Long time…
For patrons who, despite my sloth or rather inability to add any new posts, continued to visit by Blog… I promise to be more regular in enriching your lives with my little tales of sorrow…
… It’s been 2 long months since I used my numb fingers to key in anything on this Blog. It was due to the new phenomenon that predominantly gripped the software junta, Orkutting. Am not sure whether I am the first person to coin this word but yeah, I am sure that it’s pretty much engraved on every young person’s mind. If you are someone who haven’t heard about it then may be you should get your Carbon Dating done… Who knows you just might be older than what you think you are!!!
I really don’t relish dissecting behavior of the masses but this one aspect seems pretty obscure, why is there a sudden surge in the interest of people in Orkut? Do we see a pattern emerging? Or it is just a mass hysteria? As I was told by a psychologist, most of the humans’ feelings can be attributed to Hormones, and so does this sudden desire to display one’s personality and know about others … Now, it’s a matter of debate on which one of the hormones is causing this imbalance. From my observation I understand that it has got something to do with an amalgamation of adrenalin and estrogen/ testosterone … Well the basis, as one might ask, is my observation…
Most scraps, sparing those serious/personal ones who for all I know shouldn’t be on the scrap book at all, can be classified in to 2 categories…
1) Hey, What’s up? Types…
Very informative, the response to these scraps can be of specific interest of Stalkers…. My personal favorite.
2) Can you be my dear friend? Types…
Hilarious… It clearly displays how some people can completely kill their ego and conscience to get to the opposite (or in some cases same) sex.
“hey, we were born in the same year, can we be friends?’, “Hi, We share the same last name, can we be friends?” and this is the clincher, “Hi, There are many ships, but the best ship is Friendship… Will you be my friend?”
I believe that what you score on your scrap book or your friend/ fan list is directly proportional to the quality of your photograph… People don’t seem to give a darn about the person behind it; all they need is a photograph which is appealing. So, what does one do when he realizes that he’s not an Orkutable (read as Marketable) material. Simple, he/she either changes the photograph to one of a good looking person’s. The key here is to select a person who is both disturbingly good looking yet not very well-known.
And if you have to please someone with your (pretentious) sweet words, Orkut provides for it too… through the testimonials. Of the 100s of profiles I have been through not one person had to say a bad thing about his/her friend. Well, even if they did, they usually kept it well hidden under the creamy layer of ostentatious praises…
If you’ve started thinking that I am completely digressed… May be I am, Courtesy Orkut!

On a serious note I found scores of old classmates on Orkut and of-course a few more found me ;)
Red E... Sad that things turned out this way for you man...

Or should i rather write a testi*l* for u ;) or maybe become ur fan... wot sayz???
Hmmm on a serious note i have found scores of long lost classmates on Orkut, and of-course a few of them found me too :p
For the record, I do enjoy a great fan following already on Orkut thanks to my above-average looks and decent attitude... Well, I guess I am not being very modest here :)...
N e ways, Orkut can be considered as the best thing to have happend in the Internet after the invention of Web-based mail but it surely is eating up valuable time of lot of creative individuals... Me not spared either :)
