Off FB!

Thank you, Barkha, for helping me discover that the Internet is beyond Facebook! I truly agree with your HT article . If anyone deserves the gallows, nope, it isn't Ajmal Kasab, it is scum like SPS Rathore that rule our country. My sympathies to you and your family, Mr. Girhotra, and Aradhana, if I were the President of the country, you would get an Award for Extraordinary Bravery next January 26.

BREAKING NEWS: SATHISH JOINS THE "NO FB" CAMPAIGN!

Reuters: In a move that has clearly surprised and even shocked all those who once had "Otteri Neri" on their Friends List, Sathish has put up an "Off FB" status and has resisted all temptation to check on his notifications. Adivaasi, spokesperson for Mr.Neri, in an interview to Al-Jazeera, denied speculation that Mr.Randomness Personified had decided to leave the social networking site notorious for its addicting capability once and for all. "He just wants to see how long he can survive without FBing. Plus he's coping really well with the Facebook Withdrawal Syndrome. He listened to songs, blogged, twittered, caught up with old friends, and is even considering getting a start on his C++ project", said Mr.Adivaasi.

Well, yeah, that kinda summarizes my life at the moment. With Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gayi playing on an endless loop in my head [Take that wide-eyed astonished look off your face, Nishi, I do listen to Hindi songs!], Shreya DidiG's "Maine wine piya, dance kiya, kal meri behen ki birthday hai, cake kaaongi, tumhe sab kuch bataoongi, kal call karoongi, because tum bankrupt hoge. GN, SD", dear sweet old Grandma's "Nee thirundaveamatta" and if really exasperated "Nee urupadamaari enakku theriyala!" statements, Mom wondering if I got an inflatable balloon for a stomach, Julie and me MRT-ing, Dad worrying if getting me a laptop was really a wise decision, listening to Vinay-Earth-Destruction-Karthik's "Anna! I'll annihilate the Earth" plans, mokkafying Sam every few hours, missed-calling Violin Sir, dividing 1000/x where x was once 15 and is currently 7, getting up leisurely at 11.30, watching really "WhydidIevercomeforthis?" movies like New Moon, cycling recklessly up and down the potholed alleys of Singara Chennai, downing half a dozen coffees in a day, forwarding really random SMSes to Sudip, "please cal. m bored"ing Divya and yeah! regretting my decision to drag 15 kgs of books all the way from 3 MCR to Changi Airport and to Chennai last 28th and forgetting them since then...life is seriously awwsum![Sheesh! AWESOME!]

I'm coming, Morpheus. Adieu!
