But personally last year's was way too good compared to this.

The way things just happen...

It is sometimes really weird to think of. Two people who are by all definitions strangers just meet in some circumstance and then they become the most important person in each others life from then. A day before it hardly would have mattered what that person had for dinner, what he/she wore, whether he/she is healthy.. etc. But then suddenly all this start becoming important.

A sense of enormity hits me hard when I think about this. So many people out there and a few lives suddenly matter so much to you. In one sense it seems unfair and in another it seems irrational.

The little time I am idle these days I spend thinking about what is the precise law that governs this. Could it be randomness ? Could it be Chaos Theory ? There must be something..................

Just cant stand these.... - Part 1

Recently, the general level of hatred in me has increased tremendously for no particular reason. I am starting to hate actions that most people commonly do. One of them is uploading photos on orkut and facebook about conventionally popular places. ! I have come to completely detest photo sharing on public forums particularly when it involves these places - Times Square, Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, etc etc. What exactly do people who post these wanna convey ? Most often it makes no difference to me if he/she slept at home that weekend or went to see the Great Wall of China. Why would people wanna show off that they have been to the most common famous tourist spots. ??? What would it take to explain to them that they are among the millions who do that everyday......I do not understand these people....

I would like to however, clearly mention that I am not against photo sharing in itself. If the photos are of places that are truly exotic or truly inconsequential then it is interesting. Some exotic places I loved to see on orkut and facebook(though I hardly knew people who visited these) include - NorthPole, Alaska...Crater Lake, Oregon( soon becoming popular hang out place.. but it is still exotic)....some irrelevant unpopular yet beautiful lake..... etc. One truly inconsequential photo is of the.. James Magic Show Walls in Chennai.......

Not that I truly care, but I hope people who post photos of their own presence in conventionally popular places and people who take every damn f**king quiz on facebook, would sooon get a life....
Facebook should certainly have a "Turn off updates on a) quizzes, b) Five things you would like to stick up your a**, c) mafia wars..." feature.

Enough hatred for a day.. Gud luck you losers. !
