When people ask me what do I do on net everyday, I tell them i'm always
searching on something or other thing like stock exchange, the
financial market, novels that i've recently read and so on. ok here's
my confession. I must have made google executives work for me once in
blue moon but not everyday man! I cant be that boring to search when I
dont have any upcoming assignments. Then the BIG question is what do I
do?
here's the confession of born spectator:-
I worship orkut! lol! like a true devotee I come to the temple of
orkut twice a day and answer back most of the scraps. I'll take you to
the orkut ride today and then lets see if you enjoyed the "cliche" ride
or not!
The crazy side of Orkut *
- Courtship of opposite sex**- Members of opposite sex ask for friendship proposals.
The message starts as hi ( your name)! your profile looks fab.
and you look so sweet. would you like you be friends with me? i'm
interested in "neat and clean" friendship- a friendship to last till eternity! please don't say no and dont
break my heart. i'm waiting for your reply!"
>>now this sounds really funny, who the hell and from where on
the earth the only "romeo" or "juliet" has come. usually they come
with some actor or actress picture in their profile with very limited
friends and community. I sometimes doubt from where do these people pop
up? how do they locate you when there's nothing common not even a
dead community. Watch out even lesbians and gays might also approach you*
- Simple "HI " message**-why do people send just HI message? as if
here i've lost 4kgs of my weight to read this two lettered word from a
funny strange. *
- "Jai Mata Di"** message - these message are such off beats messages
that really annoy you. I often dont read them. they narrate a strange
story to blackmail you! if you dont forward these scrap something bad
will happen or bad luck will hug you.*
- Promotional messages** - thankfully these messages are stored in the
inbox of orkut. so you dont have to struggle deleting these scraps.
they consist of job offer of all kind, online/offline/ freelance jobs,
offers for joining their strange communities and so on.*
5.Friend-in-grave**- I bet you wont recognize them
in first glance, they'll give you weired links how you both know each
other and then you're forced to recognize the friend-in-grave. *
Profile - you can boost if you have a unique profile at orkut. it works wonders incase you intend to mislead people.
Testimonials** - I simply love'em! off course you can pay your
friends to write long testimonials(good ones). but most of the time its
just me writing long testimonials for some good friends. number of testimonials show how many loyal friends you have.*
I just have 16 fans how many do you have? - longer the list of fans you've the more you're respected at orkut.
what's in your list?** this is entirely for personal usage. add
anybody in your list- block list, crush list, hot list and bookmark list*
10.Barometer **- this meter measures your trust-worthy-ness, coolness and
your sex appeal. 100% in all the three means you're desirous in the
eyes of your friends.
What is orkut good for?*
- Networking **- here at MS it is prestigious to hit century in comments
(ask FE if you want, lol!) and at orkut it's prestigious to hit
century in friends and have 1000 scraps. trust me it is. people think
that you're good human being who loves to live with friends and family.
more the number of friends the better equipped you're! birthday reminders
are like cherry on the cake:P, which helps polishing your networking.*
- get back old crush"ed"/ love** - orkut can be "lover's park" too. and
if your stars are good you can get back your old crush/love at orkut. *
- community craze** - when I visit a profile I browse in the community
that person keeps in his profile. it's an old saying - a person is known by
the type of company he keeps" here at orkut we guess the standard(oops)
of a person by community he keeps.*
- Poll(io) booth** - this part is for the active orkut'ians with lot of
brain. creating polls is real fun. voting for these polls has always
been like having a candy at orkut. I always love voting and creating
new polls. ever wonder how does it feels to see numbers of voters
mounting at your own poll? It feels awesome! create your poll with
pictures and see the magic yourself. I hope you know where do we vote
at orkut? - well if you dont know then it can be done under any community.*
5.Topic of the Lecture **- this topic also comes under community you've joined. being active in
creating topics is also fun. you can also try your hand by writing any topic named as Anonymous if
you dont want to disclose your identity. one can get lot of information
under the particular topic. cell phone problems get solved very
quickly, you can choose a good community and be active in the area of
your interest. and trust me you'll get community of your interest~ i.e. anything and everything under the sun!
Darker side orkut
*Like everything else, orkut also has a darker side.
1.Rumors at orkut - I hear this almost every month that Indian government is banning orkut for excessive abuse, porn communities, videos etc.
2.Albums misused -** dont know the truth behind it but almost the entire
world says its unsafe to upload pictures at orkut. they can be misused.
3.Scrapbook or a weapon book?- recently I heard that scrap book is
used as weapon of taking revenge. After all its so simple to create
unlimited email id/orkut id and thereby misusing the scrap book. how
many users can you block at the end of the day if somebody wants to
spoil your scrapbook at any cost?*
- Fake Fake Fake -** i've seen ids of almost all celebrities at
orkut. wonder if they're fake ids. type Sharuk khan in search box and
you'll have atleast 500 SRK! and same goes for Big B! I doubt if this
one is real SRK at orkut;-

- Murders and Marriages at Orkut -** lol these're the upcoming service that you can
avail at orkut. recently one of my friend said there have been murders
at oops I mean through orkut. and people are getting married at orkut. i've to search on it before I give more comments on it!
hope you enjoyed the orkut ride!
keep orkutting
