SOCIAL NETWORK

It was social network and Harsha who inspired me to pen down this post.

While i was riding back home after watching 'social network' , I was struck with this particular idea. Isn't it women who run the world? Oh no, I am not indicating at the likes of Sonia Gandhi, Queen Elizabeth so on and so forth. Its just that in this particular movie, the founder of facebook could not take rejection from a girl and BANG, that laid the cornerstone of facebook. The claim to fame by the geek was that he could get 22,000 clicks to his page within just a night. People were thronging in because it was to do with girls again. The biggest trump card for the site to gain popularity was the relationship status. Again to do with girls, Oh unless if the guy is gay.

Leaving facebook behind for sometime, and talking about a more primeval social networking site 'Orkut'. I used to get forward mails of how Orkut was found by a cupid stuck guy trying to reunite with his lost girlfriend through social networking. I still don't know how true that story is , but the point is , it was again a girl! There might be a great contrast of emotions behind both the founders, but they had a common impetus 'GIRLS'.

Social networking is fun. It presents a whole new virtual world before us and leads us through alleys we have never been before in the real world. In here, even the non existent, timid and docile species have made a place for themselves. I find it inscrutable as to how an undemonstrative, reserved, inhibited introvert in my class turns out to be so effusive, outgoing and gushy on social network. I see them posting pictures with shades on, sporting denims or on a bike all trying to look hip and happening. The other guys who in fact are groovy and swell in the real world keep up the same signature even on the social networking sites too. They just try to satiate their ego online and try claiming the crown of 'The stud sovereign' without making their attempts look evident. This snowballs his popularity and his name goes round in girl talks and there he gets himself a 'hard to get girl' throwing herself at him.

Half the men in social networking are there just to get laid. They are there to paint their fantasies with a female face. Apart from its true purpose 'social networking' , its more of a fishing expedition for guys. The MBAs could learn a lesson from the guys here of how to market oneself and take cues about advertising and roping in people. So as I say, its all about GIRLS in capitals, italic and bold.

Since I am underscoring the importance of girls so much on social networking, let me also throw light on what the angelic species think of it themselves. For the girls, apart from its true use social networking, it serves as a yard stick to measure how illustrious or so to say pretty they are. It just helps them keep a count of how many admirers they have got. We have yet another genre of females just as thick as their counterparts, but I would not enunciate that part here. It can be done in a later post. This space is reserved to glorify GIRLS. (sorry boys!! ;-))

The purport and the point that I am driving at is that without girls, social networking would just become a subject that Ross Gallar the paleontologist would be interested to study.

Oh yeas, If you are wondering why I took Harsha's name at the beginning of the post, it was only to pull his leg and to educate him on the dynamics of social networking. Kid grow up! Oops, sorry proff Lupin.

This post is not intended to take a dig at the guys. I just intend to pen it in a good spirit, and for the record I was posting on orkut as well as facebook while blogging this one. So i'll end it with HAIL social networking..!! :)
