1 Read Blog Request !!

Filed under: Aiwain!, Creative Inc., Uncategorized — Animesh @ 1:29 pm

Animesh has sent you a read blog request. To see what animesh wants to make you want to read sit down , get ready and scroll down the dumb list and yeah to read you would have to send 20 of your friends another irritating request so that they waste their time and add another of our totally waste and crap application.

Don’t get a clue what I am talking about .. Check www.wastebook.com ;) .

This facebook shit is like few people hell bent on capitalising on the voyeuristic minds of the million others who can’t simply judge whether what use to them is “What Kinda Dumb Ass are you – typa request :P “.

My tyrist with facebook began with countless mails inviting me , and equally numbered reminders that your so an so invitation from so and so is getting expired on so and so date .. so hurry up and join the bandwagon . A few days pack I thought that It won’t harm my health if I joined (How wrong I was !!) and got listed after answering usual similar privacy invading questions (I dint know who copied orkut or facebook .. but later I came to know of another angle in this Love-triangle , Myspace :D , so I think its best left to the lovers to decide ).

The first thing I noticed was some 2-3 requests (hey ! It can’t be that bad) and one of them was flirtable . Lately sole aim of life had become similar to this .. and I thought its better than orkut where you have to sieve through the girls to get to few cool ones . I added it .

Wait .. actually there was a huge time gap between the time I added it and the time I started flirting .. It required me to invite my 20 others friends to flirt so that I-earn-some-bonus-points-so-that-My-status-could-change-from-Newbie-to-Flirt Agent-to-Big-daddy-Pimp–to what not … I was not sure whether these tags would help my status any way in India or would further grade me down to Man-hole m But still I thought whats the harm in trying . So, In no time I had got some 300 points (20 points-per friend invite) and I was sifting through pages like-a-matrimony :P display . I got few replies bit I think that getting to much virtual is not my type .. so I got fed up.

The next application was “movie taste finder” . I was laughing uncontrollably as The meter billed 2 of my friends with me as Soulmate :P for some 70% score .. and the worst part of it was both of them being male :( .

Then I thought this application thing is worthless . After some days when I again opened my account I had some 40-50 request and each required trapping my other friends and these request ranged from

1) 6 sketch me request (If I sketched I don’t know how long the sketched person could live considering my drawings always had that shock value).

2) 5 How evil are you (Very Evil .. and if you thought otherwise than take “How dumb are you ?? request :D “)

3) Now this is seriously funny .. What fruit are you ? :P (I am eager to know which of my friends are bananas :P )

4) Ithink Invitation (Well my teacher said that I was a thinking lad and it was way before you time-suckers thought of this shit :P )

5) You’re a Hotty invitation (I know dude I am but m waiting for the fairer sex to believe it :D )

6) How stupid are you Invitation (Are we not all on the same boat , remember tricked into these networking sites)

7) Are you Interested (Friends ! Depends on who is asking ;) )

8) How fat are you (Now My relatives and all says that you are kinda shrinking like Icebergs , Hostel-effect ;) I suppose)

9) Which singer are you ?? (I would like to believe am being Shaan but can you :D :D :D ???)

10) What type of heart .. ( I wouldn’t be surprised if some Organ-traders started what kind of kidneys are you :P )

And numerous others like perfect match, (*) Quizes , Gossip , trivia’s and what not …

PS 1: My God! Begging :D seems to be the flavor of the day.

PS 2: Even their server is so slow that you can literally scrap a two-or-three friends in orkut in the meantime.

PS 3: Well the main motivation for these kinda sites is that we people are shy in asking questions Directly and end up querying about all the things except that thing.

PH 1:

” Kehat kabeer Ek din aisa aayega ,

Tu mar jayega ,

Seeddha narak ko jayega :D ,

aur Tujhse poocha Jayega ,

Melody Itni Chocolaty kyun hoti hai :D . “

So , Are you  gonna tell me what kind of “Melody” are you ?

  1. indeed Facebook is just another way to kill time…
    try http://www.introverster.com it’s anti- facebook site.
    Those stupid apps used to entertain a lot in the beginning, but later they were dull, monotonous and boring..
    Look at the extreme.. I spent 4 hours playing jedi vs sith with a guy who would make a move after atleast 5 mins!
    Those stupid flirtable, vampires,slayers,dodgeballs are more stupid than they appear..
    So.. i deactivated my account.. Nirvana!

  6. Yeah, right! Most of the trivias and ‘what are you?’ kind of quizzes are frustrating at times, either the title or the questions or both!
    I still find Orkut better. :)
