First it was Hi5, then it was Orkut and now it is Facebook. Social networking is surely a way of life now. I chat with my cousins sitting a phone call away through FB, I make dinner plans with friends through the same medium and sometimes Mohit and I comment on each others pictures while sitting next to each other.
The immense power of FB...Totally gripping!
But I think the best thing that's happened for me through Social networking is touching base with old friends. People from school whom I had no clue about. People I had lost contact with after leaving college and those whom I didn't bother to call after coming to Delhi. With FB in my life, I know where they studied, who they are courting/married, how many kids they have, rather every little detail of their living minute...
The immense power of FB... Captivating!
And if I start counting the number of people I have got back in touch with from my pre 10th standard days in Sacred Heart Convent School, then the figure will surely be in doubles. It has benefited me in more ways than just emotional. I have even done business with a couple of them.
The immense power of FB... Intimidating!
I know through FB that Bhakti and I share a love for Sex and the city, Samant and I are both interested in making an impact on the world wide web and that Nando's is Ritula's preferred London eatery too. I also counted to see the huge number of Convent alumni who had now settled abroad...
All thanks to the immense power of FB...Surprising!
So for the second time in the past 10 posts, here's another cheers to FB from my side. This is good work going on and I have enjoyed talking to all my old mates. Remeniscing is good, seeing them all grown up, minding their own kids and having fun in life is what has made the social networking effort a fulfilling one. With little hello's and hi's from old school mates, it seems like my whole life comes flashing by, sometimes in pictures and sometimes in chats....
Kudos to the immense power of FB.... Imposing!
