Can v save ourselves from d virtual crap???

Chatting on Internet is acting weird and bipolar these days. This has caused me to ask- "Am I here?" or rather "R u der?"- a shocking number of times in a day as at times I chat wid ma frnz...lol

To illustrate, a recent conversation with one of my frnz today
Pooh: Hello? Am I here?!
(Silence)
x-(
:(
(Frustration)
Pooh: I need you so I can find myself! Respond at least :/
Frn: Yes. I am right here :)
Pooh: Fantastic...:) :) :) mwahhh

Ahhhhh the moment I see ma frn online back typing...such sweet words! Music to my ears! Oh! And the joy on realising that I was in fact present at the scene of the chat and I did in fact exist....rotfl

Now this really takes Winnicott's theory of being able to be only when you find yourself reflected back through the other, to another level! Now doesn't it? ;)

Folks as I describe u my internet chat experiences...a thought jus uprooted n yearning to vomit in words on ma blog...So many names on my Gtalk, Yahoo Msgr list. And I can’t ping even one of them at 3 am complaining about insomnia at times. Yet, there will be the usual “hi what’s up” instant messages that lose steam after the ‘nothing much' accompanied wid an annoyin happy smiley :)

I really hate it wen I see my brothers online...and the max they wanna chat wid me is like:

Pooh: Hey Kapc how r u bhai...wassup...any updates on ur job trials??
Kapc: Hey Di JSK
Pooh: :)
Pooh: ?? U der??
Pooh: Arey answer me na baaba how r things wid u...
Pooh: :(
Pooh: DING
Pooh: X-(
Kapc: BRB
Pooh now thinkin fuck it..m loggin off now!!!!!

I mean to say my bro has learnt a new language of talkin to me in text language..So instead of typing the entire stuff Jai Shree Krishna to greet me..its cut to JSK ...lol...dunno where really r we heading wid such communications :)

How can I ignore the non stop chatter on Twitters which is also something in fashion :P A race to get as many followers as possible. A race to spew as many inane words as possible. And I have to worry about losing my followers if I say something seemingly stupid. Yet, we don’t think twice before wishing PEOPLE WE HAVE NEVER SEEN OR MET good morning or good night, and calling them ‘my tweeps.’ Damn really is it true!!!!!!

A million friends on Facebook. Liking status messages, showing off ur coolness by commenting the weirdest thought one cud imagine...random FB activity. Joining groups to get a Games Development company to create an Indian flag, or rather stop ppl hating Indians by getting 1 lac votes!!!! Aaarrrggghhhh sometimes all this drives me crazy. The funniest lot I see is on some of my pics posted....instead of commenting on their thoughts bout the pic...they actually start chit chatting there...hilarious!! Pls gimme a break...n ma frnz on FB if u r reading this..pls spare chattin wid me atleast thru comments ya!! Thodi toh izzat rakhlo meri sharafat ki ;)Ya ya i still love u ya :) and ofcourse ur so called lightining talks!! ;) Hey hey hey I am sarcastic here!!!

Seeing a long thread of wall posts that usually begins with a hi long time, and ending with let’s catch up etc. After which, nothing really happens....m sure u’d gimme a high five for dis belief of mine ;)

Pun apart...I really ponder..When the hell did conversations become so tripe ya? When did people become so un-interesting? Is it really because of technology?....Do lemme know if any of you reading this have answers....I guess Whatever happens the old days aren’t coming back...sigh!! (Maybe I'll post a separate blog on how old rather golden days conversations wid frnz or family used to be....

Newayz Happy Web 2.0 networking folks ;)
