More concerning than the invasion of Taliban in Pakistan, is the invasion of cyberspace by self-styled Romeos. Well, all guys can claim to have tried a hand at some degree of online wooing, (including yours truly) and thats perfectly fine and understandable--but the extent to which people go to flatter eligible single PYTs is often ridiculous.
Well , everyone is well versed with various structures and parts of speech of the "friendship requests" on orkut and facebook.
'wanna 'friend'? (verb)
I want to friends with you (intransitive verb).
I want to do friends with you.
can you do friendship to me?
Do you want friendsheep? (Are you selling sheep? NO thanks)
Can you perform friendship with me ???(I am not making this one up...i wonder wht is there to perform?? :P or has friendship become a direct metaphor for something else? )
Wanna Frandship?
Mujhse Dosti Karogi?
can we make friendship with each other? (No dude, you make friendship with someone else, and I will make with someone else :P)
The over smart ones, with good grammar :P -->"I was stuck at your profile, and its not my fault you got me mesmerized. Hence, sending you this friend request..Dont get me wrong."
All roads lead to Rome. Shahrukh Khan is to blame for this-for starting the Love is Friendship ideology...Dosti pyaar ka pehle kadam hai..pyar dosti hai..
in the same line is complimenting...for every damn little thing
1)"Nice pic...every change of pic by a girl is followed by minimum 50 "Hey nice pic". Even if the pic is Kareena's pic. Wht the hell nice pic...go and say that to KAreena.
2)"nice profile" (Global appreciation...thinks tht it will give the impression tht just looks r not imp...n he gives weightage to everything)
3)"Nice 'about me'---Even if the about me is only "Strangers keep out"
4) Nice taste in Music (Attempt to be different --though has no clue who Goo Goo Dolls or Coldplay is...)
5)" Wow, you got 499 friends" (Dude, doesnt mean she is desparate to make it 500)
6) Microscopic appreciation (Nice hairstyle...nice lip gloss...Mole just above lip really suits you...basically creepy kind ..Dont know their psychology)
7) Nice Background... ("Dnt know if it is for humor, or if they really really like the background more...)
8) Nice Album.. (Even if album has only Hrithik pics with captions...hes sooo cute...)
Facebook--commenting and liking..
The dude likes every status msg u put....
PYT is bored!--- OR (Online Romeo "likes this")
PYT cant wait to go home ( OR "likes this")
Also, the DEAR phenomenon...
Addressing all members of opposite sex by "dear" is in vogue... Hi Dear, Hello dear, Thank you Dear. ok dear, brb dear, cu dear, ttyl dear, gn dear, how r u dear, i c dear.. It seems there is some DEAR key besides the RETURN key on their keyboard.
Have to give it to the ladiez who get to deal with all the CRAP. I dnt know if reverse trend happens at all, and I wonder if guys would mind tht at all...

Life For Rent
I'm renting out my life. Wanted a person to sublease my life for few months, till I get my act right and am able to do justice to the life. Life is in working condition, just few repair jobs needed. Any person will do. No background questions asked, but should be ready to hand me back the life in same condition I left it. Serious offers only. Not a commercial posting. The person in contention should be able to justify why he/she would like it and how proper care would be taken. Contact soon! Must go this week!
Lyric Magic
I have a fixation with lines of songs! Just some random line in between--if the lyrics appeal me...gets me completely glued!
Examples:
1)You pretend it doesn't bother you--but you just wanna explode" -- Metallica/Bob Seger- Turn the page
2)ek baar waqt se lamha gira kahin..
wahan daastan mili...lamha kahin nahi..
thoda sa hansake..thoda sa rulake..pal yeh jane wala hai.----- Golmaal
sab jeetaa kiye mujh se, main har pal hee haaraa
tum haar ke dil apanaa, meree jeet amar kar do
Jagjit Singh
5)Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way
No Leaf Clover- Metallica
6)In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Loser- Beck
More laters :)

3) jeene ke liye socha hi na tha, dard sambhalane honge
muskuraoon to, muskurane ke karz utaarne honge
muskuraoon kabhi to lagata hai
jaise hontonn pe karz rakhaa hai
Masoom
4)Jag ne chheenaa mujh se, mujhe jo bhee lagaa pyaaraasab jeetaa kiye mujh se, main har pal hee haaraa
tum haar ke dil apanaa, meree jeet amar kar do

We dont want no Thoughts Control??
My background is in engineering and Separation Processes in production of all chemicals can be considered to be my specialty. So , I was thinking of Separation Processes in daily life. How I wish I had some filtration device for my mind. Just take out/separate thoughts or people that you don't want or deserve your mindspace and dump them outside. Can thoughts be controlled? Is it possible to pinpoint just relevant thoughts, possible to change the frequency of stray thoughts? That certainly would be a great subject of research. Yogis have been known to master this art by meditating. So what exactly are they doing technically? Are they steering their thoughts in such a way that blood flow reaches just one particular region of brain and other regions face subdued activity? How can you block out impulses to certain regions of the brain though? I am really curious about their art/skill now. When doctors/scientists try to explain miracles, some strong believers rubbish them saying that man is too low a being to explain supernatural phenomena. But weren't the yogis exceeding that limit too? By not just being able to fathom the deep secrets, but by using them and having the power to tweak thoughts? Why doesn't anyone blame them..?
Mysterious Blogger!
Why is psuedo name or "blog name" so popular in blogsphere?Is the sexy and mysterious appeal the common motive or are there deeper reasons? You want people to care only about your writing and not as a person...or are you afraid people will judge you in daily life based on your blog entries?
Are psuedonom bloggers afraid of the impression they create? Or you don't want any baggage from blogging to stalk you into your real life? Does that mean your real persona is different from you literary one? Do they want people to know about their life only through what they write and want no one to do any background check (read Google) on them?.
There is definitely some issue of credit in here. And it is ironic that the best creative blogs I know of are by "pen name" bloggers and the most shameful directly lifted one I read.the writer/s had no issue whatsoever in making their names public and infact publicise their blog with zest.
