It is the era of social networking. I have fallen prey to the evil of facebook,twitter, google buzz, linked in et.al. And as a ritual, i do the following like many others.
Logging on to facebook and checking out others' status messages
Entering google buzz and reading all shit that appears
Opening Linkedin and look for jobs and forums
Reading Gtalk status messages of all and sundry on my chat list
Open an email forward that floods my mailbox every morning
And as a result of these regular exercises...here are a few things from these spaces that caught my attention over the last few days.
Nothing's fair...except in love and war...because in love and war there are no reservations!!
If fire fighters fight fires and crime fighters fight crime, what do freedom fighters fight?
Internet Explorer Six, resident of the interwebs for over 8 years, died the morning of March 1, 2010 in Mountain View, California, as a result of a workplace injury sustained at the headquarters of Google, Inc.
Life was much simpler when Apple and Blackberry were just fruits
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
Live it or lie it
My name is Nithyananda and I am not a saint!
People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why they recommend it daily
Every man dies; Not every man truly lives.
There are three sides to any argument. Your side, My side and the Right side.
These eye catching flicks come and go in our lives and i have realized that it is thought provoking and fascinating to revisit them time and again.
P.S: Having started this thread, i would make it a point to bring more of these timely and famous brickbats that catch one's attention from the social networks like a summary, once every month on this blog..
P.P.S: Only the first on that list is my own composition. The authorship of the rest should be rightly attributed to those who created them. I do not take credit for the rest on the list.

My half century on the double century
Bat Up! Half century of posts on my blog. There wouldn't be a better time to talk about the "double century".
If you are
a) A Cricket Lover (or)
b) A Sachin Fan (or)
c) A sane human being (or)
d) All of the above
You will get goose bumps on reading the following few lines. If not....Sue me!!!
"When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam.When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy.It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will."
P.S: The above paragraph is a TIME magazine quote on Sachin Tendulkar after he scored a double ton for the first time in One Day International Cricket.
P.P.S: The buzz word in blogosphere these days is about saving our tigers. Hence, my two pence on that front:
"Save our Tigers. Only 1412 (1411 from the cat family + 1 (me) ) left.
