ONLINE CASTISM !!!!




ok ppl... i am back after hiatus... damn THIS coll.... fine i ll stop ranting now...

k call me a little behind the times... started using orkut recently k... found all my coll pals and some of my old school pals...so that was cool... and then to my amazement found my school's community that was neat....

here comes the irritatin part... i found a community which was my so called subcaste of my so called caste k... i wont get into the details...but wat irritated me was instead of using technology to break barriers we r using it to make new ones... really plz tell me do we really need a community for this...its just plain stupid...

Very often i have had this argument to y we need this with the ppl of the prev gen and now to find that it might continue in ours as well is kinda depressing... i think wat tends to happen is we get trapped in the interia of traditions... i have always felt any practise has to evovle...but i never tht i would see castism ONLINE ! who the hell r we to think that we r beta than someone just becoz by the pedrgree of our birth.. somethin to think abt...

till next time... over and out

Criticisms:

1) Too much usage of "..." in writing. Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT a writer's style.

2) Kindly edit blogs before posting. Spelling errors there, try and do the spell check before you publish. Quality of the blog says a lot about the person.

hey...still pissed bout the community on orkut eh !!
i guess people use their caste, sub caste as this security blanket thing.. gives them a feeling of belonging and of course, its a status symbol for some.. stupid, but true !!
as for our generation... we can only hope that technology succeeds in breaking these barriers before the caste system succeeds in prejudicing our minds !!
