Networking..

I met an old acquaintance the other day – and by the end of this you’ll know why I called this person an acquaintance;
He walked into me like I was his great pal from some age and then he left pointing in a very “50 Cent way” and said, “I’ll catch you on facebook bro”!! He didn’t ask for a contact number, an email ID, where I stay, no sir – nothing! FACEBOOK!!! I have nothing against the “information age” but then again where are the old simple things? So let’s cut the long story short – he didn’t catch me. Infact he missed by a mile.
I’m not “on” facebook and yes I know how it works! I don’t need to be in touch with anyone apart from the ones I’m already in touch with. I may sound like an ass hole but if you’re reading this I’ve proved my point already. If you’re sneaking into this you’ll have a very good idea about where to find me and if you don’t have an idea then I’m proving my point all over again!
Think about this – how many of the facebook friends that you have, spoke to you in the last one month or even better – a year! I agree the concept is brilliant, but then again so was the concept of the atom bomb! Okay maybe the analogy is a little extreme but what is this whole thing? It’s like a competition to be cool? And they even call your list of people “friends”!
I say again, I have nothing against this – just don’t ask me to join or try to “catch me bro” on facebook, orkut, WAYN, Hi-5, etc. I’m not a social networking person and I probably will never be. Here’s one for all my friends – the ones who’ve been around even when I got left behind, the ones who still believe in talking than writing on my wall or scrapping!
Here’s my side of the story and I’m sure more will disagree than agree. I don’t care and I’m sure you already know that!


P.S. Is there a difference between I don’t give a shit and I give a shit (for some of you shit can be replaced with fuck)
