Do I have some new scraps? I enquired to Anoop who was busy orkutting. He opened my scrapbook. There were 2 new scraps. One was a common scrap and the other one was from my cousin. I was excited on seeing it. My cousin was studying at bangalore and he was new to orkut. I was eager to reply him. After Anoop logged out I took the seat and made me available on orkut.
I registered in orkut in Nov 2006. Orkut didn't had much impact those days. There were very few members in it who where known to me. And so it became bored after one month of continuous use. Later many of my friends joined on it and praised it. But I didn't feel much craze on it since I had already known its taste.
I didn't even log in for almost 10 months. My friends were very active on it and I would try to turn my face when they use orkut in front of me. I always thought it to be useless and never supported my friends.
One day Alex was using orkut and I joined him. He was simply scrapping an online girl. I abused him and called him shameless. He suddenly opened my profile which was kept as if sealed for a long period. There were many new scraps in my scrapbook. I just only planned to have a gaze at them. But seeing my scrapbook I couldn't stop reading. Many of the scraps were from my old school friends who were once very close to me. I missed them a lot and I had thought I could never find them again. I logged in as soon as Alex logged out. There were many new friend requests too. I became very excited and replied each of my scraps. One of them was online. Chatting to him through scraps gave me a very unique experience.
I am now a consistent user of orkut. A big thanks to Google and the Orkut who where behind this. I found many old friends, made many new friends and more and more I gained from it. I really love orkutting and updating my profile once in a while. I felt it to be utter foolishness for keeping myself away from orkut for this much long period. Now I can't stay away from Orkutting...
