the online coneXen



In the world of damn world wide web. we keep meeting madhuri dixit, salman and sharukhs. what i mean is strangers whom we haven't met or have no other connection other than getting connected thro some waste of time so called social networking or some chat rooms. what a idiotic connection these are. even some end up getting married to each other. i too was going into chat rooms in very young internet days.
as i involve myself actively in many yahoo groups activity. i find someone or other pinging out. which literally made me to run away from yahoo messenger. one boring day few months back i had a chat invite from a person. the identity of the person 24f. 24f looked like Chennai bus number 23c. that person even got to know about me a little bit as he/she was also involved reading few of my useless and idiotic mails in the groups. as the person had some doubt about solving some social rotten issues.. asked my perspective. i felt wow man... someone thinks i can be of some use to help in arriving in some unrealistic solution. then started chatting with 24f for say some 20 minutes. and then i had to justify my work... so started working. after a while 24f asked again, so what time you will be on chat next. as i was unaware of my timings, i told 24f to mail me if he/she required any help. after few days when i was checking my yahoo i saw a mail from 24f. 24f had shared the gmail id so that we can chat on yahoo messengers rival google talk. so, i added 24f to my gtalk. 24f was online most of the time on gtalk like me. 24f was saying good morning... good afternoon... and good nite... for a while i also pinged 24f back. it was during a nite time... when 24f started communicating personal stuff. and i wanted to end things there. unfortunately! 24f provided me a invite to meet in person. well! it took almost 3 months for me to go and meet her as i was in no mood in meeting strangers. but, for the sake of it... i went to meet 24f. its only then i realized she was a distant known to me... actually not 24f but 29f and due to circumstances she moved into a profession which is the worlds first profession. and she uses messengers and gtalks and socail networking stuffs to get clients. i was very depressed... i was puzzled for a moment and then gave some words to her and few minutes of genuine friendship before i left her. and then she had removed me from all contacts and also i did not try reaching her.
Well! so all you people out there. don't encourage any online strangers. u mite end up in a deep nowhere. try to get to know some real people around instead.

it is very true that u should not encourage online friends it is more like a blind date, but then it is also true that some have benefitted from such things, ultimately, it is fate or luck that may favour you.one should always be very careful with such things and should go ahead with ones own risk and should not blame others for the consequence. a word of caution i have never met any person till date who has been benefitted. thanks Vishwak for cautioning people.
