POKER FACE!

One bright sunny morning, it just happened- I mean the opening of a FACEBOOK account, more as a measure to keep up with the Joneses.In the beginning , things were moving at snail's pace, I was a green horn and my ignorance came to the fore when I messaged my friend(oops I should call buddy!)through the status and the whole world came to know about it. Slowly I managed to learn the tricks of the trade.

The ignorance, turned to fascination which got converted to obsession and finally manifested itself as a ruling passion, I became a "facebookaholic"!

I was now tagging, poking, connecting ,reconnecting and socializing like never before. Friends and foes, who were scholarly intellectual, dimwit blockheads or plain ignoramus with whom I used to laugh, play, learn, hang around with,buddies who stood by me in my hour of crisis or who left me high and dry  were all jostling to share space with me in cyberland - I was infatuated by Mark Zuckerberg's innovative finding and literally swore by FB!

Life was so precious , as blue as the summer sky and  on my birthday, I broke all my previous box office records for the maximum number of greetings - my inbox was inundated making me feel young and bubbly as a teen would be!Wishes knew no geographical boundaries and poured in from across seven seas- from, pals who greeted from the bottom of their hearts
, some who were reminded to do so, total strangers who were friends to be and those who simply reciprocated my wishes to them . The good old moments were back again and the floodgates were opened for a torrent of memories. The excitement further grew, on browsing the wonderful photographs of old buddies- some who had shining pates and were paying the barber for searching the strands of hair on their heads, thin wiry folks who were now tipping the scales and roly poly figures who looked very affluent in their younger days appearing as if famine had struck them! Somehow I couldn't come to terms with the transformation from the everyouthful photogenic frames that was embedded in my brain.

Each one of them had carved a niche for themselves, become stalwarts or celebrities in their own rights making me to wonder whether to thank Almighty or Almamater or Destiny - all were success stories chartering their own paths ( don't know if it is less traveresed!) probably with magic wands.....The wide gap that existed once upon a time, between the topper and the dullard ,in schools /colleges was indeed a thing of the past.The stage belonged to all!

But the bubble had to burst, every peak had a trough, what goes up had to come down and I had to CLOSE the BOOK of FACES , take a sabbatical from the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder- so I bid adieu and moved on from one oasis to another as something else happened on a bright summer day......
