Its amazing hw facebook attracts almost 40% population of the world towards itself..Arush being jst one of those 40% people. He is a boy from a small town of India who has come 2 a metro city just 3months ago after getting chance in a medical college in the city. It was about 5months ago when the exams got over n Arush got to learn the “basic principles” of a social network. And within a few days it attracted him like women attract a man like casino attracts a gambler. Being a student of a boys school the wave of charming ladies of the web attracted him immediately.. And due to his good and nice looks there was no shortage of friend requests for him from the gender called female. And it was a girl named Priya who became very close to his heart may it be due to her looks or may it be due to her behavior.. Their friendship grew in the months to come and it matured like wine with the passing days. Priya is a very sweet and innocent girl from another metro city. She was an year younger than Arush.
It was about a month ago when Arush started feeling for Priya. He felt there is something between them n slowly he felt it may be love. But he was too shy and afraid to tell it to her. And then came the twist in the tale. The entry of the Tina, a class mate of Arush in his college. Her roll no. was the successor of Arush’s. And thus they had to do the practical together. 1st Arush was hesitant in talking with her as all girls thought her to be a bitch and all boys were busy scanning her curves of her hot body all the time. Over all she was the best looking girl of the college and due to her attitude she got some taglines like “the bitch.” But slowly Arush realized that Tina was not as bad as everyone thought her to be..They became good friends. Arush got lost in two women one a virtual one and another, a real one. Entangled in this web he was searching for answer about whom to choose between the two.
4years later. It was the last day in college. There came a message from Tina saying “Need to talk to abt our relation aftr coleg..gonna wait @ canteen @ 5pm sharp…c ya..” And then came another message from facebook mobile service saying “Priya Sharma sent u a message on facebook : need 2 tell u sumthng regarding my life..U wil hav 2 take the decision for me…gonna be on9 @ 4:30pm J”.The hint was clear in Arush’s mind. Both the ladies wanted to make a relation with him.But he was not sure about whom did he really love. He bunked the college that day in stress and there was only one face which was coming in front of his eyes it was the face evry one said to be that of a bitch’s..It was Tina’s face..He was in love with tina..He was sure about it.
Then came the moment..He turned on his laptop and connected to the net at 4:25pm.he found Priya online… And before Priya could say anything he said about all his feelings for Tina.In reply Priya said she was happy for him and she called him as she was in love with a guy of her class n she was not sure how to approach him..So she asked help from our hero Arush..Hearing this he was relieved and then opened his heart and talked with Priya for a long time…And then @ 6pm he realized Tina was waiting for him…He ran like a mad dog towards the college canteen like any hero does in a bollywood masala flick for his heroine..And like every movie the heroine kept a letter for him “Before coming here I opened your facebook account as I knw da password. and found da message from Priya who I thnk loves you.And she shud hav told it 2 u by now..n da way I hav known you in da last 4 years I thnk u also luv her…so I dnt want 2 b an obstacle in ur life…bt before goin I wud lyk 2 tell u yes I luved u always from day 1…bye..you wont find me ever n if u thought me 2 b a gud frnd den please don’t search me ever..i will b happy…bye darling.”
Seeing this letter he was lost and felt destroyed..the love of his life had left him due to due to a social networking site’s crap! He wanted 2 do anything to bring her back.. But then he remembered what she wanted..she wanted him not to find her… With no hopes he returned to his hostel and opened his Gmail account.and found a mail from Priya it said :
“Today I wanted 2 say that I love you. But after hearing that you love some1 else I didn’t want to tell u about my feelings.But soon enough I found that I m not god I m a normal girl who wants luv in return of luv and hates the girl who took it away from you..but I m happy for you.i hope u get al da luv in ur lyf..u wil never find me again.i hav deleted my facebook account and wil change my number soon enough..Dont cal me til then cause I hav thrown the SIM card away..b happy my 1st luv.”
Finished reading he realized that he was the 1st person in the world who had unintentionally rejected proposals from two women in the same day…he was broken and shattered he wanted to cry he wanted 2 break everything in front of him and started wondering why was the thing called Social Network ever invented???its a murderer..it killed his luv..he hated it….the blue logo of Facebook was turning red with blood infront of his eyes as tears rolled down his eyes.
Epilogue:
After almost a month he opened Facebook to deactivate his account.. And in between numerous notifications he found a friend request. He couldn’t believe his eyes he was getting mad in happiness. At that moment he promised himself that if Social Network had killed his love then it will be the social network which will bring back life into it. The Unsocial will turn Social he mused. But it was just the beginning of another struggle in front of him for the quest of love. will the social network be able 2 bring love back to his life???
