social networking?

This is a poem I wrote a long time back on the phenomena of social networking through the net. A tirade aimed specifically at orkut. Now after a year of orkuting,perhaps I can write in again here to speculate on my own perceptions. The poem is in Bangla and no I am not taking the pains of translating it. Just spoils the fun.

Pacche haashi , haaschi tai, hashar onek karon bhai,
Manush machine guliye geche emon bhabar karon chai?

Pasher barir ratul dada,gofete se diche tan,
"Ronaldinho? Tucho manush,janish amar kota fan?"

'Fan' abar ki janbo bole messege pathai kakar 'cell'e
Kaka kande,"saathta amar tar modhe chota chele."

Edik odik jigesh kore karonta bhai jante pai,
'Orkut' er kutkutani,bondhu korar jontro bhai.

Compu khule profile likhe tangiye rakho jontrotei,
Jontro jaale porbe dhora bondhu sokol olpotei.

Bondhu kora darun shoja,kichui temon korar nei,
'Add as a friend' botam tepo bondhu hobe sokkolei.

Chitti lekha, golpo kora, messeginger dhoijo nei,
Chera kagoj adan prodan notun juger potro ei.

Nijer roome, compu khule bhabchi kake bondhu kori,
Pasher ghorer sentu chele diche tokhun golay dori.

Bonduter asol moja;
Eaksaathe ragging kaoa,
Bonduter asol moja;
3rd yearer tourer haowa,
Bonduter asol moja;
Dine khisti raate ganja,
Bonduter asol moja;
Bathroomete HOA r chota,


Orkut? HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Sobi phaki,sobi dhoka
