ORKUT

"i was born intelligent but orkut ruined my life","millions of young people become net addict","many kids in china are given military training to overcome their net addiction". i wondered many times how is this possible till orkut became oxygen of my life and later carbon mono oxide too. this is for all those young people who believe in a pseudo life called net life, outsourcing their life to find love, happiness and life never realizing that this social website is making them anti social.

there are many stories i have seen, of my course mates as well as my own. for me it started with swades. miss perfect was there, but i could never get her through arrange marriage. so it required a "search", very tough one actually.

it was after our phase 1. studies were nearly a burden so evening time was gali cricket, gossip with friends . when suddenly came the devil -internet, well there were lot of stories already in the air to seduce all youngsters and very soon the roads which were full of chattering were empty and the only sounds were of yahoo msg "ding". then pappu bhai opened the pandora box , he introduced us to the great world of orkut. from starting only it required great commitment as signing up only took days and after that also it used to test our core patience whenever we opened it. but the motivation was big and soon it was the topic of discussion of everywhere.

it was a different world altogether.the advantage as well as disadvantage of net is u can say anything , declare anything, do anyhting. for introverts its a world to open up their personality . even i was mesmerized and i found the source to complete my search. the class time used to be about stories of orkut and eve time to do some work upon it. soon the most"bhola" chap became freako and he was our tutuor, with classes how to send friend reqt , how to write 1st scrap so that there is 100% reply assurance , what to do after that and so on . people used to check each others "about me" and it was a big ho hollah pulling each others leg. and if there is any gals scrap then u had it in class,obviously till it became a routine.

well the first reply -wah what a feeling , then some mails then more frnd reqt ,some accepted some rejected. the world has changed for many of us. there are hell lot of people with different types of personality on net with 95% doing time pass. the effect which MTV culture has casted on our mind , net is the means to realize it individually.but what we dont realize is its addication and effect on our personality. the effects are great and generally not good. we give it the most imp commodity of our life our time and in return get time pass which again is a wastage of our life.
it leads to various expectations which are so easily possible on net but not in actual world .

whatever then soon started a new word associated with net-"bored". it was a very tedious exercise , but my determination was great to find my search. first u have to introduce urself , then confirm that u r an authentic good guy. then ask for yahoo msg id then pic then phone no. and at every stage there will be some much nakhra uff as if they r some princess and u r an ass though finally it used to be otherwise. i m a very egoistic person and it was really a pain for me atleast. and at then end of this tedious exercise u will find "she is not what u thought".well many of my friends changed due to orkut. one bhaisahab had 17 "active" gfs at a time , and it really required a lot of time management to handle all of them together.

then comes the dreaded word "love". at least some were trying to find this word on orkut. i was too scared of this word and so kept myself restricted to search business only.but again problem with net is, u can switch it on any time introduce urself to people find out about them and make frnds and when bored equally easily say bye to them switch it off and back to normal without realizing it may have a disastrous effect on others psychology , he may have developed various expectations from u and seeing ur odd, changed behavior they may be shocked. but u r very far to realize all that.again i read in a blog of a gal that" problem with love is if u go and say to a preson that u love him he will never feel he loves u and if any guy comes to u and says he loves u , u will not feel u love him."and this problem is even more magnified on net. and thats true becoz in net u dont even meet the other person . just by talking u start developing expectations while for the other person its just "felt good talking to u".
then it exerts a psychological pressure on people to look good , cool so that they can also boast among friends and "feel good" about it.without realizing that its confidence , personality and knowledge of a person which makes him better then others not his looks. but welcome to the world of capitalization u cant escape it in present Indian environment.

and thats why google added gtalk to orkut . soon it was a big addiction. just after some time , "chalo lets check our scraps". "lets see if someone is online',"lets chat for sometime" and soon that sometime will consume your long hours which u could have used for ur improvement.

then whats the final result u get? does orkut gives a long lasting friendship, love, life partner, or time pass or time wastage? well lets see life partner first: i dont think u can decide upon 1 person so easily by finding her on orkut. the reason is u have so much choices that u will keep expecting something better may come.and actually there is nothing called perfect in this world there are no gita of swades in India. well that bhola chap has already left orkut and will go for arrange marriage.

next is love as already told , if u say i love u to 1 person she will never have that feeling for u . and if somebody else says i love u to u u will feel her "just as a friend yar". ok u may say so what i will have that nice feeling for some time at least. then please notice that when u r having that nice feeling u r wasting ur time and when u r regretting after that again u r wasting ur time . so...
last is friendship. well as Chankya said "the bitter truth is behind every friendship there is some selfish motive". why net friendship has become so popular? because in this busy lonely world everyone wants someone special close with whom they can share their views their daily life , etc etc but again i came to the conclusion keep this sharing to yourself or if u want more make god ur friend tell him everything and take advice from him . this way actually u r listening to ur self consciousness which gives u best advice.

so then what does orkut gave me after spending 2 imp years of my life into it. i cant see anything clearly may be shayad some insight into human nature , some confidence, etc etc but the time i paid for it was too much , "orkut is not so worth it yar" and this is from EX - OK(Orkut King as my frnds used to call me)..:)
well now its up to u :
