Stay in touch with your friends (If you want, too.)

Stay in touch with your friends (If you want, too.)

In the world of Internet & Telecomm, you don't have to try hard to be connected with you friends and family.

Here are some of the better ways to stay in touch with your friends.

1) E-mails :)
Adv:
(a) Not that costly (I’m desperately not using the word “Cheap”, because the word itself is cheap). You must be having internet connection at you home. If not don’t worry, you will get internet café, almost every where.

(b) You will get a change to show your friend, how good your English/Angragi is.

(c) You can send lots of stupid forwards to those friends also, whom you don’t want to keep in touch really then also for courtesy sake. (Having use of the beautiful tools like bcc (Blind Carbon Copy)). Try to make an impression on your friend that this mail is specially meant for you.

Dis Adv:
(a) You need to read all that stupid forwards (supposing that at least one of them will contain the stuff you are looking for).
(b) Waste you valuable time and money, by reading (so that you can forwar it to your friends again) & deleting (Simply a crab) these forwards.
(c) Disastrous is your family knows the user name and password, after all everyone must be receiving lots of personal mails.

2) SMS :)

Adv: Cheep too, even more difficult to decipher the abbreviation
Dis Adv: Same as above.

3) MMS :) (Bit dangerous now a days & bit costly too, but its really cool.)

4) Messenger :) If you are having lots of time and free internet connection then this is the best way to kill you time (In my words, “Samay Barbad”).
NB:
Conscious to be in “Invisible Mode” if you don’t want to make conversation with not so close friends and then also added them in your friends list
(Yahoo, Rediff, there are many just type the word in your search engine.)

5) Blogs :) (Ex: http://www.blogspot.com/; http://www.xanga/ , there are many, just you need to type in your search engine, blog+sites and you will get, if not thousands, but hundreds of blog sites.) and the nice thing about blogs, is you are free to comment anything (anything means anything :) as anonymous, nobody will come to know this even.

6) Phone calls :) It’s been a long time since Mr. Bell created the Telephone, yet it is still the better way to stay in touch. (More reliable and secure than the internet, but the darker side of conversation through phone is, if yours and any of your family vocal chords matches then it may be disastrous for you. (Now Phones are replaced with Mobiles, Mann.. almost everyone is having one). Even Rikshawalas....

7) Podcast :) New thing naa, If you are too tired to actually read the happenings in your friends life then, you can hear them. This is possible through a new innovation known as podcasting you can listen to their “intellectual” voices J on *.mp3 file format (Seems something technical), instead of having to read the long text mails with lots of Short codes, which will really be difficult for anybody to decipher (Half of your time gets wasted in comprehending the he abbreviated code). Though you are taking up the pain of reading this fantastic text J, (You know I am kidding).

8) If all else fails, don’t loose hope. How long they can avoid a barrage of emails, blog posts, MMS and phone calls. You banging outside there door!
(Adv: If you catch them there, then you will have a chance to touch them.(Oh sorry, you can always be in touch).
