"Yougosocial" revolution


I loved many social networking sites for different reasons.Facebook to connect to friends, gtalk for chat,yahoo for mails,songs.pk for music and sulekha.com for putting up classified etc but never did i get a single platform where i can get everything that i want .

BUT...

today one of my friends introduced me to yougosocial.com, a social network site, and i instantly fell in love with it.Its has got everything that i ever wanted.Now i can have my own blog, my add space, chatroom ,i can share my music ,meet my friends,write blog and do every other thing that i can think of.

Just like google groups i can have my peer groups created in it.I can share my videos and pics without opening other tab for picasa.

One more thing...no need to create another yougosocial account, one can log in using facebook id and password.What made me love and trust it more is the fact thatYougosocial has a lot of validation and acceptance which is quite evident through its impressive alexa rank of 17000

I am sharing links below...hope to find you all on yougocial.com.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

We humans are really one crazy lot.What we have we are never satisfied of.We want the things we dont have,hardly caring for things we already have.We have family, we have friends, we have people who care for us but still we crave for attention.We want strangers to accept us.Why is it so difficult to stay satisfied.

When i consider friends I am of the opinion that we should have few friends who we are loyal towards not to a whole bunch of 30-40.Henry Brook Adams was a famous U.S. historian,American journalist and a novelist.He is famous for his autobiographical book called
'The education of Henry Adams'.This book was written way back in 1907 may be thats why he wrote:
"One friend in a lifetime is much;
Two are many;
three are hardly possible."
Unbelievable isn't considering nowadays it is so easy to make friends. Our facebook/orkut/twitter/myspace/HI-if...account boasts of 500+ friends.Anyone with just a bunch of friends is frowned upon as a loner.May be if Henry Adams was born a century later he would'nt have made such a fatal mistake of assuming that a person can survive with just one friend.Call me dumb but i still believe i would be happier if i have to care for three four people rather than a whole bunch of 40 -50.Its easier said than done actually because i cant choose a few friends i 'd want to be associated with.Technology doesnt let me choose my friends.One or the other of my friend turns out to be friends with someone else and the cycle continues and before i know i am friends with more friends than ever. But its not all that bad too yes i am to please people and its difficult to be goody-goody to all but had it not been for my friends i woudnt have been able to pass 4 years of my college life in the the way i did.Had it not been for them i would'nt have enjoyed those pathetic movies i saw or managed through a boring lecture.Now that i am on the verge of completing my college i have a lot to thank them for-be it end time note exchange or the unwavering support during viva my buddies have stuck with me through thick and thin.

I'll miss my college days they have been the best days of my life...

Religion and why it is worse than a Katrina

“So many Gods, so many creeds’
So many paths that wind and wind’
While just the art of being kind,
Is all the sad world needs.”
-Ella Wilcox 1855-1919:”The World’s Need”

I read the morning newspaper the other day and the front page highlighted the latest bombing in Delhi. It forced me think how few people can be the cause of so much pain and suffering and for what? I mean they are gaining nothing from doing this are they? And then they let the world know that are true followers of their faith and that their religion tells them that what they did was right.
Everywhere around the world one will find tiffs and fights between groups of people over religion. Salman Rushdie exposed the ills of his religion and got endless fatwas issued against him. The worst thing actually is that the political parties make use of religion to earn few damn votes without thinking what risk they are putting the community in. At least the natural disasters don’t distinguish between people based on religion so there is no scope of vengeance and hence no more bloodshed and death and blaming and when you think about it these disasters actually bring people closer binding them together than separating them as religion does.
God gave us mind to analyze what’s right and what’s wrong, but unfortunately we have been made numb by the endless teachings that have made us nothing but puppets of religion. Dennis Potter was right when he said “Religion to me has always been the wound not the bandage.”
