I was always a skeptic when it comes to revealing personal information on the web. Things that matter to me the most should be out there on the web for everyone to see, neither was I registered on classmate finder nor Facebook.
My logic is if I have to get in touch with someone why don't I just pick the damn phone and talk to the person. One of one phone/ face conversations are things that I am more comfortable with. Facebook doesn't allow me to do that hence never cared to open an account. Moreover with recent stores where people have gotten themselves in trouble by posting views, images on social networking sites. Recently a girl in India was arrested when she expressed her anger on the political system in India.
There are numerous examples of people posting about an upcoming vacation on Facebook, and finding their houses robbed on their return. Having said that, my recent experience in a small town in Germany lead me to understand the need of social networking in our daily life.
During our stay in Germany a few years ago, me and my wife used to dine at a small restaurant. We wanted to keep in touch with the restaurant owners, and with language a barrier it was getting difficult to converse via skype/ phone. On my recent visit to the town, I asked to the owners if there was an effective way of communication between us that allowed us to stay in touch and overcome the language barrier and voila the answer was 'FACEBOOK'. It not only allows us to share picture/ comments but also makes it easier to communicate using Google translation, problem solved!

It's finally over
Kasab is dead finally.
For those who aren't aware who Kasab was, he was one of the many terrorists that waged a war against India in Nov-2008.
Few gun man came from Pakistan, had come in from Pakistan and started shooting as if they were playing a video game! They specifically targeted luxury hotel and Jewish center the beacons of India's progress and secular corner stones. What really bothers me is not the fact he was hanged, but the time it took for the process to go through India's judicial system.
It was pretty obvious that he was on the forefront of this attack, our journalists and media personals had done a good job capturing the attack, for god sake we had seen countless re runs of these attacks on various news channels. So the question is why did it take 4 years to finally put the guy down.
I think the reason behind was that we wanted the world to know that India is a secular and democratic nation, where everyone has a right to appeal and defend himself especially if he belongs to minority and is coming in from a Pakistan ('the country that looks like a Dog'- go see Google maps and you will realize what I am talking about') but instead of being a loyal Dog, Pakistan has always been a country that is forefront when it comes to terrorism. Hey they were hiding the most wanted enemy 'bin-ladin' for years is close proximity to a site that hosted nuclear weapons.
When I first heard the news this morning didn't know if I should feel happy or sad, happy for the fact that it is over finally 'Kasab is DEAD' and sad because it took so long for the judicial process. Anyhow it is finally over now we can go back to blaming Congress for corruption.
