Confessions Online

Screwed up something?

Now you can confess here online!

Dont forget to read some interesting confessions there.Sample this

"I've had eating disorders since I was 13. I always felt that anorexia took everything away from me. Before I was a good student and athlete. I was healthy and pretty. By sophomore year my hair was falling out, my period stopped (and would not start again for years), I could not hold my bladder, I coudln't sleep, I couldn't play soccer. I knew my body was dying at age 15.I'm 23 now. I survived that epidsode, but I've never been the same. I've been bulimic ever since. In some ways it's worse now, not physically. But emotionally. I feel so disgusting, so alone. I isolate myself completely (to the point where i've moved a hemisphere away!). I've never dated since anorexia. I feel too fat. Too ugly. Unworthy of anybody. Undeserving of love."Cheers!

PS: Read a few confessions today...

This part of my life... called "Orkut"

"Connecting people" NO I'm not going to speak of nokia,but about "Orkut".Earlier when i was not in orkut a year and half before,i was asked by many "are you in orkut ?",i
wasn't interested in orkut during that time,it was Hi5 then.So i just shrugged off the idea of getting into Orkut. And now i have more than 620 + friends in my list *phew* No comments on this regard. I couldn't help it,it became more like an obsession and for some its a matter of pride.whenever they get time they are logged into Orkut.The routine for some people who are at home,say during vacation or holiday goes on like this,Get up-Eat-orkut-Eat-orkut again -Eat-sleep o yea not to forget that they check orkut once again before going to sleep [i did it :p only the last part ].I stopped using Hi5 now !!!


Now lets get back to my Orkut addiction part...I use Mozilla FireFox just for accessing orkut !! just because it supports grease monkey scripts[for those who don't know what it is,simple Google it and find out for yourself :p]. I also use MF for a few other sites [sometimes IE gets stuck,i shift to Mozilla]. I was facing severe reversal syndromes,whenever i open Mozilla i find myself typing "Orkut" then hit shift + enter !!!it happened everyday. Even if i open Mozilla when IE doesn't work,i usually end up typing "orkut" in the address bar,and i decided not to orkut again.But ended up at http://www.orkut.com/ the very next morning. I couldn't stop it,i was more like a robot,pre-programmed :p .I was like a fish in the aquarium surrounded by an invisible dome of virtual reality. For a moment i thought it was taking a toll on me [oh seriously i din call my friends who used 2 b online often or go to their home :( ] If i go at this rate @ 40 i would not even know what 2 write in the about me column.


There are so many factors which makes you stick to orkut,and at a certain stage i found that I'm using orkut more than ymsgr or anything else...the rate at which i used orkut was like getting increased like hell. That i realised on how much i missed "e-mails/letters " to my old friends.Some even forgot to write a proper letter!!! Orkut Orkut Orkut !!! Few parents in the northern parts of India were forced to take their children to De-addiction centers.The common complaint being "he/she is always on the net hooked to the PC" A recent survey also found that a on an average a boy/girl [aged 14-18] uses orkut for a good 3-4 hours after school/college !!! The solution being simple all you need to do is get your ass moving,go out of our home meet new people in reality which is more fun than communicating through orkut,you may not even know who's sitting on the other end but saying "Hi I'm meera from Mumbai" the chances of that person being a guy is also quite decent. a few have even encountered
meetings like this only to find that its a guy who's a total jerk !!!


Lets not forget how much orkut has helped us to find our old school pals,new buddy's, and what not you name them and they are there waiting for you.The communities in orkut, whatever be it say from "My name is so so" to "i love to scratch head" it is very well there backed up by at least 100 members !!!! A recent statistic showed reports that orkut is the most accessed site than Google in India. Hard to believe isn't it,nothing but the truth.Then comes the most prolific part the stalkers !!! Everyone knows that Orkut is very public and they still go on giving out their details in their profile or in scrap to a friend.Some even have this as a part-time occupation viewing others scraps/albums',not once but they keep themselves updated on what they speak to that particular girl/boy. That is one reason why i don't keep scraps... Well orkut has been in the news for various bad reasons in the recent past.Everybody knows about this,some news channel covered stories on this topic for more than half a day for 3 days. Only to find that Orkut has become a thing of obsession for everyone !!!


Now after nearly 1.5 years of orkut,I have managed to sync with orkut and my social life.I almost stopped using orkut at a certain stage for more than 15 days.During this period i logged into orkut only once before sleep [o yea b4 sleep] just 2 reply to the scraps and to manage the friend req's.As the craze for Orkut lessened slowly, i got invitation from more than 15-20 of my friends to join WAYN/Face book/ and two more i don't even remember their names. In fact i joined face book because i got too many invitations/compulsions*I'm laughing* to join it.I log into face book only once or twice a week just to keep in tab.The funniest part is that all the friends who are in my Orkut friend list is very well in my face book friend list.Don't ask me why i joined face book then !!! * good question.....but no answer :p * you should ask this to the ones who send me the invites


After i cut Orkut it was like as though i was missing something !!! When i was using orkut i stopped reading books.And with the chat lingo taking up [i found it hard 2 type the correct spelling] and now I'm happy 2 be back again !!! I'm calling it quits or at least half quits :p



PS: if you happen to find any mistake in my grammar kindly buzz me,because i din do a recheck
