FB2 ---- Vagabond: Smitten and Bitten

Second year in a glimpse: 'Internet, Movies, Apple-- The Beginning '

Here cometh the Internet.

Yes, I used net before.

Yes, that's right. That's what I used it for.

No, I didn't stop.

Spell bound by the charms of Social Networking, I spent most of the evenings "HI'ing" and "SSUP'ing". Met new people online and was thrilled by the extent and depth of conversations possible between two complete strangers. Joining a community in Orkut and entering a debate gave that much needed rush in otherwise stale college life. New friends were always made. Old ones, after few quick enthusiastic exchanges, were forgotten. In a way, that's also happens in real life. Isn't it?New always replaces the Old. Otherwise, how can one learn anything? Before I drift away too much, I meant to say that this phase provided the basis in understanding relationships.

Coming back to physical world, there were two incidents, rather accidents, that, in hindsight, had a profound influence on me. Am not going into the details. But, for reference, I like to code them as #Black and #White.

Movies:

' Which is first: The Chicken or the Egg?' case here between Movies & DVDrips.

One thing is certain. I was bitten. By the Movie bug. More into that later in the series.

Apple:

As if it's not enough, at the end of second year, I was smitten by a fruit. Apple. Anything I write about the Cult of Apple and its influence on me can only be undermined by the reality. I will save that rant for future.

P.S:

I didn't go in-depth in any one of them as it was just beginning-An Inception.
