When you are considered to be someone who would not what the infamous "Orkut" or "Hi-fi" or any other of their pointless siblings are, what do you make out of it.
It happened once when I went for this "golf partners/friends"[of my pop and mom] dinner, cause one of the chaps had scored a "hole in one". I would say there were about 6 families, about four had daughters who were 16 years old(what a frightnening coincidence-for me). I was 20..
I did an "eeny meeny miny mo" to choose which bunch i should sit with so as to feel less awkward. I chose the daughters, cause they were asked to ask me for study-advice(what fun).
anyway, after I was done, they started between themselves, about some girl seen with some boy etc. etc. and what someone's "hi-fi" profile said. I looked my usual disinterested self, when one girl mistook it for "lost" and started to tell me what the supercool "hifi" was..I nodded and said " I know, and there is a possibility that i'm on it..".Surprise.They said "Oh..".
Yesterday I was having lunch with my advanced macro text at the opposite kopitiam, when these two undergrads, one who is convinced I am having a tough time in Singapore, came and sat next to me. General conversation, I asked them what was up with Jassi..they said, she rose from the dead some time back etc. etc. Soon enough we were back to some guy and his "Orkut" profile..I again thought I looked fairly disinterested, when one of thought she came to my rescue, by carefully explaining what "Orkut" was. Once she was done,I said, "I know..I'm on it". Surprise again.
Maybe I make people take me as serious..Not Orkut Worthy..whatever that is ..must be good.
