The ORKUT love story

An unknown person particularly of opposite sex visits your profile on one of the social networking sites, you reciprocate by visiting the unknown, finds the person beautiful or handsome,, whatever the case maybe,and make a picture in your mind, if the other person visited his/her profile,there maybe something in me which is liked by him/her. Let us send a friend a request,and see where it takes. In this scenario,boys are more impatient,most of the persons inn these social sites is displayed single,either they are really "single" and "ready to mingle" or looking for a change. Nobody is really enjoying the "happily single" phase,and if then for a moment only,everybody wants to get to rid off this status asap. In some cases,some are getting in touch with their childhood crushes,or one time meetings,which at that moment of time in the past,couldn't be transmogrified into a healthy friendship and further into a blooming and burgeoning relationship. But at this moment, a friend request,, a "Hi,how are you,Remember me" line can work for you instantly. Then some more scraps,few mushy and friendly emails,chatting on gtalk or yahoo messenger. Even video chatting(Courtesy Skype/Yahoo Messenger),phone no. and even the proposal also over the phone. The Love story has finally begun. Mostly many of these "so called love stories" are "long distance relationships" which further complicates this thing over the time.
Really speaking,today the youth from 16-30 age group,it can vary(my statistics are based on my limited knowledge) are using these social networking sites as a tool to get companions. These sites are a real revolution, and nobody is untouched by this phenomenon. when it started it was a forum of friends and our known ones to stay connected and find our lost buddies.Though, today also it serves as a marvelous tool to be in touch, but at the back many are reaping the benefits of finding "love". To search and even find "love" has become so easy and cheap,just a click away. BINGO!
My candid confession has to be a part of this blog, I too got my adolescent crush on such a social networking site. My closest buddy,after his engagement broke down,disgusted and dejected, went to a firang country for his further studies and to overcome the shock of his life, who claimed and boasted that he has lost the tendency to fall in love and trust somebody now, todays he's in a healthy relation and I am sure he is going to walk down the aisle any sooner,ask him how this "Pyar Impossible" became "Possible" instant reply "Orkut Zindabad". and the girl is in India, all the distances are just vanished by a click. And likewise there are many such successful stories. Finally, a day comes,when you change your relationship status from "single" to "committed", you get messages from nook and cranny, "Kya Scene Hai", Whats going on?
But as any other coin, this coin is also having the other side, the happy faces can suddenly become sad ones, because these networking sites have become portent "Relationship Breaker" too. Those who initiated their relationships from this platform, and are long distance lovers are the worst hit, because "Pyar ke Side Effects" is a lot of insecurities. How much you try you cant know and understand a person over a phone, you need to spend some quality time. Guys and Gals,who are in such a binding relationship, dont jump off your seats,exceptions are always there,and think yourself the lucky one's.
My female friends are always in a fix. Especially,if they get a request from some unknown or little known male,and they accept it or they post some of their pics,where their curvaceous body is best visible,then their male chauvinistic boyfriend will create "havoc", and "Abla Naari" for saving the "True Love", either has to delete the pics, sometimes even hide her identity by changing her name,few examples are expect the unexpected, live and let live etc, there is a plethora of such hilarious profile names. In worst cases,sometimes the profiles are deleted forever. a final fullstop is punched.
Some start detesting these sites,some start loving and some say if he/she goes away, the duplicate matrimony site will open more options, and that too without any charges. Despite all these pros and cons, these social networking sites have world even a more smaller place. I am sure many of you who will go through this blog will identify themselves in some parts.
