Intervening night of December 10-11, Friday

@dearreader, I am afraid we will have to get used to the @ from now on. I have been tweeting. I have recorded 467 tweets till date. Till yesterday I was at 100. Hope you'll understand. Allow me to be honest just for now. Please. I really feel like talking to you right now. I promise that by the time you read this I am going to be as sober as it gets in this day and age.

#crazythinginlove

A single moment of misjudged intimacy is good enough to screw the life of a young man for at least a week. Then his friends around him are laughing - at him mostly - and getting on.

@gulpanag

One night about two days ago, Gul Panag had to stay up longer than usual to calibrate her body clock for night shoots or some event of that sort (I am not too sure but we can always check with @gulpanag).

She was online and wanted something interesting to keep her from sleeping. What could be more interesting in the middle of the night than stories of love?

She tweeted asking people what was the craziest thing they had ever done in love. She started the #crazythinginlove tag. Her tweet was instantaneously broadcast to her 31,085 followers including yours truly who, at this point in time is shamelessly mawkish and hopelessly honest. So before we get on with the story, why don't you and I tweet about twitter for a paragraph or two?

@Twitter is the latest social networking fad. You have no friends, only followers on twitter. Sign up and it's not going to get you good looks or a good job. It will not help your business grow and as far as I can tell, it can help you get introduced to the pretty girl at the other end of office but sooner or later (let's say five tweets) she will know you for the loser that you are and then you will be free to broadcast your inner most misery to your followers. I assume, of course, that you will have some followers.

Day after day, you will get to work, switch on the computer, go to www.twitter.com, log in (you can't save the password as it's an office computer) and read other people's tweets. Someone is eating gajar ka halwa near Babulnath mandir, someone else is celebrating his or her 10,000th tweet, Rajdeep Sardesai (Sorry Sir) and Barkha Dutt (Sorry Ma'am) are lamenting the state of the nation, constantly tweeting so you don't miss the 9 pm debate on their respective news channels where political celebrities will lament the state of the nation!

I know I am indirectly calling you a loser, @dearreader. Forgive me. Like most sensible tax paying 'Jai Ho' types I too hate myself when I realize I am speaking nothing but the truth. Believe me. For a journalist this can be even more painful than realizing what one says and what one implies are really two different things. I know you're touchy about the office girl. Who isn't? I know your pain (Await my post: Office Prem ki Gajab Kahani). Let's just say if you're a loser offline, you're a loser on twitter as well.

Now that's something you're not told when your friends invite you on twitter. It's a revolution, they say, forgetting to add that revolution needs losers too. Thousands and thousands of them who will do nothing but follow!

Thankfully, dear reader, I am not like you. Calling me names are you? Teenager? Frustrated journalist? Do that it if helps you deal with it. I am afraid you will still be a loser when you read this.

@mayankis thanks @sigmundfreud for thinking up superiority complex

Okay for your sake, I'll run myself down a bit. Here's what I have just tweeted.

"Why do I get so emotional at 4:25 in the morning? Is it because I am beginning to have a serious doubt about this piece? Is it because I am ashamed of my writing?" You get the picture, I think.

#priyankachopra

I signed up on twitter because Priyanka Chopra is on Twitter. She is one of the few people who can make me feel 15 again. Another is @melissabell, who thinks I am insane. Like her millions of fans, I too have always hoped that in the end she will reject everyone else and choose me. So when the twitter bomb exploded in tinsel town, I thought that perhaps I have a chance. I signed up and began following @priyankachopra.
