Social Net ( work / liv ) ing

Happend to read some articles about Facebook Vs. Google+. Discussions like which of the two: is user-friendly, has more number of users, has attractive features etc., My opinion is that whichever site one used for the first time for social networking continues to be his / her favourite till the end. No matter how many ever such sites come up, first one is the best one for most. I have heard some of my colleagues say Orkut is much better (!!!!!!) than Facebook and easier to use (!!!!!!!). Atleast, I don't feel Orkut is user friendly. I prefer Facebook. Some others say Google+ is the best. Reason, the colleague started with Orkut, me with Facebook and others with Google+. So you see, first is the best. :) If we ask the previous generation they would say "Why a hype about what social networking site you use??!!!!". It is because, Social networking has become our "Social Living". :) Yes, the truth, that. Imagine with whatever time we are left out with...

What is in a name

This post contains some "suyapuranam". Hee hee. After all it is my blog. :) This is about my Username. "Sowmy Haasini".

This was formed by "concatenating" the first three characters of my name wiht the last two characters of my boy friend's (now my sweet hubby) name. SOWbhagya + gurusaMY = Sowmy. So, my laptop was named Sowmy'sLap. My mom and Dad may be furious on this. "I bought the laptop and u give ur boy friend's name to it. :) Sorry mom, sorry dad. :) Hope U both would agree that "It Happens" as Karthick always says. :) Sometime later I started using FB. I needed a Username for that. I decided to use "Sowmy". But, so sad... It was already taken. :( I did not like to add any numbers in my Username. So...

Introductions

Here I am blogging. Thanks to  singer Chinmayi  for the inspiration. :) I have linked Chinmayi's blog here. Hope she does not mind.. :) I guess this will be a very good alternate whenever I get bored of Facebook and Twitter and of course, my work. :) I joined my company on a Thursday, 15th. I have also started my blog on a 15th, Thursday. That rings a bell. :) Oh, I just notice that I have :) ed at the end of each line. That is wat I am - I like to smile - A lots. :) So this is Sowmy - working for IBM - married to Gurusamy - leading a "2 software engineers get married and the rest is left to their companies" life. :) I am the kind of a person who doesnt like what I do and want a change. :) Though my "Developer" position was my childhood dream come true. Hahaha that is me. All said, my husband is on the way back home. Have to rush to make something to eat. "Wife". :) Bye for now my dear blog (U have become dear to me in a lesser time). ...
