Dedicated to ME! ЁЯЩВ

 

тАЬkaun kambaqt networking ke liye facebook par jaata haiтАж hum to jaate ki bas kuch dost bana sakeтАжтАЭ

 

The home page of the  facebook account is such an apt nameтАж Not only am I there most of the time..I also feel homelyтАжit has all the things that you need in a home..

Firstly thereтАЩs always my friend the тАЬstatusтАЭ asking me тАЬwhatтАЩs on your mind?тАЭтАж..Tell me who in todayтАЩs world has the time to ask you that everyday!!!

Then there is the тАЬWallтАЭтАжguess Mark Zukerberg (the founder of facebook), translated the marathi тАЬkattaтАЭ quite literally. This is one place where I can openly express myself, and have discussions with others on scholarly topics such as тАЬwas the england-India match fixedтАжтАЭ Serves the purpose of the Katta, doesnt it?

Next for all the girly gossip that I cannot discuss on the Wall, there is the chat and the messageтАж.serving the purpose of the telephone in my houseтАж

ThereтАЩs the organizer that reminds me birthdates,anniversaries and change in relationship status of 487 of my friends! yea, each one of themтАж

When I was little, I used to write a diary, today I write notesтАжand after a tiring day..I go through the albums, reliving some of the best moments of my life againтАж

 

So what if I dont know that my sister is having a difficulty in mathsтАжatleast I was able to help my friend in deciding whether Kobes or Mainland China is a better place to take his girlfriend for a valentine dinnerтАж

 

So what if I do not appreciate my grandmother, who cooks for me everyday, I have liked each one of the 300 odd photographs of my friendтАЩs sisters weddingтАж.

 

So what if I sulk the whole time Im home,  the whole world knowsтАж

Abha Deshkar : has a bad headache, that is just not going awayтАж.

One of the reason that my parents joined Facebook was to know what is going on in my life! Since I dont talk to them, they try to decipher my moods from my status messagesтАж ЁЯШР

 

So what if I dont know that one of my best friend met with an accident, I did wish that fellow in my college, with whom I fought once (I think. Im still not sure if he was the same one!), when he was down with malaria..

 

So what if out of the 487(and growing each day!) friends in my list, there are a few, whom I hope I never meet in my entire life! and that most of the remaining ones areтАжwell тАжjust acquaintancesтАж

 

I know what you all are thinking. If she knows all this, why is she still thereтАж

coz IM ADDICTED! ЁЯЩБ

Ive even tried quitting, but it just keeps coming backтАжand more strongly each time.  I swear I would do anything that makes me quit this тАЬsocial networking addictionтАЭ but the question is, do I want to???

 

Down from 24 X 7 to 3 hours each day! ЁЯШЙ
