a tale of 2 apps : social media of 2000s

01 Dec 2025

a teeny story of teen veronica : apps and evolution of dem.

teen veronica and i : parted ways after college started..

it was just the late annoucement of IP university’s session..

and the intensity which the 1st batch is required to study..

like hapless chicken : have no clue of ‘seniors’ of old books or papers.

she went arts/crafts way : likey her mom ‘advised’ her too..

...i think her divorced mom : was smitten by

‘power’..

pretty women : often are a cause of their pretty-ness..product of it..

as 90s able men : used dem as : to birth feminism of today.

the mom : was in her late 30s..and that is wen she was getting a taste of ‘reality’

of middle klass - savagery

heart breaks : are plans of sigma men..

and proud women : take it as ‘challenge’ to overcome..

the same ol : amit and simpi collection : ageless/timeless.

but we would keep in touch..

years apart ...

but in touch : via calls or just : via frens..

orkut is where we remained - frens..

orkut is where : she got married..

and went global ...with happiness of landing a somewhat ..

traditional rich - global family..

power of lawyers : the ideal match by mommy for the daughter..

lawyers are snakes : who u cant expect to be loyal..

the lawyer hubby : propositioned her to his boss..

kewl open society kinds..

she rebelled : globally..

and facebook : became her ‘home’..

the wall : was alien to ‘india’ i was raised in..

we dont get a ‘wall’ : a home of 4 walls is shared by as much - members..

keeping it ‘nice’ is priority of 4 of dem..

but facebook : is about : the ‘wall’ ...in 2000s..

the ‘wall’

: is ego : it is my wall...

i write on it : no1 else is allowed...

or is allowed : till he noews;...

orkut : was our snoopey grounds..

frens : writing public posts..

signalling in public signals..

the design : unpretentious : indian..

just like parks : nukkads of india..

it is public : and it is a challenge..

orkut went kaput with her marriage 🤣

...and she became ‘facebook’ of global kinds..

trying to find herselves in proud kewls of feminism..

living by ‘happy’ of her mother...

mirroring her happy as hers..

reinforcing her ‘life choice’..

and dey are happy . absolutely.

feminism : made dem happy..

and simpies and amits : make sure of it.

anyways : the long story : is about the ‘need’ of the ‘times’..

i do think : orkut had potential...but now the grey retired wolfie in me..

tells me something different : ...it is about psy/ops of kewls..

global kewls of global egos...is what made facebook fly..

and dese platforms by lizards : are thoths of loosh..

compete and complain by 99% ..

for likies of 1 %..

mine is a wish : an intent..

it is not ‘compete’ but a song.
