NEWS FLASH OF THE DAY!!!
After resisting tremendous amounts of coaxing, persuasion- even downright humiliation- for a long period of time, I finally caved in and broke my Whatsapp virginity today. Seemed the right kind of day for it, too.
Those who know, know that even if I am officially declaring it now, I had actually signed up with Whatsapp last year, but have been using the service only for the past few days- trying to test the murky waters before taking a full-blooded plunge into yet another world of social-networking.
After trying it out dedicatedly, I would say in conclusion, that it's quite an intriguing little thing- equal parts addictive, equal parts seductive, equal parts annoying, and equal parts dangerous****. Reminds me of Mata Hari.
The addictive and seductive part is there for everybody to see, so no point in expanding upon that thought. The annoying part (atleast for me) was that there's NO SIGN-OUT! Anybody can send me a message anytime he/she wants and if I can't reply, I am the one in danger of getting labelled a 'sourpuss' and a 'drama queen'.
