Testimonials Testified

Orkut is the Culprit. Probing eyes on lookout for friendship are exacerbating it. The need to be one up is the driving force . It is the testimonials dude!
Infact they are now the new literary feature where one needs to be at his whackiest ,tenets of diplomac be adhered and the man at the receiving end of it all literally that emerges after is no less than an aggrandized human with capabilities making him a prospect of MicroSoft (Your Potential , Our Passion).
Believe me writing a testimonial is just like treading the thin wire precariously. You have to prevaricate , especially so when the prospect's favour is a quid pro quo. Today where modesty is the byword as feats have become rare to comeby , the truth is at the receiving end . Only some sane ppl and me definitely excluded , manage the balancing act . They are the real diplomats . Now understand what diplomacy is. Infact writing a testimonial is a stepping stone for greater manipulations .
