Its 6.30p.m. now.......Work's more or less wrapped up.Its time for me to head for the place I presently call home.But I choose to glue my nose into the 17inch in front of me instead...Courtesy: Mr. Orkut Büyükkökten.Who-so-ever told this Turkish gentleman to brew up the site...was indeed far sighted(pun intended).
I always boasted myself of being able to exercise self-control, if anything.I prided myself on not freaking out if I saw something really captivating on the store-window...of being able to check my rapacity every time I encountered a Death-by-Chocolate(trust me people!!!!;)) ...of restraining from over-spending on the plush multiplex culture(I shall talk about that in one of the forthcoming articles for sure)every weekend....But alas!!!not any more..I daresay.
Blame it all on our dear Orkut dotcom.Its strange how it has managed to grip me into its fanatic(if I may say so)world....so much so that I cannot but refrain from visiting it at least once in every couple of hours.
Agreed, it does help you get in touch with those long-lost(well,not always) friends and acquaintances.In fact I myself met up with my school seniors/classmates in good old Bangalore last weekend,thanks to Orkut.But I must confess its a total work-stopper(I do not guarantee the existence of this one in the dictionary)!!Our office server has banned it(the reason being obvious of course)...and yet one shall always find a conflux of Software engineers waiting at the library internet with absolute patience only to "surf" Orkut.I fail to fathom why!!!
... And yet now I am compelled to put an end to this article(readers,you may please breathe a sigh of relief)....as Orkut beckons me.Such is the magnetism of it.Long live Mr. Büyükkökten.Long live the world of Orkut.:)

i just hope that the sys ad. doesn't read this...or else there wouldn't be any more conflux of engineers in library :-)and of course u wouldn't need to fathom "why!!!"...just kidding...
good one ...enjoy the magentism of
Mr. Büyükkökten's creativity
Hmmm...Well it goes beyond me how people cannnot refrain themselves from it , even the possiblity of meeting up with old and new friends is not an incitive enough for me to go ORKUTTING as people says, but no one can deny its a good way in keeping touch with the friends and making new one :-)... but i know sweetheart you have enough self control to refrain urself if necessity arises...:-)

A Novel Concept which developed into an ground-breaking (or should i say work-stopping) idea, adopted and nourished (like a stray child) by Google... Orkut is cool!..
But i think it has a long way to go, in its ease of use and other ways too...
But Cheers to Orkut, for the sheer innovativeness of the idea that has spawned a hysteria on the internet.
yeah, its the best internet based social network, but ever since i have started using scrap boy, its been just another messenger in the system tray, i have hardly visited the site since.
