Display picture

This was on my mind for a long time - I never understood why people use pictures of celebrities as their display picture on social networking sites?? It’s so irritating to see every third person you come across using celebrity pics as their dp! and u thot I was sum VIP with so many Celebs in my frnd list huh??! Honestly speaking whenever I get a friend request from any such Shahrukh or Kajol I think twice before adding them… I am so fed up!

According to me, if you think your ugly, probably not that handsome to attract chicks to your account or your face is too pretty that it might end up on some porn site, there is no need to upload a picture at all, just leave your profile as it is…we will not object! We know who you are by your name; we don’t need a photo proof at all. Your not here for some auditions!! So putting up a Jessica Alba pic makes no sense, cz it does not make you as beautiful as her nor does Eminem on your profile make you a star! Michael Jordon, Kobe Bryant and the rest dunking their guts out, don’t teach you shit about basketball …Salman Khan above your profile name does not give you a hot body and Aishwarya, Diya Mirza and Genelia have better things to do than representing you on networking sites! I mean common yaar, it’s not cool anymore! You look like some stupid fucking wannabe...

Another set of irritating profiles are profiles with cartoon pictures as dp!! Now if you’re a kid and have illegally made a legal account on any of the social sites things can be considered … but if you’re a grown up and still have a Tweety or Johnny bravo smiling in your dp, you need to watch other channels at home or may be just start thinking like an adult! Having such dp’s don’t send cute vibes anymore … they just reveal how kiddish you are!
Similarly pictures of devils, blood, piercing and such things don’t make you hardcore! An article I read long ago rightly said that ‘trying to act hardcore on the internet is like racing in the Special Olympics; even if you win, you're still retarded.’

Then there is another category of losers; who have scenery and pics of landscapes and flowers as their dp!! Now can u beat that? What does that even mean? I have nothing to say about them, talking about them is breaking your head on the wall… it just shows that they lack the ability to relate to things around them and may be have never heard of the word logic in their lives !!

So as I said I had this in my mind from a long time … but I just didn’t know how to express myself, whom to tell, etc…most of the people I know have already put up pics that annoy me, and so I called up this friend of mine called W!((!@M and discussed this issue with him … yeah he’s obsessed with writing these days.. you know .. this blogging and all that, so I encouraged him to write something about this …well, I’ve heard that he has managed to get some 4-5 people to follow his blog also…. Hmm yeah people like him manage to find a few kind people! Now he’ll write on this topic with all his masala and express my point of view to the world! Many of his friends who visit his stupid blog may also get angry with him, when they read what he writes, especially if they have the discussed display pictures highlighting their accounts, he might get angry with me also… but who cares, He should thank his starts that he met me and got a new topic to write on or he always keeps crying that he can’t think of any good topic to blog these days …

hungry fish :-(

Just found these hungry fishes on the net!! .. Its basically a java script which generates food for the fishes, when u click in the water;
I seriously found this very interesting and cool... had never seen such a thing before :-)
hmm ..when i did a little more research .. i found many blogger's have used this script to decorate their blog sidebars!! However i think my sidebar is already packed with too many things and adding the fishes would make my sidebar a bit (more) clumsy.
but at the same time i dont want these poor little fishes to feel bad that I rejected them, so i decided to have them on my blog as a post ;)

so guys go ahead, click in the water and feed these poor little hungry fishes !! [:)]

These flu days...

Swine flu!

7 things I like about it!

1. I find tying my black and white bandana around my face while walking on the road pretending to protect my self from the flu quite cool! … You know in that hip-hop style!! .. had I tried this some other time.. People would think some thing is seriously wrong with me.(may be think I am a terrorist too)

2. This flu has brought me a much needed break till Monday!! .. I was just too frustrated with my daily schedule!! Home- classes- work- classes- home- classes- home …… and so on….. I was almost going mad!! [Although some people say I am already mad!! Sniff!]

3. The roads are mostly empty now so can go anywhere you want in a ‘lightning fast speed’ (like deepika padukone )!! … Yeah didn’t I pray that day when I was stuck in the traffic for 2 hrs??... I said, “oh almighty god!! Why has thou forsaken me and held me up in this evil traffic????? I pray to thee with all my heart, let there be no more traffic” (wow! That was quick! *winks*)

4. My exams are I think going to be postponed!! And to celebrate that, I just joined the ‘I will study tomorrow’ community on facebook some time back!! Lol, I like to be in the present you see!

5. Many birthdays and parties in this week!! .. I’ll miss none!! I’ll catch up with all those who yap about having a job and being busy 24/7.

6. Some time to spend with my family! Yes! as we all know I am not the only one enjoying the aftereffects of swine flu! So here I am fighting with my bro over whose turn it is to use the comp …

7. Finally I am blogging in peace!!!! Hmmm well not that I am some big writer or someone who has taken on oath to write everyday! Just that I have enough free time on my hands now.

Ok jokes apart! It’s really sad to see so many people dying of swine flu, and the worst part is that, the death count is increasing everyday! I hope we can find out a way to stop this thing from spreading, may be come up with some vaccine or something as soon as possible!!! ...till then let’s pray and enjoy the holidays! ;)
