Testimonials...

Today I at last deleted my orkut account which I wasn't using at all for many months, probably years! Just before I did, I downloaded the testimonials written by my family and friends. Now how do I save it! Well, thought blog would be a nice place to save the content.. I know blog is for me to write, but here I am posting what others wrote..... but it's about me!. :o) Enjoy the read.. Statutory warning - It's little hyped coz my friends and family loves me too much ;o)

2/12/08 Yogi --> This ones from my hubby


Hmmm. Sumee was love at first sight :) The more I started to know her the more I was in awe of her. Without doubt she is exceptionally brilliant and talented girl. I know her parents and family members are proud of her achievements and the way she conducts herself. She is the "TOM BOY" of their house among the four girls :). Integrity and no non-sense are sumee’s trademark attitude whether it is in-laws, friends or anybody. Outside the hard outer shell of sumee there is a softer inside which is rarely noticeable. I am glad Ayush is more like her than me :))

I owe my success to her support and belief in me all through these years. Like any other couples we have difference of opinion too, but you know in my heart I have high respect for you for what you are.
I am lucky to have her in this lifetime and hopefully 7 others ;) to follow. I wish you all my good luck to you and Ayush :)

2/12/08 Vandan --> That ones from my little sister


Chummee!!!I could write pages abt her ..Sumee is my Sister ...Protective like a brother ..Kind as mother … most of all always there like a friend .If yu are one of her many friends then yu know what am talking about.. i know it sounds cliche..but its the truth..she is the most understanding and caring person I have known ..She knows her prorities in life and doesnt care a damn abt what others think abt it.Brilliant in academics..very Creative ..guess its all in the family :)

She is one person with whom I can share everything at absolutely anytime ..distance never mattered... Have teased and troubled her enough to deserve good yelling from her.miss those stupid fights of ours where at the end of it all neither of us remember what the fight was for..hehehe.

Now she is far and .she has made a cosy lil place for family.Ayush and yogi are lucky to have her in their life

I thank God for having given me such a lovely sister.Love yu darling .Wish you good fortune and happiness ALWAYS :)

She,being the first Engineer in our family, have always looked up to her as an inspirational figure .On a lighter note , always ready to pull my leg, epecially with my female friends. Thodi durr chali gayi hai ,geographically , but i know she'll be there for me anytime , wherever we are ..Sumee tai , its been my excellent fortune to have u as my elder sister ...Thanks for being there , anytime and everytime i need u .

Social networking

I had blogged a while back about social networking sites. I thought I should do a revisit. :) I have been on facebook for a while now and I kinda like being in touch with everyone. Also not having to upload pictures and email. Now all I do is upload pics to my profile and share only with my friends and voila everyone gets to see. All my family members are on there now, so it's much easier.

When I was in Boston last month I was staying at my friend Raghu's home. He is not on facebook. With such a big trend of people joining in recent years I asked him why he was not. He told me something interesting that made me think back on my thoughts about social networking sites. He said, when he meets his friends after a long gap, he would like to know about them in person. Like did they get married, how many children. what else new etc.. My side of argument was that since I don't get to see many of them, I would love to know what's going on in their lives and be in touch. He likes the surprise factor of knowing / seeing all the missed out factors.

After a week of this conversation with him, I met my friends pal whom I hadn't seen almost a yr. But she is my facebook friend, so I knew she recently had a baby. I usually scrap her how cute her kid is and leave comments on her pics. That day when we came face to face, I started searching for things to talk about. Coz I think I had exhausted our conversation topics online, so in person I couldn't quickly come up with stuff. For the first time I was little puzzled myself of not being able to to keep up the conversation. I then remembered what Raghu had told me. Funny, I thought.. Coz I felt I shouldn't have known all about her, then I would have had a more pleasant conversation with her.. And was not in that awkward situation.

I do miss my days of calling up friends and chatting for hours. Having status updates keeps my friends posted on what's going on in my life (But pls, I don't update ALL the things I did in a day anyway!!!!!! ), but does that make me vulnerable too? Not sure. I am searching for definite answers, but meanwhile I do keep networking!! That makes me think, is the world getting smaller or is the world getting just smarter online community and there is no human interaction/ personal touch in that conversation.???
