I was sad, lonely, and without any friends. I wanted to speak my mind to my friends , create new ones , feel that I am alive.
Then my sister did a great favor to me . She invited me to www.orkut.com. All I needed to be a part of this website was a gmail account. I accepted her invitation, created my profile and wallah, I was introduced to a world of very interesting people from different corners of the world.
Best of all, I found some of my best buddies from yester years, from school , college and even my colleagues living alternative lives online. I have come to know them even better because of orkut, caught up with old times. Talking to them gave life to my memories and tears if joy in my eyes.
If you are the one who lives for the moment, then there are an ample number of people waiting to be oyur friends, just reach out dude !
There are innumerable
communities on the site, created by
individuals, so just pick your lot. The communities are there on almost every topic in the world, be it music, countries, maths, hollywood actors, favourite tennis stars, alumni groups, individuals, whether god exists, environmentalists etc. Basically you can join any communities , speak your heart and soul about it ans if you are not satisfied then even go ahead and create communities yourself.
Orkut is one place , where you rule, you can disapprove an invitation from a person you don't want to be friends with and join or unjoin a community you wish.
Basically, you have your own place in a corner.
It has done wonders for me . I exchange travel tips with my friends, have learnt new ways to consume chocolate, and am happy to find that I am not the only one who hates getting up early in the morning.
