Sirop de Vanille

Note: Kindly do not judge my ability to write based on the following piece of ‘crap’, here I indulge in what they would refer to as a rant!

I have no idea why I made sure I land up on this page to type! No idea! Well… Orkut. Yes, Thank you technology and Mr. Orkut, now I can stay in touch with all my school friends and college buddies and yada yada yada…!

But HOW DO I GET RID of “FRANDSHIPS” REQUESTS!!! How?! I don’t know if this problem warrants a post, but then it’s MY BLOG so read it! What irritates me most is the approach – I saw your profile and it looks very interesting! Uhuh! For those who haven’t seen my profile – well, it is one of the shortest, most incomplete profiles ever! It tells them I am committed (as that reduced the number of sleazy requests) and that I am wherever I am. Interesting profile, my A@#!!!

The second approach – sending across these personal messages! Literal translations of typical Hindi Movie dialogues will NOT floor me! Or anyone for that matter! And then telling me how unpredictable they are – like I care?! And, that is the most predictable thing you will read on orkut – “I don’t know what to say about myself, but I am unpredictable!” UGH!
What else? I am terribly bored and have nothing to do – yes, I know you are thinking, ‘DUH!’ but what to do! I am in a new city and work starts on 31st! So, I abuse the internet connection provided to me at no extra cost by the oh so sweet house owners!

Back to bitching about Orkut – there are people stupid enough to not stop at Decline Friendship Request. They keep on sending you the same f#$%ed up message or request over and over again as if their pathetic lives depend on it. I don’t get it. What possible excitement/joy/pleasure can they get out of sitting online all the time (they re-apply or reply the minute you reject them or give them the simple No they wanted as a reply! :S) and looking at women’s profiles and sending them the same shitty message (at least use the time to be original!) ? What does one get out of it?
Reading other people’s profiles is probably like watching TV or reading Tabloids, everyone loves to look at glimpses of other poeple’s lives but insisting on becoming a part of it is slightly demented especially if rejection is something they take as a hint to try harder. Well, if any of you are reading this – No does mean NO. In EVERY situation. All those ridiculous forwards about women never saying what they mean is bullshit! The only women who are like that are the stupid ones who forward those forwards. When a girl says no, she means it. When she declines a f&^%ing friendship request she means it. And she only says everything is fine (when something is wrong) to people who matter and who are there in front of her, cause she can use the TONE to get her point across. And yes, when women say “we need to talk” its scary! just RUN! and by the way, Men say it too…

Ok, I can see Varun shaking his head and thinking WHAT THE?! I can’t help it, I haven’t slept well and I just am sick of people’s frandship offers where they want to make “life long frandship” with me by “stepping into pure pools of frandship” and are waiting for me to “put my leg forward”!
Also, I have nothing against people not being able to write correct English – no one can. That’s why MS Word was invented. But at least make some fucking sense and avoid constructing paragraphs of pure horror! which take half an hour to figure out!
It’s a piece of art, the most amazing “frandship” request ever!

friend for u….. message: Hi Sirop, i must tell u one thing dear that i m stranger to u but u also can’t get rid off frm the fact that every body near to u whom u consider yur frnd were a stranger to u on 1 particular day. isn’t it? so untill u don’t put yur leg forward to know abt something, it will always be a treasure for u. rest is on u as u must be clever enough to understand the things in life and u never know when n where it clicks and can change the meaning of yur life. i wrote these line in a general way dear. don’t take it particular for me. this is practical n one must apply this in our life fundas in the regular basis. i really wanna know u so that we can step sunk in the fragrance of the pure frndship. do response only when u agree with me or don’t. bye take care

People are strange..

Oh! I wanted to study and analyze the different stages people go through as they get thoroughly addicted to and dependent on social networking sites to lead a so called social life. The stages they go through range from voyeuristic pleasure to in all probability an obsession with certain communities and their members. But its too much to take right now! I need tea! :)
