All s crap
January 19, 2008
I know this is coming after a long, long time. Even I wondered as to when my next post would show up! 
No seriously, It’s not that one runs out of stuff to write but when laziness takes it’s toll the consequences are evident. Hey but that’s not the only reason- Bah! I know I am writing crap!
But guess what? I am not the only one, and apparently I choose to do it on a much better platform. The orkut scrap all thing (yeah that’s where the post gets it’s name from) is so very annoying. Back then,(that is about a month ago) I would open my account to find at least 85% genuine correspondences. But now, (s)Crap rules!. As long as it stayed to wishing and sharing festivities I did not complain, though admittedly it had no personal touch to it.(Does that sound as complaining? I have barely begun!)
There was a time when I used to reply back to everyone who sent scraps that faked about orkut deleting accounts, or people being able to generate money out of scraps being forwarded or you breaking the coveted love chain and not finding love for the next decade(!), asking them to authenticate their sources before blindly using the ’scrap all’. I did get a few positive responses before someone replied back saying-” I was just following the trend, and I expect you to do the same.” What the hell! No, I did not remove the person from my account and no he was not a fan!What I did realize was people did not care. They(most of them) knew things like these did not work, yet clung on to that floating string of hope of-what if it did? What if a miracle just happened?(because of a mindless scrap just you sent!) Wake up people! And please stop sending scraps to everyone unless it is an unavoidable necessity.
PS0: And that is not all , we get multiple copies of the same scrap!
PS1: Our Graphics assignment got postponed. 
PS2: Veg Extravaganza tastes yum with mushrooms .(this for all those who do not eat mushrooms because of it’s desi name. 
)

Once again i should say, a nice dissection of the phrase (All s crap) ….. u r gaining efficiency in this day by day.
And indeed this orkut “scrap to all” is too annoying. Well, this is not an official feature of orkut. I hope they will find some way out of it.

Can’t agree more with you.. This scrap all thing has been so irritating. Just keep getting random scraps from people.. This just suxx… People just keep misusing the facilities which they get.. I wish orkut does something to stop this madness…
Waise I was also thinking of writing on the same topic.. You did it b4 me..

I think it’s better start implementing all those ‘forward-scrap/message-to-get-10paise’ ideas than to reply to those unknown that it damn wont work that way…
So somebody please take the initiative to start a research center in IIIT(i mean IIIT-H) to implement the following ideas
1) To transfer 1Paise from a random account every hour to those people who are suffering from heart diseases, accident victims, blah blah blah, orphans etc by collaborating with IMF, RBI, Federal Bank
2) To change the fortune of a user of a particular social network site (say orkut) according to the messages the user sends to his/her friends by tampering with space-time continuum or sending notifications to the loved ones of the users that the user sent some messages and its time for them to react which again requires some telepathic technology to read users mind coz it is highly unlikely that that stupid user fills the online forms to let the server know the details of his/her loved ones.
and finally if nothing seems fruitful the ultimate idea is
3) To predict the users who are about to forward such stupid messages and send them a anti-message like “If you send the message you are about to send, you will lose 10 times more than what you already have” or “If you send the message you are about to send, your loved ones will kick you out of their world all together and you will rot for eternity without any death suffering from the yet-to-named disease”
and even after all this, if the messages persist, everybody sing “God Save the Queen”
