Top reasons to quit Facebook


#5 - Everyone else has a better time than you have

Your home page is filled up with 300+ updates, in which your friends go to such exotic places in the world and snap photos and publish them, party hard and updates their moods, or just show off their hobbies and new gadgets they had bought. Which reminds me that I have not been in a party ever since I went to college.

#4 - Getting countless application, games and event invites from your acquaintances

First of all, I was put up with a number of friend requests from every other person you met in your life. Well, I don't mind the frequaintances' requests, but now my inbox gets flooded with the numerous invites from each and every site the people in my friend list visit. Even my 13 year old cousin is on Facebook, and when I asked him how he was let in by breaking the age limit barrier, he says, "Even my school 3rd Grade students are on Facebook, anni!"


#3 - Getting tagged here and there

Sometimes when your school friends tag you on photos in which you look awfully ugly and never want to see them in your lifetime again!

#2 - Crappy status updates which make you say, "Oh, please..."

The funniest part is that the status updates from the indiscreet friends which are quite meaningless, such as, "I made chutney today","I brushed twice yesterday", "My girlfriend is special to me(For God's sake everyone's is).

#1 - Widely used as a matrimonial site

The other day, my friend's parents were looking for a bridegroom and seemed to have found a good match, and the friend wanted to know more so she rang me up and asked me to make a thorough search on Facebook. ;)

And guess there are many more, but all this is all I could come up with.
Yeah, and randomnly liking posts and pictures even though you want to puke on them. hehe...

Simple, yet poignant lyrics (II)

I've got a knack of discovering pleasant songs, excellent movies, endearing books very late in time, sometimes even after it's fad fades away. One such song is Perunthil nee enaku... The beauty of this song is that it relates to some very simple, unnoticed but pleasing moments in a our day to day life. The duet is of two people who sing about  what they mean to each other. There are some cute imperfections in Madhushri's tamil pronunciation but the male singer makes up for all that. Duh! Why do I even have to annotate the lyrics? It speaks for itself. ;) Perunthil nee enaku jannal oram Pin vasal mutrathil ne tulasi madam Vidumurai natkalil pallikoodam Vilayattu pillaigalin chella kobam Aalilla nalliravil ketkum padal Anbe anbe neeye (hmmm....)

Quote Wonderment (I)

I'm totally sick of examinations and stuff. World's worst stressors are exams. I've always had this opinion right from my childhood. Hmmm... So to get a break I was running through my old memories and thoughts. One such is the admiration for this quote, "Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are." --Markus Zusak The quote itself is amazing. Reminds me of so many things. And note that Markus Zusak's wonderful book called 'The Book Thief' which was a good read. Laziness blocks me from writing more. ;)

2 States - Oh please, no!

I don't know why I chose to read '2 States' over 'The Subtle Knife'. My copy of 'Subtle Knife' is sleeping in the shelf. I wish I had finished it off instead of reading this one. M' Okay let me tell why this book was so insipid, [beware of spoilers hehe!] Possible reasons why I picked up this book: 1. Thought it would be a light-read. 2. It involved IIM A 3. Curiosity to know the speciality of Tamil girls 4. Heard it is a slapstick comedy [ which is not, in any way] Top reasons why I disliked it: 1. Cliched plot with stale scenes. [Ithellam nanga 'Poovellam Kettupar' la ye pathutomm, Chetan!!] 2. Making fun of South-Indians went overboard. [where Punjabis were never hurt in any dialogues, a very feeble mocking was clear] 3. Nothing less than a Bollywood drama, too filmy! 4. Totally predictable. 5. Ananya herself [there're are a multitude of reasons to hate her, which I won't enumerate here] 6. The feeling of reading his p
