The Terror Dream

[An entry from my diary – 22^nd November 2002]

A few days back, I dreamt a mind threatening dream. My flesh shivered into goose bumps for the fear of loosing my loving ones especially my dear brother.

I saw, as we all family members were in some sought of hostel like building and staircase as one in my granny’s house. So, it was a mixture of both, as it was just only a dream. Then I saw we were beleaguered and attacked. It seemed that some sought of war has broken out. Fighter planes were just above our head and we were hiding ourselves in rooms, corners and some other places with no hopes left. We were all shattered on our part with lost hopes.

Further in dream, there seemed to be some truce. In that, I saw my father infact my mother sending my brother to market to bring some essentially important accessories and I was not letting him go for the fear of something happening to him. I was crying and vociferating that we can live like that, we don’t need anything and instead I need my brother. Then my father was scolding me that don’t act like a kid, it’s essential to go. If not him than someone else ought to go…Then all the dream got blurred with painstakingly bleak sounds of planes and jets following it.

The dream was really absurd but for the first time did I realizes what would have happened to the people at the time of partition (probably this feeling came first as I saw movie ‘Gadar’ just a month back). But what’s the need of delving such deep, it has happened with the people of Gujarat just few months back- my aunt has suffered it. It is happening with the people of Kashmir, with the people of Palestine… Israel… Afghanistan… with the people of…….and so on it’s going on happening and happening.

Dating moves on e-street....

e-dating, today, is fast becoming the new passion among urbanites, taking everyone from teeny blood to those past their prime by storm. The enticing rushes that virtual market world gives the participant is biggest high for them, apart from various other factors.

Prospective can be many and advantages can be even many more. But then question arises is, who are the prime movers of this hanging market? With mere a click you can match all your needs and get them delivered at your doorstep. Great!! Isn’t it? Well, it is.

You just name it and websites are game to it. Well, what I mean is take the word dating on search engine and plethora of websites pop ups promising to arrange a perfect date for you. These online dating portal aims at setting dates through the online registration that can help people to search their dating partners. A total Democracy funda- “of the people, for the people and by the people”, e- dating portals adheres too. Online dating portal acts as a platform that provides space to guys and girls to meet their needs. The mechanism works on the concept that people who want to search a partner for dating can set-up their profile for free that can be visited by potential dating partner anytime on simple registration

How it Works?

• Free registration for login id to search your date
• Secure gateway to maintain your privacy
• Category defined dates with easy to use navigation
• Preferences based on age, gender, location, likes, dislikes, level of dating etc
• Featured profiles

Having had a perfect dating quest equation, it just works like any other jerry aunty in your vicinity! You tell your requirement and get results instantly. Unlike these matchmaker jerry aunt’s partner hunts, online dating websites gives you free registration and instant mania adding more bounties in the kitty already filled with advantages. Why do they do it…when they are not charging you? This is the instant jolt to your mind. No one takes the pain in neck and certainly not everyone like the idea of social ideas. If you haven’t ever noticed the kinky ads (banner ad, affiliates and blah blah) on their web page associated with accessories and apparels and lot more stuff that suits the dating class than go… have a look! You’ll be answered yourself.

With a grand leap into the bandwagon, online dating is already a big success, though needs a further succession to great future. Problem arises when bad things turn out on dates arranged through virtual market. Girls are the worse victim and online dating sites simply take a back seat by shrugging off their responsibilities. Well, shirking your stake if your user encounters some drastic experience is no way out. But then where lies the catch. How to ensure that guys are at their best fits when they go on dates through e- dating. Companies may end up with sonorously repetitive a piece of advice ‘Don’t trust anyone blindly’ but be careful yourself before you tend to fix the deal. Even if you are male than don’t sheer yourself with attitude that getting cheated is none of your concern. Recently a man was sentenced to prison when a girl’s MySpace page lied about age. She was 13 yrs old and the man was charged on grounds of dating her. Ignorance is certainly no respite!

To end with, e-dating culture growing at an exponential pace, girls and guys are not just restricted to class-defined gentry but find a ubiquitous presence among all and sundry. An extension to Glocal age (Think Global, act Local !!), without doubt e-dating funda is a great portal to bet upon.
