We learnt in school that the world is round. Since the advent on internet, it's a flat world. Add networking to it and it shrinks. You have all sorts of people, from different places, some like minded and some not so like minded. It brings out your alter ego for some. Its like they are let loose demanding friendship and declaring love to all and sundry.
Almost anybody who has an email id, is on Orkut. Thankfully with competition from Facebook, they have changed the privacy settings. You have the option of keeping your profile private only to be visible to your friends. Yet you have some total strangers declaring their undying love, persistent in their friend requests and some just get plain creative. Like this one man (supposedly) who calls himself Rakesh; apparently my admirer. I received the below message from him

Psycho, Desperate, Lonely or just trying his luck ? I'm so sure this message would have been posted on a lot of female profiles, he will have no pic on his profile and only women as friends there. And no I am not interested in looking up his profile.
When you see a private profile, (which clearly says that strangers are not welcome) why don't they get the message that I am not interested.
I value my friends and this kind of an email just totally destroys the true meaning of friendship and love.

Jo,
I couldnt have put it more across better. this is definitely something that is irritating the hell out of the fairer sex. So glad Orkut is making things more private and safe. I dont want some 40 + year old man letching at me or any one in my album its disgusting. they send the same message to everyone its pathetic! i Wanna be in your friends list hotchick! - reads my latest friends request! gross!
haha..
A guy who s 5.9, tall and fun ! who will respect your feeling, will care for u always, loves tennis, cricket, wants to share his feelings with you and u DUMP him ??? What do u want in a guy ? He is a dream match , Pick you cell right now and give him a call, before someother gal gets lucky :-)
Hehehehe !
PS > see throught the message he says he wants friendship with you and then signs off with love you a lot LOL
Ah ha! Well, tht guy sure seemed to be looking for 'holy matrimony'.
I call such guys as 'online stalkers'
Sad, how lonely people get.. He needs to find a job that makes him work 24/7
hey...
u all are looking at the wrong side of him... let's look at his creativity... he would have come up asking for love in a straight manner... but he had done in a different manner... of course, it lacks credibility....
well...Jyothi Gupta... urs is a nice blog... keep posting...

( Don't think that it's a back link...it's just letting u know that i'm a blogger... i don't ask ppl to read my blog...)
@megh: ur so right..these mails and messages totally put me off
@ravi: my first reaction too :)
@santosh: sounds too good to be true!
@ankur: haha..holy matrimony:)
@raji: 247 job might not help, he would still be lonely.
@satya: my point exactly, love has become just another 4 letter word. This is not the way u ask for love or friendship!
ohhhhhh I love this post!!!! You said the right words!! But, I can't imagine somebody writing this kind!! hahaha!! You know what I do I just block them!! and kissa khatm!! hehehehe! Moreover, people keep track of the profile pics too!!
haha thanks Ankita...really sweet ur reading my old posts :))block kar ne se pehle aise mails aate hain ya..kya kareen..ab twitter pe bhi aane lage.
