A TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT INDIAN NET CHATTER


Ever heard of love at first site? Well, welcome to the `wild- life` called Internet chatting.
Why wild, the curious reader might ask. One look at the wide gamut of usernames and u stand answered. Ranging from spicy anatomical specifications, to simple next-door names like Akriti, Akshay, Aakansha.... from highbrow intellectual names to imaginative poesy...everyone has his own modusoperandi to vie for attention.
But beware! In case u end up entering as Rita, Sita or worse still, something spicier, don’t be surprised if u find all hell break loose as u r flooded with PM`S (private messages, for the uninitiated)
Once u r in the hunting grounds, its every one for himself as each tries to valiantly outdo the other in true Indian syamwar ishtyle.words fly as each tries to stamp his/her authority in the chat room. While other mortals, resort to flaunting their anatomy in the hope of incurring `meaningless reflexes automatically stimulated by the accident of beauty`. Proposals range from the very courteous” would u care to chat with a hot 20 year old " to the very senti "hello. I am very lonely. Would u please chat with me"? u really have a lot of variety to choose from. And yes u also have a lot of variety to offer. An introvert housewife can suddenly transform herself into a sizzling bold teen babe.... 80 year old veterans turn into sweet 16 Romeos.... u can dawn any mask u desire. One kiss of the net and whoa! Frogs get transformed to princes...princes to emperors and so on.

So, u finally manage to catch a fish in the `net`. what next? Conversations range from highly intellectual duels (u can discuss Shakespearean poetry, art reforms in cubism….oops did someone say get a life!) to even more brainstorming issues (like j.lo`s latest video).but a typical chat session exemplifies the title of the article.u just cant stay unaffected by the sweet mush flowing around.all the compliments and sweet pleasentries are bound to tickle ur senses.all that is exchanged is aimed at one single magic lamp...ur contact no. though the more experienced chatter might not settle for anything less than a blind date.(in case a college student turns out to be a retired pensioner u know what to do, pretend u r blind and run!)

Whatever the intricacies involved. Chatting has sure taken over as the great national pastime. It can be fun, funky or wild and offers instant connectivity.
Want to know more ?well in case , u r a guy the truth really is out there. In case u r a gal, v can chat!

the great indian dilemma

see, the problem is that indians love to talk..
thats why chatting as a national pastime comes as no great surprise. the dilemma stems from the indian's obsession with whom they are talking to..
for instance a lot of ppl who want to discuss shakespearean poetry wudnt really care if they were talking to a girl/guy/child/grandpa...
but not an indian.
for an indian discrimination is a tool not only to carve a niche for oneslef, but also a means of protecting one's ideology. an indian loves talking to someone who agrees with what he belivs in and even if he is one of the few who likes a healthy debate, he will not give in till his point is proven.
note the use of the singular male gender.
i did that deliberately coz when it comes to women who chat, then its a whole new ball game. chatting for women is just another means of fighting boredom, like ekta kapoor serials..
another way of getting thru those walls that confine them from going out and having real relationships with whomsoever they choose.
the internet is just another cog in india's ever rotating wheel of superficially being "forward" while the core still rots in medieval thought.
