orkut..

What's in a name?
Why is orkut called orkut?
What does it mean anyways?
Who thought of such a wierd name..?
Why couldn't they think of more meaningful names like myspace,orface book ,or mingle box...

I mean imagine a kid being called 'Orkut'!!
he wud be nicknamed,'orky' or 'kutty' or 'kutting chai'...
Imagine the kids saying 'or kya yaar?' and then saying 'orkut yaar !' then going into peals of laughter.
Orkut the kid,would have had a tough life..

but..it didn't happen like that did it?Today orkut is an important part of our lives.
Before orkut, 'scraps'were just pieces of cloth or paper to me.But today 'scraps' means connecting with my past and present.Connecting with old friends,strenghthening bonds.

so what is the magic in 'orkut'..
i think it lies in the name.
orkut could belong to any language ,mean anything..
it could be marathi,bengali,punjabi,malyali..
'orkut'might have it's roots in sanskrit or latin or greek...
'orkut' might be a hindu,muslim,christian ..anybody actually.

'orkut'is such a vague, non sensible name ,for a reason.
somethings in life,especially friendships,need not make sense.
u dont need to know a persons caste creed religion region of descent to be friends..
and that is what orkut is about..
that is what life should be about..

Dont think,friendship is not about thinking ..it is about..being.

5 Korean phrases every K drama fan should know

5 Korean phrases every K drama fan should know ./  5 k drama phrases which add drama in a Korean drama. Korean dramas or K-dramas are filled with sweet predictable clichés , scenes that are repeated in almost every other drama, because they never seize to bring on the drama feels. Are you a k drama fan? Have you noticed how some scenes and some phrases get repeated in so many dramas? Here are a few of my favourite Hangul phrases which help heighten the drama in a Kdrama. Orae-man-iyo / Orae- mani- dae This phrase means ; it’s been a long time. The first version Orae mani iyo is the more formal way of saying it.it is one of my favourite phrases, a fabulous drama building phrase, it could be used when two arch enemies meet after a long time , one grew up to be a sleazy lawyer, the other an upstanding prosecutor. Or two high school sweethearts with a heartbreaking breakup meet in their adult life. It is a phrase filled with emotions; be it a veiled threat , a sense ...

Sharing my gifts , my life : Birthday retrospect 2021

  Happy 37 Birthday to me ! And for my readers of my annual birthday retrospect, this will be my 13 th year of writing a birthday blog. Wow, what a commitment. So, what was the one amazing thing I did this year ? I decided, just one fine day – to share . I started by sharing my food. It was the first time that we were not going home for Durga Pujo, we were in 2020 and the world was in Lockdown, I missed Pujo bhog, and I missedthe general excitement and enthusiasm around Durga pujo. I wanted to call a few friends over and serve them a typical Bengali meal, but we could not call people home- we were deep in N95 masks , and social distancing was in place. I decided to pack little meal boxes for my friends, and then decided I wanted to share the food with the everyone, and so decided to do a Bengali Pujo POP-UP . I ordered Gobindobhog rice, and kasundi and we made an elaborate menu with Rosogulla , deemer devil, and a non veg menu and a typical pujo bhog menu with khichuri, labd...
