My Life in Facebook

Hi…

I am http://facebook.com/trickynilesh

Till 2009 I was staying with my parents, but there after I left my home to live my life on my own. (Bad decisio!!......hmm.... I realized later:P)

I struggled for a day and then found a nice place to live - A flat of my frnd.

Life was awesome there. Neither I had to pay rent nor for food. (Although my frnd wanted me to do so)

But only after 87 days and 4 hours my frnd told me to vacant his flat. (kamina sala)

I still don’t know what the problem was.

So, what yaar if I started dating with her girlfrnd. (Anyways I was using his flat then what’s the problem in gf)

I was again in the earlier situation. I had no place to live. (Grlfrnd of my frnd also dumped me)

I struggled hard for long time (24 hours) and then I found a better place to live -facebook.

My life changed thereafter. Living in facebook has its own advantage. Neither I have to pay house rent nor are there any restrictions (As we normally have in societies).

Facebook never told me anything; no matter whatever I do there and how much mess I create in my profile.

Now I live permanently in facebook.

I spend more time in facebook than breathing. No, seriously!! I can sustain at least for a minute without oxygen, but can’t if I go offline for a second.

My life has changed completely after I shifted to facebook.

Now I can say that I am a citizen of every country (wherever we have facebook).

Sometimes I have to face problems also like- that day when my cook called me for dinner, I replied -post it in my wall, I will take it from there.

That day I slept without having dinner as my cook threw the food on room wall.

Poor fellow!,  don’t know the difference between facebook wall and room wall.

But these all are just small problems, which is negligible in front of advantages.

Like till last year I hardly had any  frnds, now I have 583 frnds. (My facebook profile says that)

First time on my birthday I received 583 wishes (It’s easy to wish by a post on wall)

Although only one out of those called me in person on my birthday, but that also through voice chat (Who will waste money on call, when u can talk in free through voice chat)

Even I got a girlfrnd after joining facebook only.

We met in facebook. She was my first frnd. (In fb)

Her name is https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=12abc5634

(Nice name na!!)

 She is as cute as her name, good looking girl (As per her fb pic, as I never saw my girlfriend in real).

But love is all about trust. (I trust that she is using her real pic)

Our relationship is very strong (we have 50 mutual frnds)

And facebook plays a vital role in that.

In our relationship of 2 year I never forgot to wish her on her birthdays.

(Thanks to Fb application - birthday calendar which keep reminding me about her birthday a week in advance)

This also helps me in planning a grand party for her.

I always celebrate her birthday and I always invite all the people in her frnd list on this birthday event. (Celebrating birthday in facebook has its own unique advantage. You can invite as many numbers of people as you want without worrying about cost, after all these all are virtual parties).

I am not like other boyfriends who only monthly, quarterly or yearly give her girlfriend a rose

(Feeling less guys!!..).

I care about her feeling that’s why everyday  I post a rose (Image) in her wall, to show my love.

See, it saves money and at the same time she can preserve those roses in her facebook timeline forever.

By the way I forgot to tell you, I spend 24 hours with my girlfrnd (Day as well as night ;) )

Isn’t it lovely to be with your gf all the time (How romantic!!)

Actually I am in live in relationship with my girlfrnd. (We both live in fb)

Maintaining a relation is not that easy.

Liking each other is not enough; we also have to like each others choice and feelings.

Keeping this in mind I like each and every post of my gf (Its takes only a second to click facebook like button)

Usually girls complain that boys don’t remember the dates.

The day they first met.

The day they went for first movie.

First kiss

First …

Uff!.. there are so much.

I don’t know why girls give so much importance to remembering the dates.

But my gf never complained me about this. Actually I never give her any chance to complain.

(I created facebook life event for each such date, it’s easy to recall from there).

When we started our relationship, we hardly had any one in our friend list.

But now I have 583 frnds… 1 girl (my fb gf) and rest all boys.

Its not that I am so loyal to her that I never added any girl in my frnd list, it’s just that no other girl accepted my frnd request.

Even facebook blocked my right to send frnd request several times (Thank God they do this always for temporary basis) saying that I cannot send frnd request to unknown people.

I hate this logic of facebook, if I can’t send frnd request to unknown people, then how can I grow my network!!...

So the point is I just have one girl in my list and she…

She has 189 frnds… 180 boys and 9 girls..

(But I am happy that at least I am ahead in number of frnds)

But gradually things started changing..

I never liked it when someone else like or comment on her profile.

One day I forced her to remove 51 boys from her list as they keep on liking and commenting on her post.

Next day when I opened facebook she was not there.

This was the first time in our relationship she went offline.

This is where it started.

And gradually it becomes her habit.

It was her second birthday.

I wanted to be the first one  to wish her.

I was online from 11 pm, was waiting for her.

But she didn’t come.

Later one of my frnd told me that she was there, but she blocked me, as she was chatting with somebody else.

I was very angry on her and I posted spam content on her profile as her birthday gift.

But soon I realized my mistake when facebook warned me that if do it again they will throw me (Block) out.

As I had no other place to go, I deleted that post and also posted a sorry msg on my gf profile.

But there after it was routine.

She started avoiding my ping.

It was valentine week.

As usual I planned a special event for this occasion.

I gifted her chocolate, teddy and all as per the day (Virtual gifts)

On 14^th Feb I decided to spent whole day with her.

From 13^th evening I started posting hearts on her wall.

I was very excited to spend time with her.

