I've been on orkut for more than 3 years now, and was going through the 'about mes' i've written over the period. It sure says a lot about a guy, the 'about me', and this is applicable to my case just as well. I don't have or remember what i wrote there when i joined the site, and have documented it only since the beginning of 2007.
The very first of them is this mess, and i don't remember or fancy why i wrote this -
"hell i'm sarthak! but dat's quite obvious (the title says it yaar!), (n pleez, 'i, black' doesn't make me a 'kalmunha'!!)so i guess i need to put in some effort here n fill dis up! but frankly i've not a slight clue so as 2 wat 2 write down here. i mean, wat d hell m i suposd to say, wat do i think of myself (thinkin s such a wastage of tym, u c), or wat i want u 2 think of me, or wat others think of me (hell, hw m i supposed 2 no dat!!!), or wat i think others think of me, or wat others make me blv dey think of me, n blah blah... (nw hu says i'm bad at p&c!)so, does dis translate into dat i have nothin 2 tell u about me? (or worse, dat i don't even no 'about me'!!!)err....no!!!!but, i guess u'll have to ask somethin specific 2 get d answer 2 it, as many ppl tend 2 fill dis column with all sort if shit dey can think of, n i definitely don't wanna do dat! (mmm, am i jus doin dat!!! wtf!)so, d bottom line is, ask me wat u wanna no, n i'll definitely tell un if u think i'm not worth it, 'den y d hell r u visitin dis page, u asshole? Go, get a lyf first!' ."

Next came this -
"your profile is not supposed to be obnoxious, is it so?and it struck my mind that this 'about me' column shouldn't be starting with a question too!and that you are supposed to write about your checkered life (hmm... it isn't simple, but not complex either),but frankly speaking, there are many things i would not like to share, as there are many more which you (yes, you!) would not like to know either, and i am at total loss so as to whimsically get or figure out what i should say, or rather omit! yes, that's the word i was looking for, and now i can safely hide behind it! (do i find myself shouting 'eureka!')no one gives a damn... do you?i could move the world, but was unable to find a fulcrum,the fulcrum could only be seen when the lever was in another hand,all this time, i found out, there was another one right at my back!i thought, 'how could you be so careless?'in the meantime, the world was moved by someone else, and yes, he wasn't using the lever!this was the time, when i realized that the other hand was mine!!'The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.',George Bernard Shaw.i buy this philosophy,and i guess this should be sufficient. (though all this was certainly not succinct!)"
[only one word, 'ego']
Then-
"a stubborn idiot"
Followed by-
"a typo in this humongous God-algo {:)]"[a typo would render the algo dysfunctional!]
And this process continues to this date, as you might expect it to. I kinda try to be satirical and metaphoric, sometimes to succeed, and most of the time end up conveying something even more brilliant than what i intended at the first place!
The following song by LP may most aptly conclude this post, and the year as well!
