8th of May 2006 ; shall go down in the books of my Personal History as the day, I was smitten to the OAS (Orkut Addiction Syndrome)… The Reasons for Joining are Varied so are my Excuses to Stay on ! Inspite of so many other Community Sites coming up like Wildfire namely Gazzag,blah,blah,blah.com……but i still Stuck on !!!
One aspect that struck me like a bolt of Lightning was the fact that i could connect to all my Ex-Girlfrenz notice the Wicked Smile …I Spent sleepless nights trying to search for long lost frenz(Assuming i could increase my Frenz list, who would directly corelate to a spurt in the Fans Count on my Profile…Damn it doesnt work that way)
On a more serious note, i did realise, Orkut was THE PLATFORM, where i could meet my Frens, long lost and also the ones, whom i said “Get Lost”, long time back”…i guess thats the Very IRONY of Life !
And now, ORKUT is like a Mantra Everywhere!! Bangalore times documents how it functions, NDTV does a Documentary on what the Orkut Phenomena is all about…if you really want to see what an epidemic Orkut is, Type “I Love Orkut” in google and be ready to be Shaken & Stirred away with the Results…..
There is a Very Good Fren of Mine, who supposedly did OT every single day until like last month…why only until last month ????? Cos his Company Blocked Orkut !!and he could no Longer give in OT(Orkut Time)….He is currently in “Activity Depression”…he refuses to be indulge in any form of Exercise…other than the Exercise…and that act of Refusal is directing impending Waist Line !!
Documenting the histrionics of yet another Spectacular species, who happens to be a Fren of mine, Shifted Jobs only cos they banned Orkut at her workplace and she couldnt do with out it….This aint a Joke…Just for the Record, she Exists…Funny Aint it??? i mean not abt her Existence but the Phenomena called ORKUT.
I guess 70’s gave us, the Hippie Culture, Well, we the people of this Generation can be proud of ourselves too, cos look what we ended up giving ourselves and the generations to come, the ORKUT Culture..Well will that be a Disgrace/Pride, telling our kids(if i live that long, that is !!)..tryin to imagine what the conversation would go Like :
Son : Papa, Tell me something about your Days??????
Me : Son, those were the days of Glory, when we spent our Days of Summer on the Internet, Scrapped our frenz and when they didnt scrap back, we called them up and asked, what thier problem was in scrapping back ?
Son : That Sounds so Interesting Pa…(Knowing my Son, im quite sure, he would be full of Sarcasm as well)
Son : So how did u meet Ma? ( I was expecting that from my Son, i m quite sure, he is gonna try this one on as well…Remember : Orkut would be an Obsolete Trend, like we find Sex, Drugs and Rock n ROll….Un-do Remember for the Words in Bold Italics, they will never go Outta Fashion)
Me : Your Ma, Came & Checked onto my Profile and I found her in my Visitors list…so in reciprocation, i went and Checked her Profile..I found her Good Looking, so i added her to my Crush List & Frenz List as well…Then for Sometime, nothing Happened..i was too Egoistic to scrap her. and your Mom, the Arrogant Self that she is didnt Bother Scrapping as well….
Son : Then ….!!!????
Me : Then, what !! Some Nonsensical Fren sent her this Spam Mail, which Said “Do this and find out who has added you to thier CRUSH LIST”
Son : So did it work???? !!!
Me : No !!!! Like all the other Spam Chain Mails, this didnt as well(Thank Gos !)…Then one fine day, i let go of all my inhibitions and I Scrapped…and we started Talking and then we Fan’ned each other and then one day we got married and after some days you came in as a “Private Message” in to our Personal eMail Account !
Son : So i came from ORKUT !!!!!!!!! :)) was i delivered in a Mail Box and now by a Stork !
Me : Thats a Story for another day, another Blog Beta!!

Finally, Before i hit the Sack , a Question for you to Ponder about ::::
Out of 6,574,666,417 People in this world, with 1,093,529,692 using the Internet(Basic Services like email)….That makes it 16% of the World Uses Internet and out which 43,227,179 are on orkut ! That makes it 4 % of the whole population of the Basic to Advanced Internet Users.. So i m quite sure, God would qualify to have an Internet email account atleast..well if he does, then there are 1 isto 25 Probability chances that GOD has logged onto Orkut !!!
Search not within your Hearts but in Orkut and all you know, you may just find him !!
Keep the Search On !
Has God Logged onto ORKUT?
