FM and FB.. A love story !




It all started almost two years ago when a friend of mine visited my place and I came across the very famous question 'Are you on FB?' for the very first time. I replied quite honestly as 'What on Earth is FB !' I was then showered with all the good things only FB could offer. It all sounded like a sales pitch but ultimately I was forced to create my FB account. It was all Greek to me at that time cause I was into all that scrapping stuff on orkut.

Minutes turned into hours and hours turned into days, time went on & on and I forgot that I even had an account on FB.

Then the most incredible thing of my life happened. My classes of CA Module-A started at a very well known institution in Karachi. There I came across that same question again and this time I had a positive reply.
Just when the level of my curiosity reached its peak, I gathered all my courage and logged on to my FB page. I then texted some of my classmates and asked them for their FB ids. That's how I started adding friends.

Time rolled on once again and then something happened which accelerated my love for FB like anything. I created a group for my classmates. Everyone joined that group which ultimately became our virtual playground. I started spending a substantial part of my day doing fun stuff on FB. These notifications, status updates, shared videos, comments, pics.. everything was making me go gaga over FB.

Well, I handed that group over to one of my classmates just when I felt that my studies were being neglected but my love for FB didn't get hampered at all.

Next thing I knew was that I was spending hours and hours on FB uploading pics, sharing links, commenting on posts and most of all.. playing FarmVille.

FB saved me from being a socially isolated bibliophile and I thank FB for that. Thanks to all my friends for being there and tolerating my frequent status updates and commenting on them as well. Cheers !
