Virtual versus Real.

Online crushes, online poetry,online craziness,online friends, pouring your heart online, online marriages, and what not!

How much of virtual life is real and vice versa?Ever wondered about it?

Well I have, in fact I do...often.

Five years back, I'd have called anyone stupid who'd have dared to argue about the fact that a virtual internet life often intercepts one's real life. Now I'd call myself a fool not to realise this much.

I've made loads of friends on Orkut, even though Facebook is considered to be the more 'in' thing. Well, I guess I'm still old-fashioned. -sighs-

Not to say that all my Orkut friends are close to me, but still there are quite some who play important roles in my life, so much so that few of them mean more to me than some good real-life friends. (Real-life friends-No offence mates. You all are still special.;) )

When exactly did these close 'virtual' friends cross the threshhold of virtuality-to-reality I'll never know for sure. My birthdays are made special because of these special 'virtual' people who call me at 12 at night, struggling to be the first ones to wish me. I look forward to their visits to Delhi and talking to them. Meeting them wasn't strange at all and it felt as if I'd known them all my life.

Earlier I'd feel I was one of the rare crazy creatures around and had lost the hope of meeting someone like me. But now I know better.Late night conversations, giggling on stupidest of things, keeping in touch with people who have drifted afar, singing crazy B-grade songs on every situation...AAAH Life is a bliss thanks to the 'virtuality'.
