After a night of wake(my most hectic night duty till date)was pleased to notice that I was a witness to the first fog of the season,not the
maybe kind nor the 100 crashed vehicles kind,actually just the right kind. I m a 'cold' guy(mom calls me cold b
looded,much immune to my protests and sermons) and firsts always have an attraction like the first girlfriend,cell,watch and all important the first f***. As I picked up my cellphone camera to capture the moment,a blinking low battery light reminded me that that I had for the umpteenth time promised to reduce orkutting(neologism) and failed to keep up. Stirring up the statistics,I came to know that was one of 10,000 daily visitors to Orkut,a number which is a third of Facebook (phew...). Now please don't say you heard it before,at least let me write what I want on my blog.With that bewildering info along with the crap you pick up in IOC hospital(like the nursing school has prayers at 5:30 AM,I had visions of Auswitch),returned home and pondered about why do I go about Orkutting,fanning and being party to the wars for most friends,fans,scraps,testimonials and what not. Like one of my learned friend said,guys find new gals to f*** and gals find new hope on orkut. I find it a little different,seems our tribal customs of herding
and competition are getting unleashed,albeit in a civil way,collecting friends as collectibles or maybe tribe members. Seems like an anodyne to our broken social life where I don't remember talking to my father for 1 hour straight. God knows why I or for that matter one else wastes such a hell lot of time socialising when better options exist. I know quite a lot of guys who plucked the cherry thanks to social networking and now are having a hard time coming out of the net and the girl. Are we going slave to the new age socialising or is it just an outlet of our more ancient part of brain. I don't know but seriously care for my friends post scrap more than meet me,ditto for me. As said earlier my little cradle and me,are opening up but don't know if this is right but as Scarlett O' Hara,I won't think about it today,I'll think about it some other day when it won't feel so bad. More about that later,now let me send a friend request to that hot babe I just searched out......
