10 THINGS I LEARNT FROM FACEBOOK....

-
10 things I learnt from Facebook:

1.Pokes:
Nobody will poke you a second time if you don't give a damn the first time...Ignore their poking and they will stop.

2.Friend requests:
You  can't force anybody to be your friend....
You can ask them nicely if they will ...you can ask them twice...but if they dont want to you have to let go...
Also no matter how much somebody tries to force you to be their friend you should learn to say no when necessary...Somebody knowing half the people you know isn't a qualification to be your friend...

3.Inbox:
Inbox stuff you can not afford to tell the world...
As much as you want to tell somebody something....the whole world doesn't need to know...

4. Likes and the lack of dislikes:
Zucky gave us a like button but not a dislike button...the reason ...
If you like something ....go out there and let people know that you like it....
But if you did not like something....you do not have to go around announcing it....Keep it to yourself..better off that way...

5.Share:
Share everything that is umm...share-worthy (?)
Share everything good that you  know will make (or in some cases break) someone's day....Share your joy...
Share your friend's joy (without asking them sometimes :|)

6.Hide:
Hide everything you would rather not know...
A lot happens to a lot of people....a lot of people say a lot of things...
sometimes you just have to ignore some people...ignore what they say...
And if you find it difficult..to ignore what you see...hide them and concentrate on the friends that DO COUNT.

7.Comments:
Never say anything about anything...unless you are prepared for what goes on after...and for the cartload of notifications from everyone who will also comment...
Do not make comments about anybody unless you are willing to get into a full blown discussion with everyone they know and you know...

8.List:
Put people into different lists...just because you are willing to share something with someone ...you don't have to share that with everyone you know...
Organise people into different groups...based on what they mean to you...



9.Block:
If somebody abuses you, hurts you, insults you...or basically makes life difficult....
Try ignoring them....if they invade your life and your buddies lives as well..block them....
Block out people who are there to pull you down.....maybe they are still there....but you dont need to acknowledge their existence...


10.Birthday and event notifications:
Always try and remember birthdays...and even if you have no clue when you studied/worked with this person go ahead and wish them a great year ahead...it may not make your day...but it may make theirs...
NEVER EVER forget to wish somebody well...even if you don't know them....
Today you are wishing a stranger well...tomorrow...a stranger will wish you well...

Empty Pages S2 E2 Brownie

Brownie She was so happy. Her proposal had been accepted finally.  All that hard work, all those late nights had paid off.  She turned to look outside the window.  The skies did not echo her sentiments. They were the most morose shade of grey possible. She searched for rays of sunshine, but it was as dark as the  ocean floor.  All the joy left her like a punctured balloon.  She turned around to text her friend about how her best day was actually morose. She felt horrible to always be the one who had a bad day. 10 mins of scrolling later, she realised she had nobody  to say this to.  She decided to make the most of  what she had.  She walked down through the now pouring rain,  gingerly tiptoeing over puddles. She swore as mud got into her shoes. She felt extremely stupid for not being dressed monsoon friendly during monsoons.  This wasn't ...

Strobic

It's been a long time since I wrote here, or wrote at all really. Decided to use a random word generator and then generate the rest of the words to make them into sentences. I cant promise they will make sense. Here goes. Strobic It was early summer morning in the town of Cristobal.  Susanna opened her eyes and smiled. Her cheeks flushed with colour. She looked at the flowers that had just bloomed and it was hard to say what was a prettier sight. She was thinking of Rico. With his focussed  brown eyes, warm yet piercing, hidden under his bushily grown eyebrows. Summer didn't make her feel warm in ways he did. If only he knew. Rico, the salty air playing with his wavy hair,on the other had was fighting his way through a crowd. He had long been athirst to leave this small town. He wanted to show these people he was more than they thought he could be. That was the good part of being the underdog. Nobody expected anything from you. The scandalmonger Mrs Hector had fed ...

The Quarter-Life Crisis

Wrote this long back, but here they come,as promised. The Quarter-Life Crisis. Feb 23,   2011 (Yes!The quarter life crisis seems to have hit me ...atleast some parts of it ..this is how it goes: ) Stop!Look!Turn around! Is this you ,you seem to have found? You can't look at what you have become, You don't want to think about what you have done. After this  uncertain future does stare, Uncertainity of when,how and where... But then, where am you right now? Even if you want to leave,how? Those who seemed like they were kin, Didn't mind using you as a bin. They seemed like you knew them for years, But didn't think twice before they induced those tears. Those you overtook on the life highway, Were the one's who deserved to stay. Quenched your thirst to be there first, Now have to wait till the twist of fate. You had different notions of the future, Life surreptitiously drew its own  caricature. You are sear...