We decided to meet at 5.

At correct time I came online, but she was not there.

I kept on  waiting, waiting and waiting.

Finally she came online at 10.

I was very angry for  why she didn’t come.

She told me that she went outside with one of her frnd (A boy).

We started fighting again. I was surprised how she could do this to me.

I had already informed her that I decided to chat with her for 24 hours on this day and she didn’t even come online.

She told me that she was so eager to meet me, to go outside for a date with me (we never went in real), but I never took  her out.

“I don’t know why you want to go outside and waste money, when we can share wonderful moment in fb itself. We can chat here 24 hours, what’s the problem girl?”

After my above post on her wall (yes I posted that in fb) our relationship status changed.

Earlier she was my girlfriend, now she is my Ex- girlfriend.

At the time of final breakup she forced me to change my relationship status to single.

First time in my life I received so many likes on my status update. (All boys liked that)

Even they commented on my profile – maza aaya (Kamine frnds)

Anyways the present situation is that I am single.

Still sending frnd request to unknown girls.

Hey wait a minute I received a notification.

Somebody accepted my frnd request.

She is a girl :D

Why people live in past?

I wonder why people live in the past so much anyways.

What about now? What about the future?

I read a quote in facebook (Now a days facebook is my primary source of information) –

“When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us”

We all know this fact, less or more we all also believe in this, but then also we stuck to our past.

There is nothing but ash left in past. (Don’t believe me? Try lit a cigarette)

I know it’s hard to forget your past, after all it was part of your life, but we have to, as life goes on.

The ex- girlfriend of one of my batch mate deleted her facebook account because he not let her go. He keeps on posting about his feelings in her heart (I mean to say in her facebook wall). He didn’t allow her to start her life again.

Yaar is that fair? I know feelings are stupid. It never follows logic. Life is much ahead of 0’s and 1’s.  ( he he, I am computer science eng :p)

One of my close friends still obsesses over why the girl broke up with him in engineering college, 4 years ago.

Dost, its 4 year now. Isn’t it too much?

He still thinks about her, and talks about her. Doing this not only he is ruining his present but also the life of that girl.

I am also not that practical, but 4 years?

This is one of the reasons that why I like the tag line of famous brand   FAST TRACK – “move on”

(The another reason is it belongs to TATA group- and being a part of TATA group I have to show loyalty towards it)

The question is why people dwell on the past. Is this because they are not happy with the present? Or there are some another reason? Is it out of conceit? Are they just reliving their glory days?

May be this is because they feel that past is more comfortable. They know it.

They spent their day thinking about the past. They remember the things that they felt secure in.

Most people don't like change.

Some people just live in the past because they don't want to accept the challenge that they are going to have in the present or in the future. They're just afraid to fail and very afraid of the changes that awaits them. They're simply weak and cannot imagine the beauty of life without complexities.

I read a book “The Present” written by Spencer Johnson which explained the importance of present very well.  It says that the present is a gift that makes you happy and successful in work and life.

You can't live in the past but memories are great to have.

I suggest better to try to make each day an adventure and try new things. Try doing this for a while and it can become a habit and then new things become not so scary.

Leave your past in the past; don’t bring it in your present. Stay happy or at least try to be happy. It’s totally up to you. Its you only who can bring happiness in your life.

Good luck with this and don't give up.

Are we really free?

Tomorrow is republic day. On 15^th Aug 11 we celebrated 64^th Independence Day.

But are we really independent?  Are we free to celebrate republic day?

Many of us would say yes, but then again we don’t know any better. We have been told all our life that we are free. But are we really?

Even Google search gives biased result. It says that yes India is free country.

I have not seen pre independence era but I wonder was it worse than what we have today?

Even Delhi high court of India says that they would ban internet like china.

It simply means that we would no more be living in a democratic county like we have conceived it back in 1950 when India became a republic country from a dominion one.

We still need freedom from -

·        Corruption

·        Politicians

·        Terrorism

·        Un education

·        Poverty

·        Hunger

·        Breaking News and many more important issues

Today I was taking a walk after dinner.  A child of nearly 7 year old pulls my shirt.

He was carrying our national flag in his hand. 

He was saying something, most probably in Tamil. I don’t know Tamil, was not able to understand his words.

But I understand everything; it’s the hunger in his eyes which explain me the situation. He was selling the flag. I handed him a 10 Rs note without buying the flag and run away.

Don’t know whether I have done right or wrong. As some of you might thinks that giving money in this way would not going to solve the problem.

My mobile phone beeped when I received a message, it was related with freedom of India ended with – Happy Republic day.

The situation forces me to think; is this free country? Each year we celebrate Independence day, republic day. But there are thousands of child like this, who don’t have proper food to eat. Most of them are working from childhood to serve their stomach, others adopted the easy way – begging.

I was continued walking with my thoughts, but again some one pulled my shirt. It was the same child – this time with both of his palm open; one has the same 10 Rs note, the other has the national flag.

Again his eyes told me that he is not going to accept the money until I buy a flag. So either I have to buy that flag or I can take my money back.

I smiled and taken the flag.

My phone beeped again.

It was msg from one of my friend – I love my India.

I smiled. Yes I love my India. I learned a lesson today, so what if we are not free from problems. We will resolve all those one day.

It takes time to bring changes and we, people of India will bring that.

If we see from our heart we would find that we are really improving. We are changing.

Let’s keep this positive attitude like I had seen in the eye of that child.
