The Orkut Crush

I have that feeling again, of being in love. It is pretty usual for me – merely a routine work, people say it’s because of the positioning of Venus in my birth-chart. The only unusualness in this whole affair is that I have seen my ladylove on Orkut.com and never ever seen her in real life. For all I know, she could be an impostor – a boy posing as a girl, though I am sure that this is not possible because I have been tracking her photo albums for some time and it does look like a genuine profile of a girl studying in Indian Institute of Technology – Kanpur, India.
I came across her while browsing through scrapbooks of one of my friend’s friend. I saw her photograph and the first thing which came to my mind was that this can’t be any real person – no one can be so beautiful and I was proven right. It was just a trick of light in that photograph, the extra shine which made her appearance completely divine. Yet, I have to admit that the girl was pretty, and the fact that she had so many photographs in her profile made me visit her profile many times and before I knew it, she became my first ever online crush. The only sad part is that I don’t even exist for her, and I am not one of those desperados who instantly scrap every girl they come across ostensibly to have “friendship” with them but covertly hoping to have sex with them at the first chance they get.
Such social networking sites can come out as a strong alternative to matrimony sites because people are being more “natural” while putting their personal information and not trying to “sell” themselves to prospective brides and grooms so the information is genuine and more extensive. The other factor is the list of common acquaintances which are listed out when you visit a profile, so your background searching also becomes easier.
I wonder if Google is pondering launch of “Google Matrimony (Powered by Orkut)”...
