Orkut Orkut Orkut!!!
Almost every college student will be a part of Orkut. Like every other, even I joined[After much of compelling from anantha] It seemed a new place for me. Having seen only Yahoo n rediff chat, this looked all the more exciting for me.
The scrapping i.e, going to your friends profile and leaving a mess!![which almost pissed me off now] Writing testimonials i.e, telling sweet[or sour:p] things about your friends and getting requests from a whole gamut of unknown guys!!

THIS IS ORKUT
First it seem a lil fun for me, getting to know different kinds of people - basically guys[or rather flirts] Then I started having trouble. Or rather I should say I got bored.
In the beginning, I used to login several times[Even three times a day] having pictures in album[of course mine!!] , scrapping the whole day and increasing my scrap count[hee hee:D] begging people to write testimonials, asking them to be fan.....and the silly blah blah!!
But after a few days, loads of news started coming that having pictures in album[ of You!] is leading to disastrous things such as morphing and so on...!! I Took them immediately
Next is scrap [or the CRAP thing ] thingy! Where your profile is public and everyone can read your scraps! Any guy in the ORKUT world can read what people have [commented] told you. In simple words, what ever you talk becomes public. For eg, If your friend comments that you had a bad hair today in the party, the whole world would know "you had a bad hair in the party".
Third is, innumerous[seriously] requests[FRIEND requests] from unknown guys! [as am a gal it would be other way for guys]. Am sure it wouldn't be this much of a [burden!!] As i told, in the beginning when I put my picture, I got lots of requests[Not because am beautiful or I dunno] It was such a disgusting thing, where people add you because of you beauty or whateva!
People would say "hey you look beautiful, can I be your friend"
[What the DASH]
Or "hey you have lovely dimples, add me as your friend"
[God, I can't stand this]
I then thought, may be I should remove my picture. Even after the requests still flows. I made my profile too long, so that people get bored soon and adjudge me as a boring gal in town and wouldn't send requests!! But unfortunately, it didn't happen that way.
Another guy who says, "Hey you seem interesting, went through your long profile, can we friends?"
[Bloody you know my profile is long, why did you read it!!]
I thought I should keep a Full stop for this thingy which I completely disliked. So I wrote in my profile, that if you guys don't know who am i Please don't send requests! I will be denying!
No use! Still I get requests [ But def reduced than before]
But the requests thingy is a little fun. You would get many funny requests,
Eg,
"Hey you seem interesting", "Iam so n so from so n so place, I live in a hostel, Can we be friends?"
[Crazy guy, why is he even mentioning he lives in a hostel! I never mentioned I will add guys who live in hostel]
Another guy says, "Hey can we be frds, don't ignore me saying -I won't accept strangers - After all everyone who was born was a stranger, but then we became frds only with those strangers and now we call them friends, so its like that"
[**Yawn**....**yawn**.... A request or a lecture???]
The usual requests says, "Hey am new to orkut, I want to have friends, so will you be mine?"
[You joined just to make friendship with gals or what??]
Another usual one, "Add me as your friend"
[ How demanding!!]
Before I used to add[only a few!!], that too only if its regarding a photography discussion!! I must say this.... I got real good friends, whom I added who have photography interests [ like moi]
They help me .... in the sense, gimme advice, comment and do loads!! I have to mention names of certain people - Siju(stupid idiot jobless useless - his display name!!), Chandru(Chubby chandru as he calls himself), Soundar(who always keep asking me about journalism n photography!!), Sharanya (a vis com student, where we discuss abt PG), Swathi(very interested gal in journalism, who keeps me asking stuff about it!!), Alok's cousin(oops forgot ur name !!) Who is interested in journ.... These r few gud people i remember!!
I added them, only coz of their interest towards the subject!! [ok... it doesn't mean I add every other guy now who asks me about photography or journalism;-)!!] And they were pretty decent!!
OK ..... I keep complaining about Orkut! Why am I still here then??
My reasons!
* Because I got in touch with my schoolmates.
- Like I became good pals with soyed(aka Syed), Navashee(aka Prem Navaz!), Setup srini(aka Srinivas), Pachathala(Aka harish)[Any many more school guys!!], Sruthi, Savitha, Kavya, Priya, Vani, Girisudha, Praveen(My childhood pal!), and many more!![Note:- I could rememb only few names, Pl excuse me I I'd left out a few!]. Have to say that orkut made me talk with those whom I'd never spoke with and it made me find my old pals too!
* Because certain communities are interesting!
* Because am the moderator for one community![ where we have a whole lot interesting things happening]
* Because I need to change my community name like sleeping st.john's and stuff when they don't interact and keep momming them around!!
* Because friends have written testimonials[ I get to know what they think of me] and will more!!
* Because Myself and sow[My twin soul] are always upto something! Like our new plans is to start a community for Priya mam[Our lowing english teacher!], To also start a community saying 'We had latha mam'[Our Comp Sci mam] and another one saying 'We miss Kumar G' [Our Chemistry sir, who passed away last year]
* Because we[myself, sow and domi] want to make 'First love mokka club' community a world rocking ...oops orkut rocking community and truly beleive that most of us [lowes] would be a mokkai for the first time!!
* Because my old crushes[Or what you call as puppy love] are there am trying make them notice [ME:D] Trying give them a new impression![Supposingly good:p]
* Because my sister is there, and I get immense pleasurein pulling her legs!! Shez damn cool a sister!!
* One big reason will be, Orkut is damn addicting! [I wonder even cigar n alcohol can be this addicting ! -Ok this doesn't mean I drink or smoke or doesn't mean whether you should know whether I drink or smoke!!!:D] This makes me stay in Orkut! Even when I want to delete, somehow this interests me! Dunno Y!!
Now a days I don't login much! But still I keep doing some shit in orkut! Like I told you, It's addicting!! This makes me stay!
But things like morphing, getting requests from strangers[who join themselves in 'cheesy' communities!] and terrorists and doing all sort of disastrous things scares me!
I am now, trying to be safe and little clever![which I forget to do at times:p] I rarely login or talk only with people whom I know. I am in orkut only for known friends and some unknown friends[Who were mentioned above]
But I can you one thing, If your really bored or pissed, join Orkut! It's a place for the Vetti's [one of the reasons why am still there:D]
Orkut is for the Vetti World!!
NOTE: Above written is how 'I see Orkut'!! I haven't mentioned any names according to the code of conduct and off the record information which I learnt in journalism;-) Hope this is only meant to read in the mood of enjoyment! If I had hurt anyones feeling, I apologize for the sake, It's written only to my knowledge - unintentionally;-) Oh yea one more thing, I have to mention that not all guys are like *that*, Only a few bad guys!!
