Fun is funny .. now & then!

           Not much but 6 years earlier, we never had any list of friends. Best friend concept was momentary. Exchanges of "Hi" or "wassup dude?" happened only when friends met. But today, when I sit at my desk in a state of nostalgia writing this article; 4 friend requests of friend's friend, 3 out of 7 messages of my ex flames and 12 notifications due to the shit I've been doing up this whole day on facebook, are pending. I have a friend's list, well some may be referred to as acquaintances. Talking of acquaintances, Bablooo, my roommate is an alien kind of creature who has some similar thoughts for his roommates. He was never socially very active as I guess, he couldn't find people of same wavelength around him.. ammm, OK! on the contrary, people felt the same for him. Nevertheless, those people are now in his friend's list as all share a common interest, "FACEBOOK", unlike previous times when there was nothing in common. 

            Apparently, internet has it's adverse effects. Earlier the tea shop guy, banana vendor and people like Srimadaddankithirumalavaraahavenkatathaa Ayyapaswamy (No, I bet this is not the longest name in the world, but definitely among those mighty South Indian names), Bablooo's boss, always waved at him expecting some benefits for that single hi. But sooner they were quite insistent that he adds them in his facebook account as friends [acquaintances]. He was out of options. Perhaps, now he has around 1326 friends/acquaintances. Most of his friends in online world are from sites such as www.youareanass.com, www.screwmebaby.com and other pointless internet argument forums. He has started maintaining groups so as to keep them categorized. The smallest group being " ". Well yes, he almost went for everything on the internet. He had few friends whom he didn't meet after his lower secondary school or people who stopped meeting or contacting him because .... but now they are friends on facebook. He keeps them under the group "". Well past cannot be referred to as from historical backgrounds, as we still don't have that technology. But suppose, for instance if we had, then what! Nothing much, Lord Buddha would have updated a comment, "Thinking to start a new religion!"; Jesus Christ, Muhammad, Dalai Lama and 1,445,544,555,773,033 people would like this with Lord Krishna's comment, "Thank GOD, nw I'll have sum personal tym :)". 

            His final group of acquaintances are of females, "Famme Fatale". They are sub-divided into minor groups like "My Fantasies", "Hot and Committed" and "Unbearable". Not surprising, but this group is the most attached one to him. This lad spends hours in browsing his female acquaintance's profiles, checking their pictures and relationship status. For one thing is sure that there is nothing more interesting to find hot women who recently broke up. Well of course this is sad, but then who would like to miss a chance of consoling a good, charming, sweet, astonishing, outrageous,seductive, hot wench. 

             Well, internet is indeed a source of unlimited ecstasies for most of the people around us definitely not unlike Babloo. Perhaps, I am sure of one thing. If social networking and Bablooo would not have existed, then there was still a lot for me to browse and research for. Like Megan Fox, Tim Kardashian, Sunny Leone, Blake Lively etc. Lolz .. :)
