AKA bandha parties :)
Or I’d rather put it attention seekers or people who know best to market themselves ;)
And when these guys blow their trumpets, they sure do look desperate to tell the world about their capabilities, but a simple minded person (read moron) would only think they are trying to write a simple entry in their blog. No offence meant….this is after all one egotistic world!
And why do that in blogsville, are you kidding me…this whole space is about yourself and how much louder you are than another person!
For instance ‘saying sitting in my living room watching TV’ might make you sound like a depressed Bridget Jones outweighing Usilamani gobbling up buckets of Ben and Jerry’s
But picture this…’sitting in my living room wearing my halter neck brown T with my diet coke with the TV playing some random channel’
That sure sounds like a babe…what more, ‘random channel’ would mean, you are probably not interested in the TV at all…may be you are with someone…may be you are…..okay lets not get to that :P
So you get the idea right?
So next time put in references about your work (only if non IT esp if you head your concern, please do brag about it at every chance…this is the single most important thing!), the car you drive (if a sedan…please specify…saloon…never mind), your sprawling home, your PG degree/course (read MBA) even if it is from the University of Jhumri Talayya, your little doggy (if you named him Mani, at least change it to Max in your blog!...And strictly no poms…German Shepherd and Labs; okay)
References to your friends in a post…please use stylishly shortened names…Jennifer becomes Jen, Subramanian becomes Subra (hehehe), Divya becomes Di…
And the IT chaps; every onsite trip, no matter how ridiculously short, must be preceded by a bye-bye mail (it’s a different story that you would by all means continue blogging when overseas..) and hey don’t forget to update your profile!
Spend some time on your profile, sometimes giving away as little information as possible might be cool and yo…but that might really turn off and drive away new bees
So put in some bits and pieces about yourself
Music; A.R.Rahman is a must…but other than that, make sure you have a lot of firang names. And for guys, please don’t mention boyzone and backstreet boys…it gives a completely different meaning! Ditto for movies
You might think ‘Tiramisu’ is a Jap Lad, but just add it to your list of favorite ice creams….trust me; it works!
And any dish that sounds vaguely continental
So next time you post….remember, there are a hundred eyes that are watching your space, trying to idolize you….and every post is your chance to do just that

P.S: The easiest way might be to betray such secrets, the way I did…. ;)
P.P.S: I am no exception to this rule…no one is :D (the profile rule I mean) But I noticed that some spaces over did it….hehehe….couldn’t resist mate! (the content before the 'profile rule')...Seriously, when will I learn? ;)
