Tribute to Orkut

Genre: College Life

The world might have embraced Facebook and declared Google’s Orkut a failure, but for me Orkut is very close to my heart. After all the contribution of Orkut towards me successfully completing my B. Tech Electronics Engineering degree is significant, something that Facebook could never achieve. Here is a tribute to those glorious days-

Kya kare kya na kare…

Kaisi paheli hai yeh…kaisi paheli…

Confusion hi confusion hai, Solution kuch pata nahi…

Solution jo mila toh saala question kya tha pata nahi…

Look at the type of “things” that got lost and Orkut helped us find…

…and finally The Revolt!

The only successful mass-boycott, accomplished thanks to Orkut!

Can Facebook match this? Naah!

    Me too!

    @Aamod, Zai

    While I appreciate your undying love for Orkut, my aim here was not to glorify Orkut (or malign Facebook) per se, rather it was to pay a tribute to the way WE used it! :D

    @Ice Maiden

    I can help you in shortlisting from there too! BTW, here I have left out some more juicy posts, lest someone decides to take action against me! :P

    I bet you don't do it via Orkut though! If you do, I will be glad to know that the legacy is being passed on all over India
