Twitter, Facebook or Orkut - finally a relief for people suffering from PDA syndrome.

Long back, I was an ardent fan of social networking websites, be it Facebook or Orkut or Twitter.It was fun finding your long lost friends, connecting with them again after so many years, sharing photos of your wedding, convocation or recent trip.

But nowadays, most of time I feel pity for myself when I stumble upon some the status updates or scraps in some of our remarkable, very much hyped social networking sites. The reason, majority of our younger generation especially those in the late 20's and 30's are affected with a serious, contagious, non-curable PDA syndrome.I don't believe PDA's are romantic gestures to show that you care for your partner, but a great remedy to cure your partner's insecurity feelings and a lame way to prove that you are different from others in all aspects.Now are you thinking what the heck is PDA?

Ok..no worries..let me guide you through my diagnosis of PDA Syndrome:

Symptoms:

• Extreme forms of exhibitionism.

Root Cause:

• Inferiority Complex

Remedy:

• I hate to say friends...but no such remedy has been found.. (*sigh*)

I'm sharing some of the status/updates I've seen on Facebook,Myspace and Orkut with you guys.

Monster-in-law (a.k.a Mother-in-law)

Day 1:

Mom: Son, what did you have for dinner?

Son: I had some bread and chicken curry, Mom.

Mom: Bread!! Did I hear Bread ??

(Mom gasps for breath)

Son: Yes Mom.

Mom: Is it filling for you, Son? How come bread will be enough for you at night?

Day 2:

Mom: Son, what did you have for breakfast today?

Son: I had some Pancakes, Mom.

Mom: Pancakes !! Did I hear Pancakes???

(Sound of glass shattering all over the floor)

Son: Yes Mom.

Mom: But you never liked Pancakes before?

Son: Mom, I have grown up.I love pancakes now.Cant we just talk something else?

If you are lucky to be blessed with an understanding husband, you can expect quite a similar reply as he knows where she is taking this conversation.(In most cases, they knowingly don't respond to similar questions, not that they are really caring about their wife..they just want to avoid further clashes at home..)But if you are married to any of those delicate, ultra possessive, don't-hurt-my-mom's-sensitive-feelings kinda boy, please never ever expect a favorable response.
