The population of desperate males has suddenly shot up much like our Indian stock market. And the products of their intellectual masturbation are to be seen all over the sundry Net communities - Hi5, Orkut and now Zorpia. Was dragged into the last one by the Fairy and boy o boy! Is it infested with weird creatures so eager to make "nice friendship".

Now this is what I call a real gogetter! I have absolutely no clue what makes my profile so very attractive, considering there's no photo and almost nothing said about m'self. And, he feels I'm "creative and passonate"...FREEK[sic]! Where the eff did that come from?
Some dashing dude, this one!
I'm being subjected to another kind of mail, too. I've been invited to join the kay-matrimonial group. Please note kay is a shorter version of Kayasthya. (How keeewwl!) Boy, they've even found out my caste! Says: More Than 25000 kayastha comunity[sic] Marriageable Bio-Data of Brides and Grooms From different kayastha Sections. I mean how do these search engines assume stuff like unmarried or divorcee or married but still interested in an EMA. Talk about intruding my privacy. For those of us happily married, despite all the happiness, I don't think we'd ever wanna go that route again (at least not unless we've settled for a nice fat multi-crore alimony from the present one and signed a contract with the prospective one on the same, before walking down the aisle:P).
But as N argues, look at the brighter side of things. "Even at your age and with your hideous looks, people are interested in you," he says.

Hehe, despo Indo-males can be the worst spammers.I am pretty sure some where on his C:\ drive Rakesh has a template.txt where he needs only to change the name of his targeted female and shoot an e-mail.Or maybe he used his software talent and created a spam-bot to carry his message around the globe.
That makes me think did spammers in ancient India used spam-pigeons?
Best part would be if you don't like it you can kill it and have a pigeon roast.
hahaha! Rakesh (Ur admirer) is a riot. Do keep in touch with him if only to string him along. After all with your creativity and passion I'm sure you can find ways :))
Do you also get mails trying to sell you viagra? Either their database is all messed up or I have male listed on my profile, but they think I need help with my um...sexlife.
simply, simply delightful :)
so did ya "make" friendhip or not ...
oh god, I can do a thesis on this. such long mails also some of them write. what patience and dedication to the pursuit of frensip!
Is this for real? Good grief!
Chillabong: bhery innobhative..tk u:)
M: Ya riigght! And thankfully, no one's got a wind yet of my sex-life or lack of it:P So no viagra mails for me.
Bona: Liek I said...
Shrabs: tui and Moi and we may have to rope in Ron too!
Lali: Everything's for real, in the virtual world, at least!
One come across such types on Orkut - one guy regularly puts in long poems dediacted to friendship- and here I am lamenting on the paucity of time and sneaking time off work to read yr blog
