Social networking sites

Friendster, Facebook, My Space, WAYN, Ourkut, LinkedIn - endless names for keeping in touch with people - but are we actually more connected to others with all the 'networking' sites. I am afraid not. Atleast not me. I hate logging on to the websites and updating what I am doing. Not that I am an anti-social creature - I like personal meetings and keeping in touch with people but thats not happening much lately.

Infact, lately I have realized I have difficulty striking a conversation with a friend. What is happening to me! I could carry on a discussion with a complete stranger for an hour but finding it difficulty to talk with a friend.

Conversation with a stranger is difficult; is a stranger to me. I try hard to escape with a simple smile yet social grace imposes a conversation with that stranger. As I stumble with courteous words, I try to silence the vulgar voice in my mind. I am not running away from you my friend, its my past that I am trying to get away from.
