Orkut, the new Bible?

Jesus H Christ! What is the world coming to. This morning I woke up to the shocking news of double deaths of an Infoscion and his wife. Apparently the bloke suspected his wife of infidelity and in a fit of rage strangulated her and then hanged himself.

Gulp! Infy, Koramangala... All pieces of the puzzle seemed to be a part of life gone by. Had I ever passed this guy while I stayed for two years at the KEC? My heart went out for this guy, the anguish he must have felt over the supposed betrayal and the futility of it all.

The papers also pointed out very clearly that this was an intelligent guy. But immediately went on to add something about him being a "peeping tom" who used to hack desktop visions of his colleagues. Something stuck to me as odd! Here is a man who just died. And there comes a friend who is supposedly a "friend" of his and he gives such unflattering statements like that. What a cynical world. But then I brushed the feeling on.

In the afternoon, logged into ORKUT, I just typed his name on whim and sure he was there on the ORKUT. While his scrapbook filled with the RIP messages left me all the more melancholic, know what chilled me to the bone?!?! Word for word about the peeping tom was picked up from nowhere else but his testimonial. What a shame you journos?

Do you know what are testimonials? Do you know how they are written and in what sense? A man who joined Infy 9 years ago, must have been a genius geek to say the least. That, a man of that calibre could come up with such a tool is no big deal! Must you highlight that in wake of this terrible hour for him and his family. Shame on you...

As usual, you, the weird journos leave in hanging my head in shame.
