I don’t know how to write this blog post! Orkut might have been an another social network for others, but for me it’s THE NETWORK. Google has announced to shut down Orkut.com on 30th September 2014 through a blog post and I went emotional. I have obvious reasons to get emotional though.
It all started in my college lab. Someone was accessing his Orkut profile and I requested him to send me an invite to join. I joined the network, updated my profile with details and a profile pic, and started adding people to my friend list. Slowly I got so addicted to Orkut that I could not help but keep doing random stuffs on Orkut for 8-10 hours everyday. Probably it was all planned, it was all in my destiny. If Orkut were not there, I would not have been a blogger.
