Way back in the year 2004 I first took internet connection thorough my residential land line phone. The download speed was too slow, the service was costly and disruptive but still I was delighted with the thought that I am connected with all over the world. I use to imagine sometime I may come across some Eskimo while chatting; would ask how the life is for him there and what he thinks about us far away from his icy world! Unfortunately that never happened though I met many unknowns online and sometime some long forgotten known. Really it is amazing; meeting one or his son or daughter after 20,30 or even more years whom I knew before decades and have impressions of them.
In fact I can not remember which year I came to know about Orkut. One Sidhartha Banerjee wrote an article in my favorite news paper The Statesman. Google was offering to open gmail and orkut account on introduction; I logged in, mailed to the writer whose email address was given in that article. With his introduction I had my gmail and orkut account and we became friends thereafter. The Orkut offered me a new lease of lost social life. I think there are many to have similar experience like me. Of course the younger generation use this site with much enthusiasm but I felt it is useful to everyone. You may find, in fact, of men and women of every taste, liking and from every corner of globe.
In fact Google put all of us in debt offering this service free. Later there are many to follow Google's trail; so now there are many social sites in the web with various service. Surf them; you may encounter some surprise!
