' PROFILE DETAILS???
I can curse you....I can abuse you...I can beat the shit out of you in cyberspace...but all I choose to do is ask you a simple question...Why, Rabi? Why?

Update (01/08/2006): Rabi has sent the following scraps -
Rabi Sankar Saha: Hi Dhananjay...Couldn't think that wld meet u in orkut....Such a way.....Sorry, for copying ur profile....Was feeling lazy to write anything...The time I made my profile....Don't worry dude I'll remove it soon....Hope I'm able to make u understand...
Rabi Sankar Saha: Dude...Don't worry...I have removed it...It was 'momentary lapse of reason'....Didn't want to be another Anu Mallik or Kaavya Viswanathan..... .....

Fcuk dude....you should ask this question in his scrap - and post a link of this blog out there.
Its real shame to know that the guy is from Kolkata...my hometown and my current living place.
I should blog about this myself....real shameful!
yeah...its a shame!! And you know what? I scrapped him this morning na? he deleted it...obviously!!
Neways, scrapped him again...I just hate this kinda thing....
same reaction - What the fuck ? Can't this dude write 2 lines about himself . What amazes me is this guy still retains the same " about me " part even after surya scrapping him.
Why cant you be wrong my friend? Why cant his writing be original and yours could be a copy? I know neither of you..... but thought would just throw up a question to see how you respond.
Hey Dhananjay, How intelligent of Anonymous to have mentioned this 'pertinent point.' I mean, we never thought about the possibility of YOU copying HIS profile! :-)
Hmm...So, keeping in mind the fact that his blog was created sumwhere around 4/4/2006 and you wrote your first post on 28/9/2005 (and your profile just a little later) you certainly could have copied it....How AMAZINGLY STRANGE IS THAT!! :-) :-)
May we know How YOU (or anyone) Can ever manage that???
PATHETIC!!! If it wud have been done by an illiterate, ignorant wannabe, it wud have been still ok though not right (obviously)... but some1 like Rabi whos known in quizzing circles as being a good quizzer... can't quite comprehend it!
@ Anonymous - I hope you have read the Update. That settles it, right???
@ Rest All - Thanks a ton.
Dude, you finally posted!! where R u btw? not a word from u these days...wonder what business plans u r hatching.....
The first time i read ur profile i was soo amazed that i made it a point to show ur blog to all my friends.
May be you should think abt copyrighting it..hehehe
Incidentally...i did a quick google on "pachydermian delights" and guess what i found one more guy who did the same for his profile.
Maybe the copyright thing isnt such a joke afterall!! hehehe
Regards,
Sujeet

Absolutely agreed! If the guy cant write 2 lines bout himself, then he doesnt belong to Orkut. I mean, if u dont hav the guts and/or brains to write some shit bout urself, then what the heck! Even if u come up with mediocre shit, stick to it, coz thats way more dignified than someone's stolen creativity.
Hey! This is a really cool site!! Traveling is sooo cool especially if it’s to exotic locations..The coolest part is getting the best bargains on flights around the world... I found this really neat online fare consolidator called Cfares, that I use regularly.. check out the link at :
http://cfares.regalix.com/cfares/cfares/index.jsp?channel=blpo1&adgroup=sanityunstuck.blogspot
Tell all ur friends and colleagues in the US. Awesome prices if ur flying anywhere in the world..and it’s really useful, if ur flying from the US to China, South East Asia and Europe…hope this helps!! The Gold membership is free, and the deals are really good.. They have a platinum membership too, but I think that’s paid.. not really sure, but you get much better deals than the gold membership.
Cheers
how did u find out that he copied it?
Well I've also used one of the quotes you use in ur mails but mentioned it. The link is - http://shubhojit1176.blogspot.com/2007/03/god-is-either-abstraction-or-failed.html
Neway, you have all types of people in this world. You just keep fighting and getting the right things.
