Facebook Diaries : Adventures of an average Indian Facebook user.


In current scenario, when facebook has become a parallel life for most of us, maintenance of virtual persona has become sort of a daily chore. In an age ,where everyone is “cool”(on fb) ,there’s a sudden surge in weird and bizarre face-book handles, not to mention that every other teenager is a rapper or  hip-hopper ( on their profile’s) and every other girl is an angel or a doll.The deal with Indian kids is that anything remotely cool must have something to do with a rap or hip hop. ‘Angel’ and ‘dear’ must be the among  the most abused words in India on facebook  as of today . An average kid may not be sure about his vowels and punctuations, but he sure believes that adding  “f**K” in every sentence makes it cool (or kewl as some may say ). LOL is used more frequently than MOM nowadays (not that mothers are happy about it ). Well there are tons of people making a fool out of themselves on social platforms (whow, we thought only Miley Cyrus did that!). Youngsters don’t want to leave any stone unturned on the platform where every girl who accepts their request is a potential girlfriend (that’s what they like to think!). Desperation for popularity paves way for some hilarious screw-ups. Facebook is like a virtual party where you throw cheesy pick-up lines, get humiliated (in inbox,if lucky), get lucky ,get burned and sometimes end up making a complete fool out of ourselves(Admit it!).Well for the sake of sophistication,we all have a twitter account, but twitter mein woh baat kahan.Facebook status is the new broadcast now leaving jobless the gossip chachi's and maasis.
Presenting you the most ridiculous facebook handles i have come across during my face-book chronicles.
Khooni  Raghav
Drug  Addict Manoj (seriously???)
Smartboy Sharma ( He actually refers to himself as “smartboy” in his posts. )
Maya Dollas ( and he upgraded it to Maya Dollas II, poor guy!)
Nanhi Pari (Trust me,she’s not nanhi by any means or any scale for that matter)
Rapper abc xyz (well,thats your average guy who thinks uttering fast means hip-hop)
Kalyugi Baba (Ghor Kalyug!!! For sure )
Well,coming to demographics ,sociology could incorporate one more case study “Friendlist”. What i have observed is some components are universal for every friendlist. Well, my theory is well suited only for Indian profiles.
Puts every new song for a status ( Here you go “Aaaah,that one!!)
That one girl with a tv serial actress for DP.( or few for that matter)
That one  girl who’s the admin of sad shayari page.
That one guy who intimidates you with every post and photo.
That one guy/girl who tags you in his pics and mundane good morning wallpapers ( Got to agree,those piss me off the most!)
That one girl you message every time and end up labelling her “attitude wali” every one of those times.
That one back-up chat- girl who you could go back to anytime in case you don’t crack any new nut.
The one girl who has “hmmmm disease “.
That one girl who uses her nephew/niece for her profile pictures and a bunch of lurking guys ready with “cute angel” comments .
That one gym fanatic ready with his biceps and workout photos.
That one guy who  writes everything in decorative font.
That one girl whose posts make you seem like Hollywood is just about “Edward and Bella”.
That one cutie pie whose rare pics keep you waiting and sure land up in your laptop/mobile.
That one girl with more than 5000 friends who never replies to you ( Guys will agree to this.)
That one school-mate who’s sexy all of a sudden.
It’s amazing to see how facebook has become such social phenomenon and a high maintenance errand. This fever doesn’t seem to die down in near future. Here are a few mistakes or screw ups that we all have probably done or come across at one point of time or another.
Getting played by a friend with an alias profile.( Embarassing )
That one ugly fight in the comments
