When we ignore and go past those around us and our emotional side walks to the edge of our social being and we peek into the World Wide Web to look for a new person and, end up finding one -- only to walk the exact same walk that we had done before and only to the same logical end as we had arrived with others in our life before this person. This is social network in essence.
This process self repeating makes us churn and burn ourself in the very pursuit itself, over and over again like running between pillar and post, to the exact same logical end, howsoever illogical it may appear to others around us. This is a total waste of our energy since it makes us consume our total time and energy while we are alive, in an endless loop.
I am very aware of it and suggest to those who maybe listening or reading my blog that unless you want to burn all your life in a single loop, stay away from it. It is social suicide. I hate to sound anti-social but a social maze is better where you accidentally meet and connect with people round the corner in your daily life. It is intellectually rewarding and, surely, lot less loopy. I don't have anything against computers or the World Wide Web but I find social networking making billions for those who are making it ever easier for you to make your loops faster and zoom around it even at dizzying speed. It is just that hundreds of million minds will be rendered 'looped', for lack of a better word, in the pursuit of something more gratifying which isn't there in the first place.
I have lost a lot of my published and unpublished work over the years to diaries, computer hard drives and, lately, to memory sticks. It seems only appropriate to find a home for my work on the world wide web for friends to see where was I going with my thoughts, when I am finally gone! You will see some samples of my shairi as well. -- A. Salahuddin

truly an extraordinary gift on my birthday. a writing which is honest, intellectual and sharp. I love it. it made me become a person who has much to learn from you, whether any shortcomings and strengths you have. not many people are capable of removing the contents of his heart and write what's on his mind as intelligent as what you do. I really appreciate it and simultaneously salute to you. for me, every opinion expressed to me a valuable lesson that is not possible can I buy or find it with ease, all need a process. and I really enjoyed the process. and to undergo the process, I found many things that I need and I studied it. thank you for all the support and knowledge for me.
Social networking is the product of the commercialization of the internet--a tool initially designed to aid communication among physicists who worked in widely seperated locations.
very rightly said Arif
