Moving-Life Clinic- Week 1

Disastrous. Week 1 was a disaster.

So I didn’t buy the Blackberry but end up subscribing to the montlhy service to surf the internet/email  on my cell phone. And peer pressure pushed me into joining orkut, but I’m not sure how long I will last there. I’ve been thinking about this — most friends I went to college with are very active online on facebook, myspace and now orkut. But my group of close friends fall in the age group of 24 - 29 and this demographic is not incredibly active when it comes to social networks.

Mainly because Web 2.0 rose to it’s current pedestal only in the last couple of years — and most of these sites were launched after the 24 - 29 crop graduated college and post-college degrees in some cases. Inadvertantly, they were left out of this wave. Although they don’t particularly feel left out. They are definitely active bloggers, podcasters and vloggers. 

My goal was to cut down my online networking and indulge in physical, non-virtual networking. Instead, I cut down on blogging, desipunditing and other postings expected of me. Not a good move. I did however, find time to walk the streets and take in the vitality of life. I spent my time smelling the various fragrances of organic soap at Whole Foods, reading in the park, and walking instead of taking the bus/cabs.

I’m heading onto Week 2. Let’s see what I discover now. Did any of you try ? How was it like for you?
